They won't do drastic changes, even though they should take this time to really re-tool around Russ and KD, like Riley did when they lost to the Pistons in 05. Their frontcourt is going to be problematic moving forward, the fact Miami could still play small against them despite the size advantage says enough.

If they don't make any big changes, try and make a run at KG or Steve Nash, I know you love Westbrook but taking him off the ball at times and having a deadly shooter like Nash would do wonders for your offense. KG for some kind of reliable frontcourt scoring and finishing around the rim.


Buy a pick in the draft to take Sullinger if he drops past 15.

nash and kg are both perfect additions to this squad. very keen observation my brother

man put kurt thomas on this squad instead of perk and its a totally different series...they just need another big who can hold his own defensively and has a pulse on offense. perkins is one of the worst offense starting centers in the league, probably bottom 3

i dont understand why westbrook/harden/thabo/durant/ibaka wasnt the lineup. why play perkins? im still confused

What the fukk are we gonna do about Harden? How does someone just absolutely disappear for a whole series like that? Is that how he's going to continue to play? Like...what do ya'll make out of that shyt?

The Thunder are set, they'll be monsters and rattle off a couple of 'ships in a row easily. They need to get rid of Perk though, and get a better center.

trade harden for a lotto pick. rumors of harden to the bobcats for the 2nd pick or harden for picks 6/11. id prefer picks 6/11....add a starting shooting guard and then another 3 or 4.

AMNESTY KENDRICK "THE CARCINOGEN" PERKINS

Fire scott brooks

i truly believe okc would have won this series if perkins didnt play. spoelstra was smart enough to realize that bums like joel anthony are useless. perkins is just as bad as anthony on offense, but perkins doesnt block shots.

:huhldup: he's part of our future.... either perkins or ibaka one of them has to fukking go one of them.. we need a big that can make the offense much easier

I think he's more dominant on the ball.. i think if we had maynor he would have been able to play off the ball more where he also is deadly.. btw harden is fukking terrible off the ball :wtf:

Im not sure why Brooks didn't atleast try to go small, it really reminded me of Mike Brown in Cleveland and how stubborn he would be with lineups that clearly weren't working. A good coach would throw something different out there, hell even Spoelstra tried different lineups. It seems like he thought he could use size against the Heat even though it was obvious their bigs couldn't score in the paint on their own.

Perkins used to be able to finish in the paint, that knee injury just took all of his lift.

They just need someone that can get them some buckets here and there around the rim. I am mad that Dwight won't sign off on joining that team, that Russ/KD/Dwight trio would be ridiculous.

find someway to get kg down in ofc, at least he could defend the post and score unlike perkins.

they could use his leadership.

Plenty of guys can score with durant and westbrook getting all the attention from defense imo

Id prefer a combo of Jeremy lamb/sullinger/Perry Jones/henson, etc. over harden

Ibaka needs to stay imo, too much potential for me to give up on
