I agree but at the same time I don’t want the players and organization to suddenly start treating him like an allstar. I’ve always like that Ferguson wasn’t too quick to look for his own shot. Developing patience on offense will make him a better player long term. I don’t want us to be too quick to turn him into a chucker.

Well if Ferguson can really shoot that 3 consistently, he will be great for us on his rookie salary.

I wasn't high on him and I'm still afraid he disappears comes playoff time, but so far he showed great improvement.

The way the nba decides these flagrant fouls is ridiculous. I don’t understand how a player can commit a foul or receive one and then review to have it overturned. Then if it’s not flagrant by the offensive player then the defender gets stuck with the foul.

We're the 16th best 3 point shooting team the past 10 games. If we maintain that and get back to our defense we'll be a legit threat.

Dennis Schroder is not a good basketball player.

Well today he's feasting!

That said, our defense doesn't look that good. Knicks are so challenged they shouldn't be allowed to break 90 points against us. Diallo is terrible.

I hope the experience Diallo is getting helps him next year make the same kind of progress that Ferguson has made. He bites on every pump fake right now.

Also, I don’t understand the Nader thing but give the guy credit.

He’s 4-11 and has more assists than turnovers.

Slick must know the reason why Westbrook isn't coming back to get his TD.

He's overplayed. He had dominant first half and Tfergs foul trouble wore him out in the second.
