I think Presti was smart in acquiring Thabeet. For a backup center he is a good guy to have around. It cost nothing. What was the risk? He just happened to hit a homerun with Adams.
A homerun? Doesn't Adams actually have to be a good player before calling him a home run?
Yes, they are three point shooters. They aren't elite three point guys but guys that can hit open shots.
The difference between 35% and 45% is 1 more make out of every 10 attempts. If you don't think that these guys can do that if they are wide open as opposed to contested then I don't think you played much basketball in your life.
In a weak ass draft they got a guy who has the highest contested rebound rate in the league. He is one of the most athletic centers in the league and will get more playing time with experience.
Just like you thought a guy like Harden wasn't anything special early on because his playing time was low the same will be for Adams. The Thunder develop players as well as any team in the league. Look at Jacksons improvement and Lambs. Heck even Perry Jones is worlds better than he was in his first year. You will see the same out of Adams and yet again not look good when talking about these players.
I did not think Harden was nothing special. I wanted Harden to go the Wizards that year.
What I said, which you refuse to acknowledge that he was a role player for that team. 20 mins a game, 10 points per game.
I get it, the Thunder are the best ever.

Maybe Antekoumpo.
Olynyk is going to be such a liability on defense that he won't have much value.
I don't think Adams is a good player yet. He was supposed to be raw and thats what he is but still playable.
And these numbers when a player is on and off the court is not the best measure of that individual player. Its a team game. But, you can continue to look at a statsheet and not have any other measure of evaulating a player and think you're right. Enjoy that. Every analyst/talking head that watches the Thunder all speak to how Adams is a young promising player. Now he just has to grow in Thunder U.

They are coasting to an extent but Wade isnt healthy.
Also, we all know Miami gets up for the big-time games, they dont coast the entire season.

Of course they wont, but, again, as we discussed last night, most of those were wide open 3's.
And KD was getting doubled/trapped every time he touched it. KD said as such in his postgame interview.
Whats he supposed to do?
It will even out a little whenever Russ returns.
Did you enjoy that ass whooping once Brooks realized that Perk was the problem? Miami is lucky RW wasn't healthy or else it would have been a whitewash. Reggie didn't play all that well. You put RW in that game and it might have been a 30 point victory even with spotting Miami an 18 point lead.

Holy crap. I love it.
The difference between a .200 hitter and a .300 hitter is 1 hit every 10 ABs. THERE'S HOPE FOR YOU YET DAN
The difference between a 55% and 65% comp% is 1 completion every 10 attempts. YOU'RE WICKED CLOSE TO PEYTON MANNING, KAEPERNICK AND STAFFORD. GENO SMITH YOU'LL BE MATT RYAN IN NO TIME.
The difference of one more our of 10 is often what separates great from bad or mediocre in sports percentage stats. To put it more eloquently
"Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at bats is 50 points, okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - a gorp... you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes... you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week... and you're in Yankee Stadium."

That trade is a random writers idea. Just the same as yours. It makes no sense. Felton is one of the most overrated players in the NBA and I'm starting to have my doubts about Shumpert. Chandlers contract is enourmous and he is an injury waiting to happen.
So again, why does it make sense to trade a top 5-10 player for that package? Oh yeah, it doesn't. Thunder were 21-4 with RW in the lineup and that is with a bogus loss against the Clippers.
21-4 with Westbrook. That is all.
The reason the Thunder smacked the Heat in their buidling is because Brooks realized that Perkins sucks against the heat....and most other teams.
