    Durant is just mind blowingly effficient. Not to mention the space he creates for others.

    You cherry picked one minor comment in my whole post and missed the context and then blamed me for "losing my $h1t". How very "internet" of you.

    Let me state it more clearly and give you less ammo to cherry pick one minor point.

    "This team, as constructed on November 2nd 2025, would be better with FVV particularly against tough defensive teams such as OKC. You need a guy that can help them get into their sets without getting rushed."

    Regarding who is bringing up the ball, it's not about stats and the # of turnovers. It's about the eye test of can they get into their sets. There are times it seems to take 8-10 seconds just to run their play only to get rushed and take a low-quality shot. That doesn't result in turn-over. It may result in a KD bailout shot or someone takes a brick and Adams gets the offensive rebound. That works against inferior teams. That didn't work against OKC or Detroit.

    But if you must, Amen had one turnover on a backcourt violation and nearly did it a second time in the same game. Last night, Tari stepped out of bounds twice. The number of times I see Reed pull up his dribble to make a pass drives me mad. I think Reed should have to put $1,000 into a jar every time he stops his dribble to make a pass.

    It's just all just a little clunky right now. But I agree with you, they are figuring it out. I'm not panicking. Just an observation. It might get better (or might not).

    The offense is Durantino.

    You've gotta give the team time before making judgments about missing Fred. I said prior to the season his loss would cost some early games. But we've got to wait a while to see things develop before making an informed judgment. It's very possible the offense will be better off with Fred as an assistant coach instead of playing.

    Everyone should keep an open mind. IMO, the early evidence is promising.

    Yea, that's literally what I said so I agree with you (or you agree with me). ;)

    My last sentence read: "It's just all just a little clunky right now. But I agree with you, they are figuring it out. I'm not panicking. Just an observation. It might get better (or might not)."
