I don't know why they didn't have Bender out there more, especially if people are tired. Ulis too. Bender can pass and get everyone involved as can Ulis.
Would like to see some pick&rolls with Dudley or Bender as the ball handler.

Re: Game 2: The Rise of the Rookies
Hate to say it, but Len is exactly the kind of player that would get picked up by San Antonio and flourish in their structured system. Let's hope it never comes to that.

Ok we understand your point. You don't need to mention it every game.
I was talking about Booker too. I did not single out Bledsoe and Knight. Booker was actually the worst.

Re: Game 2: The Rise of the Rookies
I like Booker in the post against guys he has a physical advantage on, whether it's height or his first step, but against strong, athletic guards like Westbrook and Oladipo it might not be the best option on offense.

Re: Game 2: The Rise of the Rookies
couple of thoughts....
the thunder have such a weird roster. this is the team they had set up before Durant left. We have a better veteran presence than a contender?? seriously can't blame Durant for leaving.
t.j warren is finally killing. I always thought having a guy with a great mid range game would be useful with how most defensive schemes let you have those shots. T.J. is proving it this game.
B.Knight doing his a solid job as 6th man. Really hope Bender turns out..we seem to need a useful young two way big man (Len aint cutting it and sadly tyson isn't young enough).
Pretty annoying that the last two games our best player (Bledsoe tonight,Book vs Sac) are getting into foul trouble.
Final thought thus far, any single guys out there avoid Oklahoma..My god that kiss cam made me throw up a little.

Yeah but I think that Watson wanted to try to put Westbrook on fault trouble...they were looking for the early switch and then putting Booker on the block.
It was not worked, but was a good try.

Well, they did have Ibaka, but traded him in the offseason for Dipo, Sabonis, and Illyasova.

Re: Game 2: The Rise of the Rookies
you have a problem when your worst decision maker on the team is your so called point guard.

Whenever I see Warren in I'm just shocked because he's gotten taller. He looks like he's grown two inches.

Yeah which is a trade that makes sense if they lose durant..but i think at the time Presti said the trade was made regardless of where durant goes. Might be BS and they knew from the start of fa that durant was leaving but they really never made a great supporting crew ...its a very young inexperience roster compared to any other serious contender even with Ibaka.
