What is wrong with the Thunder?

[rezznor]

I know Durant has been in and out but still, I expected them to catch the Suns by now. what is going on in okc?

[Cocaine80s]

nothing goes on in okc

[Eric Cartman]

Iso.

[KNOW1EDGE]

What's wrong with them is Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook.

KD is gone as soon as he is up for free-agency.
He has no shot at winning a chip in OKC

[navy]

1) Durant injuries.
2) Scott Brooks.
3) Bad roster that has scrubs like Perkins and Robertson playing big minutes.
4) Reggie Jackson playing like shit because he knows he will be traded.
5) Dion Waiters was never good.
6) Westbrook playing like a retard.

In order.

[keep-itreal]

Iso all day.

[rezznor]

damnit thunder hurry up and catch the suns. i need them out of the playoff picture :mad:

[meat]

These mofos have sat put on a garbage roster for too long. KD and Westbrook can only drag all these guys up and down the court for so many years.

iso ball for days

Ibaka is overrated as hell. All he can do is block shots. As least he's added a 3 point shot this year. But he is very comfortably on a level or two below others PFs such as LMA, Millsap, Randolph, etc. This roster is literally Durant and Westbrook. Everyone else is dead weight. Adams has potential but he's not there yet.

Trade everyone(including the coach) and keep Steven Adams, KD, Westbrook.

Basically this.

I've gotta be honest, if I'm Westbrook there's no way I'm passing up shots, even bad ones, to pass to some of these scrubs. I'll watch Thunder games whenever they're nationally televised, and in every single game it seems like Perkins misses at least 2-3 easy buckets off of passes from Westbrook, and that's just one player. It reaches the point where a contested bad shot is a better option than giving someone like Perkins the ball.

selfish play

Scott brooks.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

1) Trading Harden
2) Coaching
3) Durant not playing to his standards from last year/being hurt.

Durant hasn't played to his standards from last year is solely because he's been hurt and in-and-out of the lineup. I know it's probably not what you mean, but Durant playing up to his standards from last year doesn't have anything to do with him regressing or just flatout sucking. He's had games where he's been every bit of 2014 Durant, he just hasn't had a long enough stretch of time to work himself back from the injuries and shake off the rust.

Anyway, without going into any kind of detail because it's f***ing 3:00 in the morning and I'm tired, OKC's main problems this year really all stem from a lack of cohesiveness. Whether that cohesiveness is due to injuries, new players and new starters, or a mid-season trade, the roster as a whole (when it's at its ideal form when fully healthy) has had very little time to gel and develop chemistry.

After that it's things like Serge Ibaka turning into a f***ing pansy and regressing big time; Scott Brooks being one of the worst coaches in the league and being a TERRIBLE fit for the older, more mature OKC roster; and Russell Westbrook not being as good as Kevin Durant, which was always pretty obvious...what I mean is that Westbrook, as great as he is, just isn't quite as capable of carrying a roster as Durant ala 2014.

All-in-all the whole season has been an enormous mess and extremely frustrating, and I've been drinking a lot of beer over the last few weeks to cope with it all in an unhealthy manner. I still think OKC will get their shit together at some point and go on a run where they win something like 20 out of 25 games but, at this point, I'm afraid it may be too late.

This ain't happening this year son, OKC roster not good enough and West too hard of a conference to be in.

Are you finally going to concede he's a average player?

[La Frescobaldi]

:oldlol: or that defense is defense and some guys don't?

[They Won]

I know Durant has been in and out but still, I expected them to catch the Suns by now. what is going on in okc?

Definitely surprising that they have yet to catch up.

[russwest0]
