Inconsistent play from our main guys and that is the reason why we are so bad. I want to be happy but let's be real.. we beat two bad teams and will probably get dumped on tomorrow.

actually be virtue of our record, we can't exactly call ourselves good, we beat teams we should however we haven't done that consistnetly. We go into indy w some momentum and another chance for our team to prove they are improving and get a little winning streak going. I could really care if KCP scored 0 points, you simply have to watch the game to know he made a huge impact in other areas of the court

Also note we have lead many times through out countless games to only give it up at the end, in the 2 games we just won , we held those leads into the closing moments of the game, common thread?? Ish smith closed out the game, it could have also been 3 if Ish didn't get winded and RJ thought he had #23 on .

Also note, another game where Dre was engaged, while still left wanting, i'd dare say he's showing at least some consistency.

Chicago was up 8 with a couple minutes left and managed a loss. Just 1.5 games out of that 7 spot now.

Not a good look at all. You collapse on one end and stay down. Then you limp up the floor only to bump into KCP and fall back down. Going into the timeout TWO players help you limp to the side line. AND you claim you could go back into the game?!!?? And you have an attitude with dudes asking legit questions, not "gotcha questions"???

I almost hope he shuts it down for a little while to get his MIND and his BODY right. That was a hall of fame display of jerk behavior. Is that something else he learned from Westbrook? Smh

Hello OKC Reggie. How long before he goes full on hero ball, and then the rest of the players freeze him out?

Looks like Reggie is approaching Josh Smith territory, fck. SVG needs to trade him asap as long as its still possible.

Definetley can see he lacks maturity, it's a problem if that is one of your leaders.

Can kind of tell he cared about the W and the team, but is butt hurt they did it without him. I think he can feel the Sharks circling, Rubio playing well and hitting shots whilst he sat probably didn't help either.

Yeah, KCP does seem to get more of a pass here for his inconsistency than Reggie or Dre. When he has a good game it's "the real KCP" and his 1 for 7 nights are imposed on him by some mysterious force beyond his control.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

No mystery here. When KCP has an off shooting night he's still busting it in every other way possible to help the team.

Difference is KCP recognizes when it's not his night, doesn't force the issue, and contributes in other areas to help get the W. Reggie and Dre both force up bad shots until SVG has no choice but to take them out of the game.

I can accept bad nights, can't accept piss poor effort though. KCP gives it his all every night so I give him a pass.

KCP is always producing on the court even in his worst night, the guy really loves this game and PLAY TEAM BB TO WIN. He doesn't care about stats and that's an incredible young guy to have on your team.

Everyone is on the same and page and right track here. I think Reggie has heard his name in rumors, see's his team playing better without him and probably deep down knows that A) his knee might've ruined his career as a top 15 PG or B) his knee is gonna take at least this season from him.

SVG and Bower, throw Reggie's name out there with a top 5 protected pick and see who bites. This could get ugly.

SVG kills me, Most GMs or coaches would be trying to downplay that injury. SVG is just so brutally honest he was like " Reggie said it was good but it looked terrible to me and was just giving out" Good luck trading him after that lol.

Hahaha ya. Which makes me think svg does not want to trade him. Gotta get that knee right, and then we can have the reggie we all loved last year when he was Mr clutch in the 4th. I'm telling yaaaaa we are a Milsap or Ibaka type PF away from being really special. Hang in there fellas!

Yeah, that quote proves that SVG is not moving him especially when we'd get nothing for him because we're awful when he plays.
I'd love a Milsap or Ibaka type but not actually those players, too much money or guts that are old. (No one knows how old ibaka is)
