Those two baseball passes that both ended in PG dunks were tremendous.

Biggest question of the year for me is can Westbrook come back from injury and find the balance that we’ve seemingly struck as a team without him?

I think that’s going to be very telling for how the rest of the year pans out. We need to keep getting touches to Ferguson, Diallo, and Abrines. Honestly, this year hinges a lot on how much these guys can develop.

Why thank you. You and I both know that Westbrook can do a lot of good for this team, but conversely he can do a lot of bad as well.

I just worry that Russ and Dennis together are almost mutually exclusive but we'll play them together anyway leading to much frustration.

more than 1/3 of westbrook's minutes have come with schroder on the court so far. it's going to be a major issue.

It's almost like the first 20 games of last year didn't happen sometimes.

The
can Westbrook come back from injury and find the balance that we’ve seemingly struck as a team without him?



This was the same thing said early last year. He did it. It looked like a trainwreck.

Imo his slow start was a direct result of him taking tough unbalanced shots when there was absolutely no reason to. He was attempting way too many shots that you normally wouldn't take outside a game of HORSE. His shot selection is a lot better now.

He’s improved in a lot of areas. It just seems than shooting is the one thing he’s really bad at. He should be able to improve his shooting but it’s really disappointing considering that was supposed to be one of his primary skills. Nerlens Noel and Alex Abrines have also both disappeared.

True about Abrines and Noel.


I think once things settle down, we'll get more out of them again. Felton is really horrible. Schröder is a much, much better PG for that 2nd unit.

Nerlens is playing like a guy with Ray Felton as his point guard. Nerlens will be great when Russ is back and Schroder is back with the bench unit

Because now we got our assess kicked by a mediocre team?

Which is somehow relevant?
