Bad loss. Had a chance to go into first. Now we go into an extremely difficult part of the schedule.

george isn't the dude making $200 mil and throwing showboat lobs all over the place and turning it over 10 times. then gets lost on defense for a three almost exactly how he lost e'twuan moore in chicago those years ago.

nobody on this board can say they don't think in the back of their head in those moments how russ is going to lose his man for a three. it happens constantly.

embarrassing.

Yep, really needed this one. Would've put us 10 games above .500 right when the schedule really toughens up.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

You realize George is on a Max contract letting a second year player get a free lane to the basket then missing a wide open shot?

This game showcases why we need to trade Adams for Beal if that’s an option on the table.

Denver lost to Charlotte and toronto lost to Brooklyn. You’re letting your emotions get the best of you.


denver is missing two starters.

stop making everything personal. if you don't like what i post, ignore it. spearsy23 is quite capable of deciding for himself whether he wants to reply to me.

who hits the wide open shooter? what the heck are you talking about?

Nothing, I'm talking about nothing. And I never made a thing personal itt

How about you don't tell me what to do either.

markennen hit a contested runner in the paint. that was a difficult shot and it was contested. he made a good move to turn into the paint, and adams helped appropriately.

russ completely lost his man watching the ball and his man gets a wide open three. that happens consistently in these situations. how many wide open threes have been buried by the guy russ has been supposed to be guarding to capture leads like this? i can think of 5 off the top of my head. this is a problem.

Not to mention that there’s not many guys who play the 5 who can make a move like that. That’s what makes Lauri valuable.

Markkanen hit a layup after a free lane to the basket because George gambled to try and blow up the dribble handoff that never happened.

Abrines is either 7-11 from or basically 0-11, there seems to be no in between.

Westbrook was literally contesting a guy driving to the rim. He was helping.

So George didn't know markkanen could do a spin move?
