The two years after the Harden trade the Thunder won greater than 70% of their games. How many teams can say that?

He has no rings to show for having KD/RW/Harden and Ibaka. Not getting one this year either

This roster is a horrible supporting cast to KD, I don't get how you don't see this.

GALLLLLLLLLLOWAY

So winning 70% of your games and only losing in the playoffs because of poorly timed injuries is your case?

Again, this years team has been dreadful and this is hte worst loss in the last 5 years. No excuse for this and the blame starts with Westbrook IMO.

So surrounding KD with gunners was a good idea? You're like 27th in APG...Presti has done a HORRIBLE job post Harden era.

For once i agree, the roster is way too flawed.

KD/Russ/Ibaka is a good top 3 but after that its meh.

You have 2 top 10 players + Serge, you should be winning 60-70% of your games. Regular season in the NBA means nothing, you know this. The roster sucks outside of KD - RW - Serge.
 
BRule is right, they have too many gunners, shoot-first types.

They need more glue type of players.

Not having KD doesnt help but they still should be able to beat the damn Knicks without him.

Arent making the playoffs, even if they somehow did, GS would kill them. Better to get a higher draft pick, not that it will result in much.
 
I'm so fed up with Westbrook right now. I don't even know what to say. Great individual player but at this point he is a bigger and slightly better version of Iverson.

WHO TOLD YOU THIS 4 YEARS AGO??? WHO

Thats what he was four years ago and I didn't disagree with you. I believe in the fact that he would improve (which he has) but also learn how to play a better brand of basketball.
 
To be fair, with KD out, not like they have a choice.

But yes, he still goes hero-Russ way, way, way too much.
 
With no KD who do you want him passing to? Ibaka is the only person I'd pass to if I was Russ. Waiters is a joke, Jackson has turned into Waiters since the trade. Morrow can't hit anything, PJ3 shouldn't be playing, Adams and Perk aren't relevant on O.

If KD is out, Russ and Ibaka should take every shot because the roster is a joke outside of them.

Waiters is definitely not someone that you would pass it to on the wings.

It just really hurts man...Westbrook has let me down. THe team did better last year with a worse team with Jackson running the point. KD went crazy but thats because RJ let him.

Ultimately, what I think needs to happen now is insert RJ into the starting lineup and move RW to the 2. Tell him to focus on defense/rebounding/cutting and let KD/RJ be the primary ball handlers. Something drastic needs to happen or else the Thunder will be in the lottery. Hopefully they will get lucky and get a top pick if thats the case which will make it easier to keep KD. But as it stands right now there is no way I'm choosing OKC over Washington if I'm KD.

Glad you finally listened to me, only 4 years later but I'll take it.

BUT PRESTI DA GAWD!

I still believe in the talent on the roster but Brooks likes to punish everyone but RW on the team. Lamb has showed many flashes of good play but he gets benched if he loses his man on defense. Perry Jones showed somehting this year but someone Perk gets minutes over him.

And then there is RW who just refuses to change his style for the betterment of the team. Its just a disaster right now.
 
Report out today says Durant loves Melo and is eyeing the Knicks for 2016. "He believes it would work in NY with ️he and Melo" The Knicks have as good a chance as OKC or the Wizards.
