besides firing the coach

how about you stop being a bytch and just get try again next year
it was obvious months ago that OKC wasnt winning shyt
and its weird coming back on here seeing people talk about PG going to LA
yall really want that man to carry Lebron that bad?

cant even let teams grow anymore... they got a decent little squad... just need to make adjustments and get a better coach

weird to me seeing so many people give up year after year... build chemistry and make small tweaks
Westbrick is 30 years old my nikkas these aint little developing kids we talking about ..they are about to be out of their primes soon ..thats where the urgency comes from

By trading for Paul George? :wtf:

You don't remember how the entire league was circling OKC like vultures ready for Westbrook to be the next one to go?

The sobering reality is this: do you really believe in your heart that OKC could blow it all up and in 10 years be better than where they've been?
No their handling of James Harden was a supreme fukk up
They'll never be as good as that team was going to be

People saying trade westbrook?

Outside of the lakers...who would trade for him?

doubt lebron wants him. Lebron is a stats guy and playing with westbrook would be the last thing he would wanna do. Also, don't think okc is trading westbrook anytime soon. If anything, PG might wanna request a trade.

Hire a new coach

Pray for less injuries

Stop letting Russ be a facilitator when he is a natural scorer and should play the 2 his turnovers are costly

Incorporate Adams into the offense more

The team was never that good this year. PG was. The issue is simple. You got PG for two years.

That's all you really got other than Morris and Noel who might not be back next year.

Adams is massively overpaid as is Dennis. Russ signed the supermax so you know moving him will be next to impossible.

You in a major quarrel.

Now the money I'll bet says OKC will just do this again in 2019-2020 and blow it out then but is the delay really gonna benefit ya'll?

They were doing something right to be in the top 4 out west right up until PG hurt his shoulder before they started a 9 games in 14 days stretch that they struggled through because he missed a few games & wasn't right when he got back. Their wing rotation straight up died when Robes never made it back after a setback at the end of November & Abrines vanished (outside of 14 minutes in 2 random games) at the end of December.

They've had all of 2 passable wing players pretty much all year. One is a 20 year old second year player who showed improvement & one has had a bum shoulder since the end of February & banged it up again in the 2nd to last game of the season. Matthews went to the Pacers because he could start after the Dipo injury, Ellington went to the Pistons because his former agent is in the front office there, & the KIngs gave Brewer $2M for about 25 games. They never got wing help & it hurt them.

Grant had his best season, Ferg was more than solid & will get better, PG was having his best year until getting hurt, Schroder was fine until the break, & Adams was solid. Russy came in off a knee surgery & then sprained his ankle pretty badly, probably should have missed more time but didn't & struggled. The only other bench pieces were Morris who came in as a buyout after not playing for a while & Noel who was solid & I'll be bummed about losing.

They need to find some wings & a backup big (if they can't keep Noel) or 2, preferably some of those pickups can shoot, hope that Robes is still somewhat the same guy, & hope for better injury luck. The idea that they have to blow the whole thing up & start over is retarded despite how this series is turning out.

Find a way to move Roberson if at all possible, he's been so absent nikkas don't even acknowledge that the Thunder have been missing a starter, a game changing one for two playoff runs. If he and George were healthy 100%, I think this series would look much different.

Even healthy he's a liability, now he's just taking up cap space that could be spent on shooting, that's bad luck. Russ needs shooters around him, spacing for his drives and significantly less :snoop: from the perimeter when he does kick out.

Roberson may be done as an elite defender, making him worthless now.

ruptured his patellar tendon, then fukked up something in his knee while rehabbing. :francis:
