Oladipo is 1-5 on free throws. Wow.

But he can shoot so he's better than robes. :lol:
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I checked the score and at one point we had cut the lead to 13. Checked again just now and we're back down by 23...again.

What happened?

Kanter is a one trick pony with a broken trick.

And the thing is, he shouldn't have to be. He's really good for a center off the drive. So he could be doing a lot of pick and rolls with Russ, like he did in 2015 right after we traded for him. But since pick and rolls are apparently the work of the devil or something, postups it is. So many postups.

Sam Presti was unable to make any trades during the third quarter so we continue with the worst roster in the league (sans Westbrook).

I can't believe it's even a debate that Westbrook should be MVP. If you've watched the turds this poor guy has to float this entire season there's no question in my mind.

Singler adds absolutely nothing to the table. If you're going to bring him in, you might as well have sat Westbrook. Donovan is an idiot.

The only player who has played well is Taj and dononvan benched him immediately. It's time for this organization to start over.

This is **** shambolic. We're down 20. The triple double can get ****. Donovan should be drawing a line in the sand and benching Russ and the rest of the starters. Wins over anything else. **** spineless of us. He should be allowed to get a triple double in a game that we haven't been complete trash in.

They both suck, and will be out of the league within 5 years most likely. McDermott obviously can't defend, roberson can't play offense. Both are a major problem, as their 1 skill doesn't do nearly enough to get minutes on an NBA floor.

Glad he finally went to the bench. Would be a terrible to break the record on this game.

Watch Presti lock McDermott up on a multiyear guaranteed deal at the end of his contract like he did Kyle. Would anyone be at all surprised if this happened?

Only mildly because he doesn't have the wingspan.
