    Should have kept Paul, shouldn't have extended Gordon, should have signed a legit backup center to play D and rebound who is young and healthy enough to play real minutes every night. Should have traded our picks with Shump in a S&T and used our full MLE on a couple of 3/4's with size and D like Jerami Grant/Aminu/Jamychal Green etc

    Should have signed a really strong assistant coach to focus on defense.

    But instead, we did what we did and this team has played some of the worst basketball I've seen since that 2015-16 season with Howard... and even then I wouldn't be surprised if this team does worse then that team, failing to hit .500 and make the playoffs.

    Fr, they’re just waiting for our downfall to pile on. Talk about fake ass, ignorant fans.

    Every season we start this poorly, always ends up with a 2nd round exit at the best.

    Last year, people said the same thing "let's wait till 1/4 of the season has passed before we make judgement" and if Harden hadn't averaged 36ppg and us getting lucky in the buy-out market, we would've been fighting for an 8th seed.

    This year is the repeat of last year and it will end in another early playoff exit again and the stans here will call it a successful season.

    The defense is a work in progress . Mostly its just an attitude problem.

    The guys are not playing for each other. You cant ball watch and give up with putting a hand up. It is interesting that MDA will put Clemons in when the team is down 40

    What are these offensive possessions? No one moving and Westbrook just taking a pull up contested 3 pt jumper. Why?

    I dont know man, honestly they need to erase the board slate clean from this, and start running good plays. This MDA, Crap high usuage shots, you see how it plays out sometimes, its not gonna always work. It to me is wasting the potential.

    You can't tell me you can't run some good plays. Hell they got 2 of the best drive 2 the basket players in the league. And Tbh Westbrook is a great 2pt shooter. This is starting to be real crap bro.

    Nothing wrong with the system. But, you have to have players that fit the system.

    We don't have the personnel to play the proper defense. Our pg can only drive to the hole. We can't win when 2 out of our starters can't shoot from outside. Honestly if Tillman is responsible for picking up Westbrook he should fire himself. Trade Clint or trade Westbrick. I knew this was coming.

    I don’t agree with the sky is falling folks but if it really collapsed I’d lol at Tillman a little bit.

    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.

    It's the only way to be sure.

    That, or maybe don't overreact too much to the first few weeks of the season. Either works for me.

    Disagree that Morey is a brilliant GM...he doesn't have the basic sense that you cannot win title with 6'4" SF and PF..................that's the truth...curse me if you want to but the fact remains.........

    I’m so tired of watching harden dribble for 20 seconds then jacks up a horrible contested 3 or passes to a teammate giving them only .6 seconds to shoot. So frustrating to watch !!!
