Man needs surgery those things look bad.

Looks like a severe case of valgus. Probably has flat foot too.

His legs have been that forever

You're asking him to bang with Lively and Gafford who are fresh and girthier than him. As a first year player he avg 8rpg with no other bigs next to him. Remember they also need him to be a rim protector.

He is too skinny to box out and they don't have any other big bodies to help him out. He is trying to rebound 1v2 on a lot of these and he just isn't gonna get position on those.

You may not like it OKC Fans but the only guy that can save this team is Westbrook

OKC coach just looks like someone who has benefited from SGA’s greatness

Ever since the Mavs began to rebound the ball, OKC stopped scoring.

OKC should be embarrassed by this lifeless performance at home. They look like the JV team scrimmaging the big boys. Playing soft, scared, and very likely going home in 6 if this keeps up.
