    My theory is that westbrook isnt a quiter but his game is so ego centric that it causes players to quit around him.

    Dude doesnt bring out the best in players. This has gotta be humbling

    If george is smart, he‘d want to win next season and join the rockets. Will probably end up on the lakers tho.

    Yea most likely billy will be gone after this possibly, george and caramel are droppin their value and everyone is watching. They picked up players who modeled there games to be the main man.

    It looks miserable. I dont even think its fair to expect dudes to be inspired and into it.

    There is a lot of blame to go around (gm/coach/melo/george) but I do believe westbrook plays the most critical role in the teams identity being boring 1 on 1 ball. Durant pretty much said that ish in his interviews.

    Adams is an amazing center, easily top 10 in the league, maybe even top 5, arguably the best blue collar center in the league. As far as I can recall, he outperformed DJ, Boogie, Drummond, KAT at least once in their match ups, this time it's Gobert.

    Someone will pay george max money. If he doesnt get injured then he has nothing to worry about financially. Lakers are ready and willing IMO

    But according to the media he sucks because he doesn’t average 10+ rebounds. I wonder why that is tho. Media people are so blind and dumb...

    Donovan Mitchell is looking really impressive in this Jazz/OKC game.

    Looking forward to our next game.

    Idk man. I dont think we will be able to pay him the max he wants and we got a good thing going right now.

    He doesnt have the best reputation as a good teammate in the locker room. I would only shake it up for lebron at this rate.

    I think george and the lakers are a marriage waiting to happen

    Honestly? I wouldn’t trade Gordon for westbrook. I’m dead serious. Westbrook’s brain is incapable of adapting. Never seen a lower IQ „superstar“

    Presti is a great evaluator of talent but Westbrook seems to blow up all his acquisitions.

    Honestly he’s passing the ball a lot tonight. Caramel and george just stink when they aren’t holding the ball for 22 seconds

    Steven Adams can't miss a shot lately and Melo can't buy a shot lately. This OKC team is crazy!!!!
