Okc offense is far too stagnant and isolaion oriented for the talent they have. Similar to goldenstate. He needs to go.

who needs to go? lol the team?

common OKC you can do it
all OKC needs is a little more depth and a bit of offense touch

Scott Brooks needs to go. The offense is mostly KD and Westbrook isos.

Ibaka is day to day now might be available for game 3. I doubt he'll contribute much they're probably rushing him back. If he is healthy then its a huge boost for OKC

Rest assured; you are not alone.

I realize there's been a lot of "blame the coach" lately... but really, he's simply not doing well with the 'tools' at his disposal.

It also makes me wonder sometimes if they have practiced anything on offense besides:
  • Half Court: "iso iso iso"
  • Open Court: "Russell, get the ball and run as hard as you can at the basket"

Cant help but blame Scott Brooks. There is no reason the Thunder cannot have an elite ofdensive system with KD and Westbrook.

And i would like to say that Westbrook is one of my favorite players, and i was astonished at how easily he waa scoring, racking up assists, and playing lock down defense. He looked like the best player in the playoffs.

I think they'd do much better if Westbrook played SG more often... I'm just not sure Reggie Jackson is who I'd want to place at PG... maybe someone who's a bit more... 3 pointer/pass oriented.

Steven Adams definitely needs more minutes.

I am not sure I agree with that. Westbrook's wild speed, height, strength combo make him a perfect mismatch for PGs. Combine his amazing defense, scoring instincts, and good passing ability. Truly amazing point guard.

Both Scott Brooks and Westbrook are misunderstood. There's no way I could explain it without going deep into stats and NBA history. They're both excellent players they just don't have decent players around them. If Durant and Westbrook had absurdly good shooters like Reshard Lewis and Ray Allen on the floor at the same time you'd see how unstoppable the offense would be.

All of these things would be relevant... if he was the star of the team. If he absolutely had to handle the ball on every play.

Don't get me wrong, he's still the best option they have... I'm just saying that as good a PG as he is, he'd excel more as a SG (if he had a good PG).

I agree with this, and it irks me that they haven't tried something similar to the Heat. The system obviously works (and is so absurdly simply that Eric Spoelstra can pull it off) and although I understand 3 point shooters of Ray Allen/Rashard Lewis caliber don't just fall from trees... surely there are a few out there worth looking at... or at least worth nurturing.

I don't think putting him at SG would make much of a difference. He needs the ball in his hands to be really effective. If he could play better off the ball then I could see it happen otherwise it'd probably be worse cause he wouldn't have the mismatch he does at PG against most of the league.

And if he could play better off ball then he could stay at PG and have Durant handle the ball more often. But this would all change his game a lot.

I agree that they need shooters. Danny Green would be perfect next to KD and Westbrook. Any 3+D guard/forward would help the offence and take pressure off on defense.

I agree he really needs the ball in his hands. I wouldn't move him to SG even if the PG was Rondo. The only exception I can think of would be Curry, which would be very deadly.

Curry would be amazing but more realistically I think Mario Chalmers would be decent. He can defend, shoot and pass and he knows how to play with 2 stars already so he knows when to attack and when to defer. I don't think he leaves Miami but he would be a good pickup for OKC

I dont think they need three point shooting. KD is money, Westbrook can make an open 3, and is deadly from mid range. Ibaka is lethal from midrange and he can make the occasional corner 3. Reggie Jackson was en fuego from downtown during the Spurs series, plus he can attack the basket on his own.

Players are not the problem. Its the lack of ball movement.
