IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE KNICKS GAME TURN IT ON RIGHT NOW

aren't the Thunder almost last in rebounding?

anywho, i think the coach is playing Durant too many minutes.

 

They have too, the Thunder don't have any options outside Kevin Durant right now. The hype for WB is building, but the thing is Durant is the only elite scoring threat on that team, if he's gone the other team can just play zone and the Thunder's offense will go down the crapper. They really need to trade Greene for a legit low post threat, and get another scoring wing. If I were them I'd be looking to sign VOn Wafer to provide offense off the bench

 

Without KD playing about 40 minutes, the Thunder would not be 29-21.

The Thunder give up a huge number of offensive rebounds, especially at key times during games. Besides their poor offense, this is their Achilles heel. They need to add a decent shot blocking, rebounding C and their defense will be lights out. As it is, they are good at getting late-game stops but can't close it out with a rebound.

Regarding Wafer, the last thing the Thunder should do is add a knucklehead like him to their team. He doesn't fit the unselfish mentality of that squad at all. Any veteran player the Thunder add should be a steadying influence and Wafer is the exact opposite.

 

I think when the Thunder drafted James Harden, they wanted to make him an instant offense type of played off the bench for their team. But so far this season he has been sort of a let down for them IMO. I don't know if there were any better options at the 3rd pick in the lottery, but I hope Harden does not turn out to be a bust for being picked so high. It is still early to tell though.

Regarding their low post needs: A player like Brandon Haywood could be what they need. Also Antwan Jamison could be their second scorer they need. I think the Wizards will be looking to trade their core players and try to rebuild from scratch. And the Thunder have a lot of draft picks to make that happen.

 

Harden has to fix his jumper. When his jumper is on, he's dynamic.
