Once again brilliant play calling by billy D, couldn't get any of his 3 'alphas' open

Didn't know OKC was still choking these days. They blew a 23 point lead wow

PG is a good shooter. He isn't great at making game-winning shots but he can definitely make game-tying shots.

not even arguing against that...but clutch is clutch and he aint clutch...see current game for evidence

They needed a 3 to tie it and send it to overtime, though. PG can make those shots.

Westbrook/PG/Melo is just not a good match together.

OKC wouldve been better off not trading for Melo

Just wondering what numbers are you looking at?

The number of game winners on PGs resume. Let me adjust my comment. PG hasn’t/doesnt make them when it matters most. Is that better?

Who would you rather have take that shot...Melo, Westbrook or PG?

Westbrook should be embarrassed

He tries to get a cheap foul instead of trying to make a normal 3

His mentality is awful

We're 0-7 in close games this year. You expect that from a young, talented team but not from a talented, veteran-laden team.

There's some serious issues going on with this team. Yet again we fall apart after a flawless 1.5 quarters. This is, by far, the most frustrating Thunder season to date. I'm so disgusted with this crap.

honestly they just have 3 average scorers efficiency wise. PG is probably their most efficient and that's not saying much when you compare to the KD/Bron/kawhi etc. Their offense is also trash but if they had KD it would still be top 3 on the back of his efficiency.

Paul George seems like the most confused all star on offense i have ever seen

BeatDaCavs420 · Post #393 » by **BeatDaCavs420** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 3:38 am

Grant was playing solid and Billy yanked him for Melo

He has no control over this team and is just trying to please all the alphas

All those game winners on his resume...wait?

There is a difference between "not great in game winning situations" and "isn't a good shooter."

PG isn't clutch. Isn't a good shooter. Isn't blah blah blah..

Doesn't change the fact that those Melo iso crap is a cancer for any team!

He is great defensively but offensively he is a hit or miss. Great 3 point shooter though. Not elite at creating space for himself despite his athleticism.

OKC has all sorts of issues down the stretch from the usual Westbrook terrible hero shots to PG guarding Aldridge.
