I listened to that pod yesterday. Voulgaris' overarching point that its a shame we don't have a better role players to support KD and Russ is something I think a lot of Thunder fans would agree with. But the specific evidence he offered to support that was stupid AF. Like for Roberson his big example was that in the Spurs game he airballed one three and then banked in a corner three (the implication being that shot was off quite a bit as well). Yeah, that two shot sample size really tells us all we need to know, Bob. Thanks.

Also, LOL to him saying he knows how to beat the Warriors but just doesn't want to tell because NBA GMs follow him on twitter or something.

And here's Dion, talking about himself like he's some great scorer:

That answers a lot of questions about him. He just has no idea whatsoever what a terrible player he is. Like none.

Ibaka didn't get a single vote for DPOY. He should use that as additional motivation.

It would've been absurd if he did get votes. Adams had a better years defensively.

Durant and Ibaka a combined 0/4 on four wide-open 3P looks.

Gimpy Deron Williams comes out and hits 3 straight threes. Raymond Felton hits a contested 17-footer.

Depleted Mavs up 15-7 early.


Meanwhile, Durant's jumper has abandoned him...again, and Ibaka looks like trash. Russ is the only one who's shown up so far.

Not the best start is it boys! Just need to hit some of those WIDE open shots. Defence looking shotty as well.

So I guess we're back to terrible perimeter defense and Ibaka missing wide open shots.

We stop hedging the PnR and out defense goes back to ****. What gives Billy?
