The reasons why


Yes. Game flow is a real thing. When we move the ball and players move, we hit more shots. When everyone stands around and watches one guy dribble, they get cold and miss shots. Also Sabonis isn’t jacking up as many threes this year. I’m sure Oladipo getting abs helped, but we misused him.


Again, have you even watched that team or are you just looking at the box score? Jesus, how hard is it to answer the question?

Yes I’ve watched them. Have you, or are you just staring at Oladipos abs?

Edit- I don’t have to watch every game to recognize a good performance. I’ve seen Ben Simmons play twice. Does this mean I’m wrong if I think he’s a good player? The box score isn’t completely meaningless.

Almost losing is better than losing
“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.

Yes, I’m just looking at his abs, that’s all.
I’m also not one of the people claiming that all players who leave OKC get better as the basis for an argument that the franchise/coach/Russ all suck.

Vic improved at stuff unrelated to Russ. He's drawing fouls and finishing at the rim. That's not Russ.

Domas is literally an entirely new role. That's not Russ at all.
