[Thabo Sefolosha]

Figured we try it out a PG for the 50th game?

Burn it to the ground.

1. Josh Huestis needs to play more. We know how complete trash Singler is. Whats the worst that could happen by giving Huestis his minutes?
2. Domantas needs to play with the bench unit more. He seems like the only bench player with any bbiq if abrines isn't playing.
3. Payne looks so damned bad, but I said I would give him a few more games and I will keep my word.
4. Kanter with all his defensive woes is still invaluable (Would still trade him for a wing like CJ miles though)
5. Next 6 games are against Memphis, Portland, @Pacers, Cleveland, GS, @Washington. Things are going to get REALLY bad soon.

I'm fine with it though. If you want to keep your sanity for the remainder of the season (barring any trades), think of the draft pick. 16th pick in a deep draft ....

I have nothing good to say. I turned it off 3rd quarter, hot garbage.

I just don't have the faith Presti will at any point surround Russ with what he needs.

It was clear even in our contending years that we needed shooting. While other teams found actual 3 and D players, not just 3 or D players, Presti tried what...Kevin Martin, Derek Fisher, Caron Butler, Dion Waiters, Randy Foye, Kyle Singler. That's a pathetic list made all the more pathetic by signing Singler up for 5 whole years, even if it's a small deal money wise. Oh, and now we're having to put up with Roberson's crap. 26% shooter from deep taking 4 a game while also being completely and utterly inept in every other facet of offence, including free throws. For good measure he traded for Grant, who's slightly not as bad on offence and slightly not as good on defence.

Every other contender in the last few years had one or two guys that could hit 3s consistently and play D, or even just guys that were great shooters and weren't so terrible on defence that they couldn't be played. Morey did exactly what he had to do to get the most out of Harden. The obvious thing. Surrounded him with shooters. But Presti has never been able to find the right spacing and supporting pieces.

Tired of being embarrassed on national TV. They won't be televising as many OKC national games next year I would imagine if this season goes down the tubes.

ESPN hype machine:
Great news !!!! Thunder and the Warriors play in a BIG matchup on Feb 11th. See Russ and KD face off (for the third time). Watch the Thunder get crushed again (for the third time). Exciting matchup. Triple double watch. BIG fat L......

Not sure but feels like they always suck on national TV, going back a few years. I remember being beaten pretty bad by bad teams last year too.

I'd be a lot happier with this brand of basketball if we could at least dig in on defense. The starting Lineup especially should be able to shut teams down, of course the bench doesn't have a single good defender so that puts a damper on things.

What the hell happened to Morrow's 3 point shooting this season? 28% for the season. Even on wide open 3s he is only 31%. I know his minutes has been up and down, he is been in and out of the rotation, but still, it is not like this hasn't happened before to him, but until now he's always been at least a well above shooter.

Anyway, not much for this game, everyone except Westbrook was terrible.
