Re: 10/21 - 8PM CST | G2: Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz
Next question, is Steven Adams the real number one option?
“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.

Grant in before Patterson. Wonderful.

Really visible differences in the quality of coaching in this one.

Re: 10/21 - 8PM CST | G2: Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz
I really don't think Donovan is the guy to build an offense. It feels like we've gone completely away from pick and roll when it should be most deadly.

Adams settled when he should have attacked the rim
“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.

Seems logical to give Adams rest when Gobert isn’t in the game but what do I know...

Yeah, this isn't good.

Re: 10/21 - 8PM CST | G2: Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz
Off to an awful start. Missing a lot of good looks early on. Westbrook alone has missed two layups. They weren't wide-open, gimme layups, but shots he normally makes. People will say "dat Jazz defense!" but it's more that our offense so far is just missing shots.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

Melo is really not athletic, his whole game is skill and grit. The truth 2.0

Grant probably earned ten more minutes with that block.

We could challenge Golden State if we canned Donovan nice and early and found a good replacement.

We haven't gotten a lot of looks that make me feel confident.

14 point first quarter and we missed a lot of good, open shots. Majorly disappointing.

If Alex can’t hit a wide open three then he needs to be on the bench.

3 hall of fame players go scoreless for 6 minutes. If you don't like that you don't like thunder basketball.

We are awful. Roberson doesn't seem to feel confortable with our new line up.

He's only been back for a week or two, gonna take a couple games to get in rhythm.
