I thought Donovan would have the same effect Doc Rivers had for the Clippers and Steve Kerr for the Warriors. Both teams suffered from coaches who had no clue how to set up an offense, and all of a sudden they're running some beautiful offenses. OKC looks like they're still being coached by Scott Brooks.

Suddenly those two wins are not as impressive. Dallas loses to Charlotte and looking like OKC is not cohesive yet.

OKC has the 2nd best offensive rating in the league. Scoring is not the issue. They can't get any stops, especially in clutch time.

OKC was deadly when they had top 5 D in the league. They no longer play D. Kanter is horrible in pick/roll situations. Their closing lineup should be Ibaka/Durant front court.

I won't take the OKC win away from them since we were playing at the end of a back to back

On the general board they're getting at wiggins calling him awful and such. Saying they'd trade him for a slice of pizza. How bad is he playing.

Fair point, didn't know their offense was this good, it just looked average as hell against us.

yeah watching the game you wouldnt think they were dominant but they actually shot 48% against us... we kind of got owned... we just got stops in the clutch and despite people talking about the **** reffing, they only had 14 attempts vs our 39... surprising with guys like westbrook and durant on the team...

Something I'm curious about after watching this game:

Portland seems to have their bigs in playmaking positions in their sets quite often. Are their bigs better at that compared to the Raptors' bigs? I'd say the Raptors could use more Horns action with the bigs at the elbows with the ball in their hands, looking for cutters/shooters and running DHO's. Thoughts?

Noah Vonleh is Anthony Bennett's alternate timeline if he got picked 9th like he was supposed to

Charlotte is a much better team than the record has shown they lost 2 close games to Atlanta and one to Miami but have beaten both Chicago & Dallas. Would look at them as a playoff team more than Boston or Milwaukee. Orlando is in a similar situation with 2 tough overtime losses to OKC & Houston unfortunately with Vucivic hurt they don't have a replacement.

But what about wiggins sucking this year.

In before Wolves drop him and Masai picks him up, only to be Bruno's backup in the 905.

So what does that tell you?

The issue is with the players ... not the staff

The Raps ran a ton of Horns and Pinch Post the last 2 years with Amir at the high post.

Problem is they started falling in love with one of the actions where the guards would just rub off Amir and use it for an open jumper
