Bucks going off in the 1st quarter :oldlol:

[KDthunderup]

Jeeze we suck. Been playing like a bottom seed in the East without Westbrook

[PAOK]

both teams have combined for an impressive 9/40 FG.. brickfest

[BlazerRed]

This game ****ing sucks :roll: Brick city. We want Westbrook!

[KDthunderup]

This game ****ing sucks :roll: Brick city. We want Westbrook!
funny how he is notoriously known for bricks around here but this team couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat without him.

[BlazerRed]

funny how he is notoriously known for bricks around here but this team couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat without him.

True that, the amount of open shots he creates is ridiculous.

[BlazerRed]

Bucks with 6 point with 1:30 left in the quarter :roll:

[KDthunderup]

Bucks with 6 point with 1:30 left in the quarter :roll:
Score is 17-24 with 8:10 left in the 2nd

[BlazerRed]

Yeah I'm a little behind, watching on league pass. Should catch up soon with skipping the ad breaks/free-throws.

[PAOK]

KD 0/8 :biggums:

[BlazerRed]

KD 0/8 :biggums:
His shooting has been pretty horrible overall the last few games besides that last quarter against Minny.

[BlazerRed]

Lamb has been horrible with his shooting lately too.. and Thabo hasn't been good all year.

[KDthunderup]

Adams would have to be the biggest pest in the NBA. I have never seen someone get under some many players skins and draw so many flagrant fouls

[Illuminati]

Neither Durant or LeBron have been capitalizing on the MVP race. Durant is still slightly ahead when he could've been ahead by a large margin.

[BlazerRed]

Adams would have to be the biggest pest in the NBA. I have never seen someone get under some many players skins and draw so many flagrant fouls

Just saw that now so I am just about caught up to the live play now.

[Trollsmasher]

What is it about Adams? I never see him do anything worthy of registering, yet players still throw flagrants on him:lol

[BlazerRed]

Neither Durant or LeBron have been capitalizing on the MVP race. Durant is still slightly ahead when he could've been ahead by a large margin.
Honestly who cares about the MVP at this point, still 2/3 of the season to go.

[BlazerRed]

What is it about Adams? I never see him do anything worthy of registering, yet players still throw flagrants on him:lol
He's a physical player.. and he's white.

[BlazerRed]

That's so ****ing weak though.. yeah it's a flagrant but you don't kick them out of the game for that.

[Fudge]

Kendrick Perkins.

[BlazerRed]

Why does anyone even pass the ball to Perkins? I laughed hard at him kicking the ball like a soccer ball earlier.

[KDthunderup]

Perkins probably throws hissy fits in the locker room if he doesnt get a few touches a game

[Fudge]

What is it about Adams? I never see him do anything worthy of registering, yet players still throw flagrants on him:lol
He trolls the fck out of opposing big men. Throws little elbows here and there, and does it until the player retaliates. Love this kid.

[BlazerRed]

At what point does Thabo become a liability to this team? He's been horrible this year.

[Fudge]

Is there a more inconsistent player than Thabo? Dude is washed up at this point in his career.

[BlazerRed]

Is there a more inconsistent player than Thabo? Dude is washed up at this point in his career.
There's a point where even his defense doesn't make up for his lack of offense, like Perkins, and I think he's past that this year. All he needs to do is hit the open shots from the corner but he's been terrible all year shooting the three.

[KDthunderup]

Get the feeling Presti will try and deal thabo before the deadline

[Fudge]

Thabo is sooooooooo garb.

[BlazerRed]

Going to be interesting to see what the Thunder do now they've realized just how average their team is with just Westbrook out. They clearly need to make a trade.

[KDthunderup]

[Fudge]

Fck Reggie. N!ggas best suited for a bench role. Looking like one of them aliens from AVP and shit.

[BlazerRed]

Lol!

[BlazerRed]

His defense has been average as well
Yep certainly not where he's been at in the past. The Thunder need to move him on. Maybe package him with the Dallas pick and PJIII.

[Le Shaqtus]

OKC is really just a shit team being carried by Durant and Westbrook.

[Fudge]

I honestly wonder what these fools work on during practices and pregame shoot around, mainly Serge. Fckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[KDthunderup]

Yep certainly not where he's been at in the past. The Thunder need to move him on. Maybe package him with the Dallas pick and PJIII.
Yeah I think making any move could benefit this team, need to shake things up and bring in a solid wing vet

[BlazerRed]

OKC is really just a shit team being carried by Durant and Westbrook.

