    The thunder aren't as bad as their record. I think they're 1-9 in games decided by 5 points or less

    Their big 3 is good together, they just struggle to close games and their defense regresses in the 4th for some reason
    imo they're built for the playoffs but they should move the ball more ,okc was last in the nba in passes per game last year dead last this year.

    russ needs to stop jacking so many 3's he is not a good shooter attack the rack and put pressure on the defense he's pretty much unstoppable when he does that(opens up easy oops/putbacks for adams too), and nobody is gonna consistently leave pg or melo wide open.

    Roberson can cut on the baseline and constantly move when teams leave him open he'll get easy buckets all game if he does that.they also should give abrines more tick he can catch n shoot

    I think okc will be straight in due time

    Or just habits, a few adjustments can fix some of their issues.They're actually effective when they have ball/player movement

    Cant argue with that. I think markkanen should be in the discussion though.

    And I don't see why the nets wont play jarrett allen at the very least 20 mins a game

    He can wind up averaging 6 and 8

    They are worried his body isnt strong enough and are afraid of injury so they got him on a minutes restriction.

    He not ready for that now. I like their approach with him. Maybe by the end of year once he gets more experience. Plus Zeller has been better than I thought he'd be.
