2/22 - 9PM CST | G59: Oklahoma City Thunder at Sacramento Kings

[ThunderBolt]

George +26 in 30 minutes. Ferguson - 30 in 13 minutes. George-Adams +44 NetRtG in 32 minutes.

Donovan still unable to find rotations that work.

I’m just happy he hit his threes for once.

[Reign23]

donovan has still no clue about the rotation. how does he still put 5 bench players out there at once. bruhh

[Reign23]

incredible that russ hit that three after bricking all night long. why does he take threes again?

[Old Man Game]

I was watching Olympics and only switched over to see the last 3 minutes or so. But what a 3 minutes it was. Way to go Russ.

George +26 in 30 minutes. Ferguson - 30 in 13 minutes. George-Adams +44 NetRtG in 32 minutes.

Single game plus minus can be a bitch. But in this case I feel its broadly reflective of what we've seen all year from him. They must really feel good about what he's doing in practice. I wish he could spend more time D Leaguing it.

I get it, he’s not very good. I don’t know what his ceiling is as a player but I appreciate his willingness to pass and hustle. It’s obviously not giving us good results this season but my expectations for this season are kind of done.

I don't even want to use this as an indictment on him. I simply think the numbers are incredible. He turns Russ-George-Adams into a - 11 NetRtG lineup. Without him, they're at +11 NetRtG. Nobody can be this bad.

I think it’s more of an indictment on Billy. Its the opposite of Andres value. Yes Andre is great, but there is no reason he should be THAT valuable. Ferguson makes mistakes but there is no reason an athletic player who hustles should be THAT bad defensively. I think part of this could be due to the fact that Ferguson with the starters isn’t coming in and being asked to hold his own on defense. He’s being asked to do everything that Andre did.

[Andre Roberstan]

Ferguson makes mistakes but there is no reason an athletic player who hustles should be THAT bad defensively.

Have you heard of Corey Brewer? Or Javale McGee? Or Kenneth Faried? Ben McLemore is an active athlete who has zero idea what he's doing on that end.

There is plenty of precedent for defensive ineptitude by athletic hustle players. Defense is a skill.