Yep I think this has been made pretty clear now. They fit well when the team is full, but with Westbrook they go to shit. All these players who were playing well with Westbrook in have been rubbish since he's been gone, and were just feeding off open lanes and open shots created by having Westbrook and Durant on the floor.

That being said, Lamb has been missing a bunch of shots he'd usually make. He's in a slump shooting wise.. he should pick up again.

It's all Brooks. The guy is Mike Browning this offense.

[BlazerRed]

It's that too. See what Pop does with the average Spurs bench? Guy is a genius.

[KDthunderup]

I think its a bit of both, these players aren't useless and a lot of them are just going through shooting slumps, but without Westbrook and Brooks chitty offense they aren't obviously getting some of the easier shots they were getting and that affects the rest of their game since their confidence is down.

Lamb is their only player the relieves the offensive load, minus Reggie but he's not a starter quality PG.

Yeah, obviously Lamb is in a shooting slump.. and Reggie is clearly just not ready to be a starter in the NBA. He's the perfect bench spark but he doesn't fit this role. Pair that with a terrible offensive scheme (which relies on having star players ISO), a useless Kendrick Perkins and a less-so but still nearly useless Thabo out there, it's easy to see why the Thunder have been struggling.

That and in the fourth the defenses tighten up, so Durant is getting hammered and there's no second scoring option at all. This is why Durant has been struggling a lot in the fourth lately.. it's not even his fault, just a bad team make-up and coaching.

Exactly, Durant is their only go to scorer. Who's he going to defer to, Perkins? Ibaka? They have to be wide open for 5 seconds for them to make a shot.

[BlazerRed]

Yeah, Reggie is pretty much the only other guy who can half create a shot, and even he has struggled hard. He can't get to the line like Westbrook does to get easy points either.

[Fudge]

Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[KDthunderup]

Getting done by Milwaukee, holy sheet

[BlazerRed]

LMFAO Durant has given Perkins like 3-4 good passes under the basket tonight and Perkins has ****ed up all of them :facepalm

[BlazerRed]

How many more games till all-star weekend? This could get ugly for the Thunder.

[LONGTIME]

Maybe OKC will make a move if they keep losing... maybe...

[BlazerRed]

Maybe OKC will make a move if they keep losing... maybe...
You would think so, but their FO has proven pretty stubborn.

[Fudge]

LOL the hell was that Serge? ***** is so fcking stupid sometimes.

[BlazerRed]

LOL the hell was that Serge? ***** is so fcking stupid sometimes.

I actually kind of like it. You could just put your head down after something like that but he just gives his teammate a high five and pumps himself up instead. Stays positive.

[Fudge]

Fck this team is so trash outside of a few players. The shittyness is too much!!!!!!!!!

[KDthunderup]

We need to make a trade for Afflalo

[Element]

KD 18 FTA over past two games :lol

On pace to do it again. Truly da Gawd :bowdown:

[BlazerRed]

Fck this team is so trash outside of a few players. The shittyness is too much!!!!!!!!!

You know, I hate to say it, but with Brooks and his shitty coahing, and they way this team is built, without Westbrook they're a .500 team. Probably JUST make the playoffs if Westbrook was out all season. Maybe.

[BlazerRed]

We need to make a trade for Afflalo

You think the FO has actually tried and had it denied? Surely there's a reason we haven't heard about them trying.

[Le Shaqtus]

We need to make a trade for Afflalo

Give us Lamb and it's a deal :pimp:

[Fudge]

Give us Lamb and it's a deal :pimp:
Done. Take Thabo too. And Perk, if you guys don't mind.

[BlazerRed]

Done. Take Thabo too. And Perk, if you guys don't mind.
Hahaha. I think Thabo/Lamb COULD work? Don't know if Orlando FO would take it though. No way they take Perk :lol Still though, OKC trades Lamb and they lose much needed bench scoring. Ideally you want to trade PJIII instead but he's not worth as much.. that's why you trade him with the Dallas pick.

[JohnFreeman]

OKC has to win at home against the Bucks

[Fudge]

Dat switch. TURNIP!!!!

