Too early & Donovan is too green this year.
Damn, just saw the 15pt loss to Boston at home... what's going on? This team was still battling with Scotty and just Westbrook...
College coach overrated? too early?

See any similarities?
Shoot first PGs settling for the outside jumper. RW did attack the paint, but he took have his shots from outside. Lollard is a good 3pt shooter, RW is serviceable, but neither of them should be taking this many.
KD is the engine and substance,,,Westbrick is only style,,,,,its why the Thunder cant win without KD and get beat in the 1st round last year,,,,tbh
Westcrook had a bad night and Steven Adams went Infranova![]()
So Donovan doesn't have the understanding yet to know to let Russell shoot every trip down the floor like Brooks did? I don't get the "green" part or how it applies to this situation in OKC.
Thunder missed the playoffs, bag.
Even better, got,,,
Yep, KD that good and Westbrook for all his talent, when given the liberty to do as he wants just doesn't play winning basketball.
Jesus, and you come here to argue about a game you don't even watch.
I hate basketball,,,,only gots love it,,,what you gonna say about that?,,,,,
Russ strikes me as a guy trying to push his brand. He hasn't gotten to the "anything to win a ring" stage in his career. He might be one of those guys who waits until he's crippled and old as before trying to find a team that's bound for glory. Until then "winning" to Russ is a financial game, developed on the stat sheet and in the media when his triple doubles are the highlight of the night.
Maybe he thinks anyone can win a ring if they don't mind a lesser role, but they don't win in life. Meanwhile you have people like CP3 never won and gets tons of praise. Same for Carmelo and Blake Griffin. Russ wants that, a ring.
Odd name for someone who hates basketball.
So do I watch basketball or do I not?,,,,,
You must watch something different if you saw the Thunder lose in the playoffs.
Imho, he does want to win but he thinks that to win he needs to do everything and it just doesn't work that way, you need to get folks involved, even if they up.
I don't believe that though. He knows what KD can do, yet he will chuck a brick before passing KD the ball. If he wanted to win, he would get KD involved. You and I don't even play yet we know that's what needs to happen. There's no way Russ knows less about that than we do. He's just too egotistical and greedy to share the ball or take a lesser role. Sure he has some ty teammates but so what, you either win as a team or you lose as a team, but Russ has proven time and again to himself an others that no one wins a series by themselves. It's never happened, never will.
Basically a better and more athletic Kobe.
'm old,,,have mercy,,,not my 1st mistake today,,,wont be my last,,,,but what is funny is people always point out when you are wrong,,,never when you are right,,,,
A better and more athletic Iverson I would say. Or a Kobe with less talent around.
I'll be the first to let you know when you're right.
Lets see how good you are,,,,Okafor over Towns for rook of the year,,,am I right?
They all have one thing in common: Brand. They push themselves as a brand. Their numbers matter to them, and to the companies they endorse. It's more lucrative for Russ to get a regular season MVP than for the Thunder to win a ring and Russ not get recognized.
I'm picking Russell for the Lakers.
His talent is undeniable, but a career 30% 3pt shooter has no business taking 10 threes in a game. It's exactly what the opposing team is hoping he'll do. Russ driving to the basket is scary, but Russ launching threes is a below average player.
