Been very inconsistent, limited offensive scheme.

Going to take some brilliance in the clutch.

Who did they lose that was a great defender? And you better not say CP3 or DA lol.

Craig was fine but irrelevant.

The last great defender they lost was Mikal, but I make that trade any day of the week. It’s Kevin freaking Durant.

Always loved how Watanabe has this little dribble drive game

As far as no PG goes...just wait till Beal gets back. The rest of the back court guys like Goodwin/Gordon/Grayson will probably make a lot more sense since Goodwin/Grayson cannot really make their own shot but are good for ball security and added playmaking. And for Gordon there won't be so much pressure on him defensively as a shot creator.

If things still look shaky after a few weeks with Beal then yeah I'll start to think a bit more negatively.

Durant needs to tighten **** up. He's looked sloppy as ****.

I haven't been a believer in that thought process and thought trading Payne to be a mistake for that reason alone.

I was just thinking about Payne too. I think he took a bit too much hate. He had problems and a really bad season but he played hard and had the ability to be really good at times.

I hope he and others come around quickly, else this could be a long and painful season despite the big money bets by Ishbia.

At his age he might just be cooked.

I also think he needs to stop shooting those deep 3's. He used to be able to make a lot of those but he should just step up to the line and shoot them and he'll probably hit a better percentage.

Wow. A DUNK in the paint. Ayton would have finger rolled.

Eubanks much better in the second half.

Can't wait for Beal to be on this lineup. Sol es so many issues we've seen tonight.

That's what I was saying too.
