Slick needs to acknowledge the Diallo assist. Just sayin.

Terrible decision by Westbrook to take that 3. Ugh.

Did you add the broken lobs to that number?


Noel is averaging 15.9 pts per 100 possessions this year. That’s more than he averaged last year in Dallas. I think that speaks more to Noel’s lack of offensive arsenal than anything. It’s funny watching people try and pick apart Schroder’s game.

So just to double check, you think schroder is good at getting others involved?

I think Schroder is good at playing within himself and if a player SHOULD be involved, yes, I think he will get them involved. I think he’s excellent at that. The problem is there’s no one on the 2U that SHOULD be involved other than Schroder. If the defense is giving something up, he will find it if he can.

I can’t stand Westbrook’s decision-making on defense. I just can’t understand it.

Why couldn't Steven continue to shoot FT's like he did in the playoff run in Cupcake's last season

Do you think this is a long-term issue with Russ?

I would be drawing up a Schroder 3 or a Grant lob. That’s probably the best look we are going to get. Defense is going to key in on George. Could draw up a Westbrook mid-range too, but I wouldn’t do that unless Westbrook asked for it.

Damn. Tried to get the Grant lob but it was cut off so we had to settle for the Westbrook corner 3.
