i dont know if its that they dont have enough creators. not everyone can be like GS and close games with 5 guys who can dribble, pass and shoot from 3, but i just dont get what they are trying to do on offense. it seems like they dont have a plan late in games. how is it they bring in a new coach and hes doing the same things as the last guy ? why not get a veteran coach ? donovan is still learning the nba game himself, so if is trying to implement things its going to take even longer to figure the roster out and what works best.

its hard to watch a team not living up to their potential. all the pieces are there, yet no one can put it together.
You right about GSW. What they have unique and cant really be duplicated. But, I look at OKC and whether its KD/Russ/Harden or KD/Russ/Martin or KD/Russ/Ibaka their playing style offensively doesn't change. High turnovers w/ mediocre assist #'s with stretches of strong ball-movement but nothing over a long period.

This is who they are. I dont think coaching is move the needle all that much. They can do better than what they're doing currently but there's a limit to how much ball-movement/free-flowing you have with this core. And thats fine. They dont have to be SA/GSW with the ball-movement to be an elite offense and be in contention for a chip.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
I'm not a rocket scientist, but I saw a big difference in offensive efficiency when Zbo was out and we adjusted our line up to Zbo being back.

Now I'm on my couch and can figure this out, but Dave Joeger can't. Or is he shook to bench Zbo for the betterment of the team :patrice:

Jigga with the Roley and the Vest
Donovan is a terrible coach or maybe Westbrook and Durant just don't work. This is exactly how it was last year, no plays being run. Durant has to do isos and shoot, can you imagine Durant under Warriors offense?? Getting all those screen and being free

Im really starting to think they just cant co exist
