    Hasheem Thabeet better watch his back. He is the most expendable member of the team and is thus a prime candidate to be sacrificed.

    Notice he said sacrifice "at some point."

    Point being point guard.

    He is talking about Russell Westbrook not being such a ballhog.

    Thabeet makes $7024 per minute of playing time. That's over double Lebron James' $3244.80 per minute of playing time. Sacrifice Thabeet.

    Agreed. Sounds like he is definitely talking about Westbrook.

    Would have been funnier if he said we need to run actual plays to get easier shots.

    Or I need to work on my post moves and give the team someone in the paint that can get an easy shot. (I love Serge but that just pisses me off when I see him camped out by the 3pt line. At least Dirk and Blake Griffin and Kevin Love can be given the ball in the paint and expected to go to work there at times as opposed to merely camping out by the 3pt line)

    the next steps for them are to:

    *start jackson. he's ready to be a starter and it moves westbrook to SG. better for all involved.

    *durant has to get a post game. like melo, lebron, kobe, jordan... even as a great perimeter scorer, teams in the playoffs will figure out how to make it hard for you to score on the perimeter. that's when you pick a spot, seal your man, and turnaround J all day.

    *ibaka beeds a post game too. it's great that he can hit jumpers, but you need post play in the playoffs.

    *lastly, brooks needs to figure out an offensive system that gets his role players involved. westbrook and durant can wing it and get to the WCF, but the role players aren't involved. I'd like to see them with a motion or flex offense.

    What gives? They've only got ONE lamb!

    Does this mean OKC won't have a player left by play-off time?...:eek:

    Hope the owner makes some sacrifice too, not just the players.

    He's talking about sacrificing Brooks' job.
