He just had a one handed jumping rebound. This is a player who slightly tweaked his hamstring and they're embellishing it to screw up gameplanning

Agreed, I don’t understand this from his perspective. Yeah it’s do or die game but there are long term implications at stake here.

He doesn't have a Grade 2 hamstring strain. They've clearly lied about it.


Well, they are hiding him on Dort on defense for a reason, no?

AG is moving old man style. OKC needs to involve him on every PnR if possible

Lu Dort for 3 should be the last thing you're looking for on a fastbreak. Gotta play smarter SGA

Gordon can barely move out there. Not sure you can keep him out there if guys are just going to blow by him to the rim.

I think defense is the only thing he can really do out there....it's the other parts that are limited

OKC is so dumb.

Why are they not attacking Gordon on every possession?
