Schroder just dribbled our the entire shot clock. Didn’t even look to pass the ball

Even if russ’ issues are all mental, the fact that he hasn’t overcome the free throw issues that began last year makes me skeptical he can come back from this.

He's been horrible as a point guard with the bench as of late. Somebody needs to remind him of his job as a backup point guard.

Andrew Wiggins really...he shoots under 40% from the field and 16ppg, has 24 on 9/15 after 3 quarters.

Schroeder is a -18 in 17 minutes.

Dennis, what are you doing? Your best to prevent any chance of being traded?
It's working.

berlioz · Post #47 » by **berlioz** » Mon Dec 24, 2018 3:01 am

To be fair, he's the only one who can create offense with this lineup.

Schroder is unquestionably one of my least favorite players to play for the thunder. Ever.

What the ever loving f**k happened? I checked the score about 20ish minutes ago. My wife and kids and I were driving around looking at Christmas lights. We were up by 10 with about 8-9 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. We got home and I checked the score one last time before turning it on...we were down by 6.

And of course as soon as I turn it on f***ing Dieng cathces an inbounds pass and flings up a desperation 3 to beat the shot clock and drains it to make it a 9 point game.

Now he just dribbled into the lane not looking to pass and turnover....

The T-Wolves backup center just caught an inbounds pass and flung up a contested 3 in order to beat the shot clock and drained it.

They were destined to win this game.

Nope...

nope.

Turning this one off.

I got home, checked the score, and our 10 point lead had turned into a 6 point deficit. I turn it on and, as soon as I do, I have to watch freakin' Gorgui Dieng catch and fling an off-balance, well-contested three to beat the shot clock and he drains it to make it a 9 point game.

And now it's grown into an 11 point deficit.

Nope. I'm out.

They just can't miss wtf.

Pillendreher · Post #54 » by **Pillendreher** » Mon Dec 24, 2018 3:07 am

Schröder might very well cost us this game. He has sucked the life out of this squad with his play. He's not even attempting to get something going. Every screen is just an excuse to get into isolation.

Diallo really is similar to grant when he got here.

berlioz · Post #56 » by **berlioz** » Mon Dec 24, 2018 3:12 am

Now he's airballing free throws...

NaturalThunder · Post #57 » by **NaturalThunder** » Mon Dec 24, 2018 3:12 am

I don't know why I till breathe a sigh of relief when Russ gets fouled. He misses at least one FT every time.

We're done. Really hope we win the Christmas Day game because losing to a sub-.500 T-Wolves team at home is a bad loss.

Post #58 » by **ThunderBolt** » Mon Dec 24, 2018 3:12 am

I wonder if russ has ever airballed a free throw before?

It's gotta be something that's, at the very least, yips related. He's shooting 50%-ish from the FT line over the last handful of games.

Russ gets no bend from his knees on his free throws. His technique is terrible.
