    I think it's gonna work well against some teams and really really poorly against others.

    Lou and Eric are just such shitty defenders 90% of the time it's gonna be tough for that unit to be positive unless someone is on fire.

    Eric hasn't played good ball since January and Lou doesn't have chemistry with that unit .

    I think they should start by taking good shots...this should help. Imo their shot selection is not good enough. I kinda expect this from Lou, not from Gordon though, Lou always had the habit to take bad shots.

    Good thing OKC doesn't have towns.

    Teams that are uber athletic have given us fits this year.

    Our skill guys just aren't big or athletic enough to stop them from gettin to the hole

    Min is just gigantic in comparison when we play that 3 guard with Ariza at the 4 ... Not to mention they have the athletic advantage at the C position ... Frankly at every position outside of the 4 .

    You have to be hitting 3's otherwise that type of athletic advantage will destroy you .

    The good thing is that ninny is probably the most athletic team in the league. Some teams have similar athletes at some positions, but no one has 1-5 like MIn . Generally their lack of skill makes up for it .

    I hope the last few weeks has been a fluke, because I don't want to concede that Lou and EG can't play together.

    I really wish we would bench Bev when they are in the game. Let Lou/Gordon handle the rock.
