He's just not a good offensive player. While he can put up points on a lot of shots because he's athletic, he's just not a skilled player.

Not even a GS fan but got to be honest -- this is worst of basketball here and GS does some of the best overwhelming talent or not.

I had so much hope for Adams after last years playoffs. I see how wrong I was. I expected Kanter to be able to be a reliable scorer off the bench, but all i see is him getting blocked. Oladipo...mediocre. IDK, and why the hell has Taj been sitting the whole quarter?

Nene had the rebound, just let it go man. Why call that foul as long as they keep possession

I hate houston so much right now.


Westbrook too. He barrels into people on drives, creating alot of the contact. He's also picking up on Hardens 3 point foul shennanigans. It's just ugly when they play against each other. BS call on one end followed by BS call on the other.

OKC fouls on every play literally they're a very physical team.

Kanter is ok, but he can't touch the floor at the same time as harden



He'd get abused in that PnR

Plus he's got 5 fouls now. Cant be too aggressive otherwise hes out

I love Goatbrook but there's a clear distinction between watching him and prime Wade, brook has gone to the line 16 times but Wade was smart enough to know he wasn't a great 3pt shooter. 5-17 from 3 for Brook.

That is what OKC did during the year. RW was incredible in the 4th quarter during the year. He had some of the best clutch time stats in history. OKC has always felt if Russ plays more than 36 minutes it effects him. The bench being so bad he not really resting. He just sitting down for a couple of minutes then getting back up.

Man it is night and day how fresh Harden looks compared to Westbrook. Hopefully the Thunder get Westbrook a backup in the offseason
