Amen struggled a bit, but 18, 5, 4 on 47% shooting isn't bad... He is going to have many worse games than that. Anyway, you are missing the forest through the trees. Sengun played out of his mind, Durant looked good, the team was scoring incredibly against what was, IIRC, the single best defense in the NBA last year. AND getting some (but not enough) important stops. It was a GOOD game. And you are not going to convince anyone reasonable otherwise, because it is objectively true by all measures but the final result. If we had one more point at the end of either regulation or the 1st overtime, that's how you would remember it, too, because we would have won.
Err... disregard my above post @Hemingway. As you probably figured out by now if you read it, I thought you were talking about the OKC game. But it looks like you were talking about the Detroit game. My bad.
It's flowing better but it's still not really flowing. Super effective, sure, but it's ugly as **** still more often than it's not. I'm actually ok with ugly ball when it's effective, we watched a one-man ugly offense for years. I do think this brand of nasty ugly ball has more potential to reach for a chip though by some distance.
Negative. We have some holes on this team that needs to be addressed, such as upgrading our point guard position. Amen plays best off ball...as much as Reed has improved, he's still limited on defense. We need to upgrade our point guard position
This is how our offense flows: Play #1: Give the ball to KD and get out of the way. Play #2: Give the ball to Sengun and get out of the way. Play #3: Give the ball to Amen and get out of the way. Play #0: No matter what, crash the offensive board because the shot is probably not going in.
Zero offensive flow in this game Honestly, I used to think Harden was bad in wasting shot clock to start a possession. KD does it all the time and I’ve no idea why. It’s like he just wants the defense to be completely set before he makes any decision.
