Re: 10/27 - 7PM CST | G5: Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves
Have George or Anthony taken a layup not in transition yet this season? I'm sick of seeing George launch threes on the run and Melo settle for long 2's while being guarded by centers.
“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.

The refs kept it from being a 10-15 point game at halftime (in our favor), but we just couldn't outplay Minnesota in the second half.

Let's rest Roberson some games if he's injured. I don't see the point to give him only a few minutes and not playing well at all.

Also, it's blatantly ****ing obvious we need a backup center that can actually rebound.

That was awfully close to a 5-second violation.

We're 2-3. And our three losses have come to the Timberwolves (2x) and Jazz. Both are solid teams but neither are top 5-7 teams in the league; fringe top 10 teams at best. Our two wins came against the Knicks and Pacers, both are bottom five teams.
We suck.

Yea we aren’t on Houston or spurs level. This is going to be the most disappointing season we’ve had since cupcake broke his foot. Even then, at least we had hope for a good draft pick.

If we look only at our team stats, I don't see how this can be a L. So clearly defense was the issue. Looks like we need Roberson after all...
