    From a glass-half-full perspective, this was basically the ideal outcome. Oladipo played well enough to boost his trade value, and in the second half he really turned it up which was great to see. Ben Mclemore showed he can still stroke the 3-pointer. Tucker already has value, and we needed the other two to get some air time.

    The deadline is coming up fast, and I think afterwards we'll see the 'youth movement' a lot of people are clamoring for - KPJ. Wood, Martin Jr., Tate, Patton, etc. all seeing heavy minutes.

    That healthy Wall has led this team to 13 straight losses. Maybe we are better off if he doesn't play.

    He's still untradeable...don't kid yourself.

    I get the feeling that Silas is a stud with X’s and O’s, strategy, gameplan, etc., but Wall and Oladipo just tune him out and do what they want.

    Silas is too soft to enforce any kind of accountability. And it doesn’t help that we have to give all these minutes to our vets for trade value.

    Silas' HC ability is in question, no doubt. I wasn't a huge fan of hiring him to begin with, but he's had one of the toughest situations of any new HC in history. He's probably not getting fired anytime soon so we just gotta hope it works out.

    Wall legitimately doesn’t even try to run a 2 man game with Patton.

    Doesn’t call for a screen. Just walks the ball up the court, dibbles between his legs for 12 seconds, and crashes to the rim.

    Look how Harden made off the street Faried look



    ****, even garbage ass Westbrook could slip into a 10-15 assist game.

    oh…c'mon, that sounds so bad, maybe just b/c the credit coming from Adam Silver, who could deem BKL as a golden egg this season.

    Hes
    He used to catch and shoot , now he catches, repositions, passes and never sees ball again.

    BenMac started doing that and it’s what threw his rhythm off. Catch reposition and shoot and he was missing like crazy. Tonight - he went right up

    They catch the ball . . .. . to get Wall or Dipo out of a bad situation
    then give it back to them . . .
    Like they been told to not shoot.

    When BMac doesn't hesitate he swishes the shots

    Lol. Did he do that tonight?

    Must admit I missed the 1st Quarter tonight and tuned out many 3 Q's during these recent blastings. But I've honestly only seen ~2/game this season.

    Not that he doesn't deserve one but what does an appreciation video for a coach look like? Highlights of all his timely timeouts?

    Imagine being a coach in a place for four years and having a wining percentage close to 70 percent and the lowest playoffs finish was the second round not even getting a fleeting mention. It’s these things that give Tillman a bad name.

    I bet Morey will get the same treatment on his return
