Adams is worthless. Why didn't he dunk that?

If Presti is committed to Adams, we're screwed.

Wonder how far Rudy Gay is away from returning? Wonder if Melo could be convinced to come to OKC ?

That has to be by design though, right? Like as much as it's happened they can't be doing it on their own and Billy not noticing.

I like that Donovan is doing the same **** he's done all season even though it's evident it won't work against the Rockets.

I hope that is just BS to keep his value high in the event that he does get traded. There is no way they view him as untradeable. What has he done to be untouchable.

It is. We just switched Kanter on him.

Let's try more post ups. Great strategy.

We're so horrible in third quarters. It absolutely has to be Donovan thing, it makes no sense that even with Russ we play this horribly game in and game out.

You know you're screwed when Roberson is by far your best player in a game

This lineup should have Gibson at the 5, not Kanter.

They just said Roberson averaged a career high, 6ppg this season. I needed a good laugh.

Because we have 2 pick and roll defenses, one is 'just switch so we don't have to bother' and the other is 'have the center retreat all the way under the basket and allow an uncontested five foot floater.'

It really helps us that we have a working 2nd unit and a coach who understands what kind of adjustments he needs to make.
