I hope so, but they'll prolly roll off a 10 game winning streak to overtake the Spurs, Pelicans, Suns, and Clippers soon...
2nd straight 20-point loss, tbh..losing to the Warriors is one thing, but losing by 20 to a terrible Kings team is worrisome..
Westbrook has been horrendous for a week or so, he looks worn down from carrying the team without Durant, and Dominos doesn't look anywhere near himself since returning, tbh..
Their antiquated, 90s-style offense is more troublesome with Westbrook/Durant not playing at an elite level, other teams are completely exploiting it..
Is it implosion time? Brooks gets fired before the end of the month?
I hope so, but they'll prolly roll off a 10 game winning streak to overtake the Spurs, Pelicans, Suns, and Clippers soon...
They look really awful, tbh..
Westbrook looks tired, and Dominos doesn't look like himself..Reggie Jackson looks really bad this season, his trade is inevitable..
Other than Ibaka, the rest of the roster is pretty mediocre, of course..
More than ever, when Durant and Westbrook aren't playing like top 3-5 players, the team can't do anything..this is probably the best time to finally fire Brooks and try to salvage their season IMO(you won't find a better coach at this point, but you would hope it would spark the team)..
The Reggie Jackson trade talk shook them up a bit, got them feeling mild. They'll come around. I have a hard time believing the league just changed overnight.
Brooks should be canned tbh he as always been a ty coach though
Is Perry Jones still injured? I liked det dude. traded for him in 2k as backup for Whi![]()
its not a harlem or midnightpulp thread until somebody says the word antiquated to describe an offense![]()
The best part is they'll prolly wait and hope Waiters magically elevates them into a new gear. I hope they give it until March before firing Brooks. Again though, I expect a a winning streak to start up at any time followed by another injury.
Waiters looked really bad, as expected..
Inserting Waiters in a second unit with Reggie Jackson in the most ISO-oriented offense in the league is a great idea..
And it's not a Philo thread until Philo shows up and argues about the color of bread.
Westbrook just torpedoing the team with his chucking. 3-17.
Oh hey, nothing like a pullup 3 with 16 on the shot clock when you're 3-17 for the game. Westbrook might have the lowest IQ of any star in the NBA.
That's only 17 shots. That's not a lot of shots.
14 is a lot of misses.![]()
Westbrook's amount of shots was fine, tbh, and it's tough to blame him when they literally don't have a system and Durant is playing very passively..
Only problem I have with Westbrook is that he isn't attacking the rim anymore, but IMO, it's entirely due to fatigue from his huge stretch of carrying OKC earlier..they need to do what Golden State did, it's overdue..
Not many shot attempts. They go or they don't.
Fire the coach and hire Steve Kerr?
I think they rushed the comeback from their injuries... they're also badly missing a solid perimeter defender, like what they had on Thabo. Now Westbrook is probably that guy, but he already has to spend a lot of energy on offense to be chasing guys around on defense... I still don't know if WB and KD will last the whole season without hurting again, considering the amount of energy they're spending out there...
Pullup threes from a sprint with 16 on the shot clock? Yeah, most of those won't go.
I've been told that chucking and volume are unrelated. He could very well be chucking with only 17 FGA
pretty sure the centerpiece was waived![]()
This.
I was watching gsw okc game and Durant looked to favor one leg while running. I Don't think he's fully recovered
You think?
Should have kept Harden.
