    No person can win with Westbrook.

    That but it's been a collective system with Morey's input.

    Not saying Morey has to go but he has to change his ways.

    First thing: Fire MDA

    Second thing: look at firing Morey

    Third thing: James needs to watch some Hakeem tape (passing out of a double team) and Reggie Miller tape (moving off-ball)

    The reputation has been built and it's not a good one.

    On a side note, why do we get stuck with these guys...Francis, McGrady, Harden.

    But he only fought through it this game. Come on that second quarter you could see him regrouping after the double and picking up the pace faster. And you could see he didn’t do that last game. He can still be very productive no matter the defense. Just has to be willing to play every possession.

    He is only good if Tillman and family doesn't interfere like they did with Westbrook. If Morey is not the final decision maker, he should move on to where he can be......because he will get blamed for this mess, which I firmly believe is NOT his roster.

    Nah mang. Philosophy is broken, you won't get much better players with the financial situation and no draft picks.

    Trades for sure.

    Westbrook hasn't given a crap since he came to the bubble. He's been too busy fighting with people instead of actually paying attention.

    His performances in the playoffs have been shocking. I like Westbrook, and I think he's given us great performances in the regular season..... but I would consider trading him. He's too hot-headed. He's too hot or cold on the court. He can't shoot consistently. He demands too much of the ball, which actually kills our main scoring because you're taking the ball away from Harden. I also think his passing IQ has been pretty poor for us. And we only went to small ball so it would benefit Westbrook. It's backfired completely because it doesn't work against the bigger teams like the Lakers.

    We should let Gordon go. We should consider trading Westbrook. Get rid of House. I would even consider letting Tucker go. Rivers isn't good enough. I wouldn't mind keeping Covington, Green and McLemore.

    Get a defensive center in. Get some steady 3pt shooters in. Harden will benefit way more with a big center out there.

    Peeps do not see that Morey's decision-making has declined too.

    He has gotten too arrogant and still hung on his Harden trade.

    It surely isn't a good situation to be in.

    We need a legit center (preferably, from Nigeria).

    Why? Covington is a much better player.

    The ones that are laughing are CP3 and OKC

    This was our year to try to win it and take advantage of Golden State’s absence, now they will be back next year probably even better then before. Along with a tough Lakers, Clippers, and an up and coming Mavs team.

    We really should have stuck with the 60+ team at least one more season. Now we will really drop behind the pecking order and it’s going to be tough for Daryl to fix this roster. I’m assuming D’Antoni is out along with Gordon, maybe even Covington and or PJ.
