    exactly. I believe either trade him to a young team and let him grow like Cam or bench him. His timeline and development doesn’t fit with what they’re trying to do

    Wouldn’t mind one. Wouldn’t make a reactionary trade one game in either.

    Perhaps. But, that illustrates why he needs to spend a ton of time in the weight room getting his lower half stronger.

    KD in the 1/2 of the game was everything one could hope for. We didn’t really play well but had the lead. It was weird because in the past we would have been down by 8 points or more going into halftime. I believe KD ran out of gas —> age and conditioning may have gotten to him. Coach needs to work out the rotation to prevent overload.

    That’s the thing, we are up against the first apron and that really limits our options. Alot of the decent guards have been snatched up. I’d love a guy like Schroeder but there no way we can afford him.

    Good game overall.

    We needed Amen to finish things out. Hope he's back next game.

    Nobody is denying it but we can’t make any trade till December. By looking at Tari’s body language I think were definitely shopping for big game during December using Tari, Reed and 27 Nets swap, 27 PHX Swap for player like Derrick/Coby White

    Any info on Amen?

    sengun had a nice game

    pg play has to get better before playoffs


    We can’t rely too much on KD and Adams

    Tari was disappointing

    still in on Sheppard

    The biggest OKC weaknesses are FT, 3 pt Shooting and Fouling, Overall Offense

    They have 3 of the finest young scorers and depth but still letting other teams easily into the game.

    I’ve been calling for a playoff caliber back up PG since last season. When Fred blew his knee out, must of us were screaming for one and then we ended up with Okogie.

    We just played by far the best defensive team in the league. Everyone please bear that in mind before releasing your bladder.
