10/25 | G4: Boston Celtics at Oklahoma City Thunder - 7PM CST

Yeah I'm done. Presti can show Billy the door then let himself out afterwards.

This team needs a GM that follows, and betters, existing, successful trends, not someone who's going to die on his hill of athleticism and wingspan.

Yep, the game has clearly passed Presti who is till stuck on his archaic philosophies and still hasn't learned that going "positionless" with long, athletic players is totally useless when only one player on your entire damn roster can shoot the three ball with any kind of consistency.

If only basketball teams hired some guy to provide leadership.

donovan doesn't have the clout. few coaches would.

You really don't give Westbrook much credit do you? The guy has had 3 coaches in his pro career if we're counting PJ for like a month and a half. The other two aren't exactly going to inspire much in the way of deference or respect. It doesn't mean he'd be like that for literally anyone.

he has been empowered for years to be this way. i do not believe in leopards changing their spots. usually they don't. not impossible, but i don't see any reason to believe he would be different under another, similar, coach at least while sam is still around.

[ThunderBolt]

I wonder if this offseason Presti is going to brag again about still working off the same blueprint from ten years ago?

We're still building positive momentum chemistry, give it another ten years.

Continuity. In other words, Presti won’t try to fix any shooting woes at the deadline.

[Kizz Fastfists]

Billy has to be gone right?!?! Thats two games now where he cant get us buckets in the last 5 mins of close games. Glad the Cavs lost again so its not just us in the winless column

Maybe if they lose to Phoenix on Sunday that will be enough for Presti, but I don't think so. If they do lose to Phoenix it will be time to start scouting the top 5 players for the draft.

Brooks had him more reined in than this. If I remember correctly he was even benched in a fourth quarter for Eric Maynor one time.

yes. he benched kd and russ together once as well against the bulls. russ' status with the team has changed big time since then i think. this is all obviously just my opinion. any coach with the chutzpah to bench russ in a game these days wouldn't be considered by sam imo.

[Andre Roberstan]

didn't westbrook give up like half of those? lol.

nah. He gave up on two screens and Kyrie hit on one of them, then Donovan subbed him. The big man 3s were on the Thunder big men getting back early in transition and the transition defense getting muddled.

The Westbrook experience in USA basketball would appear to indicate that he is coachable and can fit into a scheme that he actually believes in.

We can only hope.

[Kizz Fastfists]

because we only blame Westbrook On realgm didn't you notice mine as well join the party. Pg going 7-22 is westbrook's fault, so is adams not rebounding are team not being able to shoot, Donovan not being able to coach etc............ all Westbrook

I've been blaming Presti for over a year. I said blow it up right after cupcake ran off and OKC's window was closed. I did NOT blame Presti for cupcake running off. I blame him for every bad decision he made since including trading for PG13, not firing Donovan, not finding shooters, etc. FIRE PRESTI!

i know. i was being a tool.

[dakomish23]

I know it’s been tough, this one especially. But you can see what a difference it makes to have a legitimate backup C & one of the best backup PGs in the league.

It’s a long season. Those positives will result in multiple W’s ( on top of having an awesome 3 man core of WB PG Adams)

I think he has respect for Brooks. Maybe not in the total deference way, but in a way that when Brooks did finally pull him aside he thought enough of it to listen.

14-25, 56% on free throws.

The W’s are coming

[Pillendreher]

14-25, 56% on free throws.

And another below 40 % from the field performance while shooting 25 % from 3.

I would suggest Stackhouse for a coaching spot but he and Russ might actually fight each other
