You take a starter in any team and they're not as good. Chemistry still needs a lot of work We'll get there
The bench was good to start its just that when we iso to much and at the wrong time in the game they lose focus and their rhythm. If you notice OKC keeps everyone involved on offense while still having Paul George isolate. We need a little more of that and we need our coach to double the hot hand Like George and Schroder and make Russell Westbrick to make a tough shot
if you make harden the primary ballhandler, bring cp3 off the bench. We will be much more potent, their is no point of cp3 and harden sharing the floor with tucker and no 3 point stretch big or floor spacer. We were winning without paul, because no other guard got in hardens way. CP3 lacks burst, and the aggresiveness of rivers and gordon on offense. To play with harden you need to be in attack mode thats one of the things that killed Lin here. Harden can break down the defense and set guys up himself. He doesnt need another pass first pg on the floor with him. I say bring cp3 off the bench instead of having him out there in Hardens way. Harden couldnt get into rhythm tonight because cp3 was taking away possesions after harden hit 1 or 2 shots in a row.. that never happened when cp3 was out
It's the complete opposite. When this squad is up 20 i almost always expect a collapse. How embarrassing is that? I just finished watching the game on replay. Messaged my friend who's a Thunder fan at half time, "we've hit a hell of a lot of 3s for this lead, if they fall off in the second half things change" Imagine being a team where you need 50 point explosions from one player, or you need to hit 20 3s to win a game. That is not the sign of a good team.
