I was watching in spurts at work, but every time I saw the offense it looked like everythibg KD had in Phoenix… just no PG to speak of, and the offense just being someone getting stifled on the dribble over and over until someone finally just settles for a tough shot. The gigantic lineup and all of its variations looked clunky as hell on offense to me. I know OKC can have that effect on teams though.

Not as much as Wemby, but KD always gives me that praying mantis vibe.

I felt another Reed TO coming. He can't handle OKC's ball pressure.

I was watching some of the Lakers / GS game, and to be honest, even though I loved him when he was on Boston, I really don't miss Smart. His flopping is as bad as every always said it was.

Reed isn’t a rotation player and is a bust.
