    I spent the game in a hot springs mud bath. Many thanks to @Hank McDowell for betting us to victory!

    And I bet all 3 could’ve gotten us close to the 40 & 52 wins the past two years with the addition of FVV, Dillon, and Adams and our young guys natural progression but we glaze Ime like we owe him the franchise for it. Our players would probably be more developed thought with those three. Probably not JB though lol I hated him

    It's fine to say Jabari can't make that pass, or to say we always fail to make such passes on end plays, but what's wrong with me saying that pass can be made, and a pick for Amen is not off script. I don't mean to disagree with you. I'm just analyzing the play and our ability to threaten all the options.

    couple points...Jabari isn't being guarded on the inbounds. He has a clear view of everything. Durant could definitely set a better screen for Amen, and Jabari isn't even looking nor has the ball up to make the pass. Jabari only raises the ball once Durant looks at him. lulz​

    At this point, you pass. It's not risky, if you are ready.

    The other thing this does is it makes future teams worry about other things than just Durant.

    What a game. But the offense needs work. This is unacceptable offense esp when we were up 7

    Ime deserves criticism for the stagnant ugly offense but roster construction plays a huge part too. The roster is just clunky and not versatile offensively. In a way, Sengun/KD iso centric style is our best option. Obviously we could run more stuff though. Like Fred said "our process is **** right now".

    Did anyone come to a conclusion why Holliday is getting minutes out there? Zero offense and defense and getting same or close minutes to reed

    It's the NBA, no lead is absolutely safe. Win is a win!