[BlazerRed]

Nice pass by Thabo. Great hustle on the rebound and putback from Ibaka before that too.

[KDthunderup]

Give us Lamb and it's a deal :pimp:
I'd package Lamb + Thabo or Thabo + PJ3 + Dallas 1st for Afflalo

[BlazerRed]

I'd package Lamb + Thabo or Thabo + PJ3 + Dallas 1st for Afflalo

From the OKC perspective you'd really rather go the second deal. As I said, Lamb will develop into a nice, cheap bench scoring option which OKC really needs. The pick is good, but they can't afford to hold onto it.. they should be trying to win now.

[LONGTIME]

I haven't watched any of this game, but Reggie just has 2 pts wtf?

[Le Shaqtus]

Done. Take Thabo too. And Perk, if you guys don't mind.

Oh Hell no if you think we're taking Perk :oldlol:

You a busta

Imo Lamb's ceiling is probably Afflalo possibly a bit higher, if we can get what Lamb would probably be like in a couple of years now that would go a long way in the playoffs

[BlazerRed]

22-4-4 for KD. 30-5-5 tonight?

[Fudge]

Kelvin Durand!!!!! Let's get that 30/5/5, bud!

[Fudge]

22-4-4 for KD. 30-5-5 tonight?
24/5/4 I think.

We always post the same shit at the same damn time. At the same damn time.

[BlazerRed]

Imo Lamb's ceiling is probably Afflalo possibly a bit higher, if we can get what Lamb would probably be like in a couple of years now that would go a long way in the playoffs
Definitely.. Afflalo would make OKC MUCH more dangerous. If they can get him while holding onto Lamb as well this team is set and as long as Westbrook stays healthy, will have a shots at titles the next 5 years (assuming both Durant and Westbrook stick around).

[Natureland]

Thunder actually looking like a competent basketball team with this lineup. Which of course means Brooks will have Perk, Thabo, and Fisher all on the floor to close. :lol

[Fudge]

Who the hell is that?

[JohnFreeman]

I thought Durant would bring his friend Beasley for a non guaranteed contract.

[KDthunderup]

22-4-4 for KD. 30-5-5 tonight?
He will need to get it if we are heading towards a win

[BlazerRed]

Durant should have 7-8 assists if it weren't for Perk blowing easy buckets under the basket.

[Fudge]

Ooooooo so close.

[DuMa]

Giannis just swatted Durant's shot

[BlazerRed]

Durant might not get that last assist.. getting a large lead now. Might not see much/any playing time the last.

[KDthunderup]

Love to see Brooks blow this lead

[KDthunderup]

here we go

[BlazerRed]

lol.

[BlazerRed]

Lamb giving effort doe.. looking more confident.

[KDthunderup]

Get Fish and PJ3 out for ffs

[KDthunderup]

Someone bump Pauks 30-5-5 thread

[cos88]

derek fisher should be signed on a bigger/longer contract. leadership/defense and playmaking are better than what he is paid.

[BlazerRed]

Someone bump Pauks 30-5-5 thread

But but but he shot free-throws!!

[BlazerRed]

Lamb with 17, Ibaka 17-17.. wut?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Thabo 3-12 LMAO at nikkas who think this **** is better than Ray or Battier

[Fudge]

Durand having babies with dat stat sheet.

33/8/6 doooooooe

[BlazerRed]

Durand having babies with dat stat sheet.

33/8/6 doooooooe

I would wine it, dine it and **** it on the first date :rockon:

[JohnFreeman]

17 free throws for Durant? Jesus.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Lamb with 17, Ibaka 17-17.. wut?
Ibakas a different player on the road. @ home he balls on the road his pussea shrivels up. A semi-reliable role player is what he is

[Fudge]

This Antetneidosppsjdjpo guy has a VERY similar build as Durant. Kinda weird.

[Fudge]

17 free throws for Durant? Jesus.
You really like watching Durant play, eh?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

KD just statpadding for a trip dub now:roll: :roll: :roll: dont do em like dat:roll:

[Fudge]

33/10/7

Goooodness gracious.

[fragokota]

This Antetneidosppsjdjpo guy has a VERY similar build as Durant. Kinda weird.

Indeed. Just call him Giannis and be done eith it.At his peak this guy will be Kirilenko 2.0

[All Net]

Durant really becoming a well rounded player big time now...
