Can we stop undervaluing Roberson? Our defense has been atrocious without him.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

When we play well, it’s fun to think of the possibilities. When we really suck, I can focus on the draft. This in between stuff just crushes my soul.

People who dont value Roberson are people who dont understand the game of basketball.

they dont watch basketball they follow basketball, check boxscores and draw conclusions

"But we won't keep PG if we fire the coach!"

But we're not going to be winning **** with him, and that means PG is good as gone anyway...

Just so frustrating. Braindead coaching. Stop **** switching onto guards you moron. Stop playing PG with the bench. Stop being our **** coach while you're at it. At this point I'd rather ride it out with Mo Cheeks as interim for the rest of the season, even if he's just as bad, because at least it'd be a new face to get angry at.

Terrible loss. Speaking of terrible, how was Turd Ferguson? I think some of these local media bums are probably a little disappointed. Some of them had already kicked Roberson to the curb after Ferguson had one hot shooting night against one of the worst teams in the league in garbage time.

Not an excuse for the starters, but Presti has to add some help to this bench.

this happens every season though. happened with dion waiters before. happened with alex abrines. now it's happening with ferguson. roberson is criminally undervalued by the thunder media and many fans. ferguson might be ok some day but right now he's a scrub.

It doesn't matter who we add with these lame duck schemes we run. Everyone gets worse when they come here.

I'm happy to see the results for the player of the game poll.

I saw Rumble the bison make a half court shot facing away from the basket so I voted for him.

No doubt that Roberson is a defensive juggernaut, but damn Russ has to step up and play defense too. Or at least shoot well.

Tired of Russ not getting any blame like he’s untouchable. I get that he’s God in OKC, but Jesus, call him out when he plays bad. Big money has to play better.

The fact that our defense takes a big hit when Roberson is out is a testament to Roberson covering for Westbrook’s defensive ineptitudes.

Agreed. Donovan should know how to use these quality pieces Presti went out and got him.

P.S. You may want to take a look at the plus/minus numbers of tonight’s game.
