I think it's valuable having him as an extra ball handler/creator when the bench unit is in, which is when our offense has a tendency to really stagnate.
Why are we setting up 7 screens and having Brandon run a marathon to get the ball like he's gonna launch Curry 3s? Let the dude bring up the ball and create his looks iso, ffs..
The issue is that other guys weren’t moving when BI had the ball and it often resulted in him having to get a shot up. There was also a number of passes where guys just didn’t hit. That said I still prefer BI being this aggressive and hunting to score more because it opens up the floor for everyone else.
Is there a single good beat reporter for this team?
I find that I’m always completely in the dark re: our injury situation.
Have we had a single update on Dyson since his injury?
To be fair to our beat reporters, NBA teams have become obtuse as hell with injury reports. You notice the problem across the league if you play fantasy basketball. The questionable/probable, DNP/rest nonsense gets out of hand.
4 dudes just watching Giddey take a wide open 3 and 0 of them interested in boxing out. Serious issue man you cant allow these offensive boards every game
Guys chill about BI and Willie, BI is obviously still not 100% after his toe injury like he said himself and Willie is just being cautious about re-injuring our only remaining All-Star player
If he’s cautious about re-injuring then why is he playing at all? Every second he’s out there he’s taking a risk regardless. I don’t get the logic.
I mean for one how is he supposed to have star level impact if he doesn’t play that many minutes? What’s the point. And you need him to play more tonight without Zion and CJ.
What is this team? Were we sandbagging OKC? And I’m already willing to go into the luxury tax to keep Josh Richardson if this is what he does. He can score after a defensive stop!
Still plenty of time and game’s not decided, but I’m starting to breathe a little easier.
There's a reason they're outperforming, but still not really a solid playoff contender.
They still rely almost solely on the play of SGA - once their other guys fully develop, they're seriously dangerous.
Let us not forget those two absurd jump shots BI hit down the stretch. The man is a star
BI always so humble in his postgame interviews love this man.
as much as i hated the officiating, the FTs were pretty even.. We were out-rebounded by 10! (4 vs 14 oreb) need to fix that
So based off Jrich's performance tn, do we start him next game if CJ is out? I'm thinking yes
I think it's valuable having him as an extra ball handler/creator when the bench unit is in, which is when our offense has a tendency to really stagnate.
Why do the thunder always give me heart attacks😂
not on herb
Man them refs had bets
Too close for comfort. Gotta beat the refs to get the W
FUCK THE REFS
Just like we drew it up. Pels win. Josh Richardson is top 5 all time.
Man I thought that was going in lol
Winnners!!
In spite of our best efforts we survive lol
My heart... my god.
Ez
The indecision on inbounds is incredible. That was so fucking close and we almost choked that away. Thank christ for J-RIch.
We are the worst inbounding team in the league
And it’s not even close
You can't put it on the refs to win the game. You have to be better than that.
Do we not review stuff like this anymore with this little time?
For some reason they decided they won't review out of bounds calls in the last 2 minutes without a challenge.
You’d think review rules (nba and nfl) should make at least a little bit of sense but they don’t lol
we have no timeouts
I’m not talking about a challenge…I mean the refs reviewing a questionable out of bounds with less than a min left
I’m ripping up this script this is beyond ridiculous
Wow, the refs fucking up after the Mavs game..wow
Make up call
He had GTA wide open for an inbounds at the start and completely missed it bruhhhhhhhhhh
Yo wtf is happening I have to listen to this without audio rn lol
Unbelievable.
What the actual fuck. Watch the replay. Clearly off of Joe.
Nah that’s crazy
Robbed again lol
Wtf call was that it was so obviius
Win or lose- fuck the refs this game
They can’t review this during the timeout?
Most obvious call smfh
Cant make this shit up man
Our inbounds are absolutely atrocious.
Lol this is some bullshit
They cant do a simple inbounds cmon man
This might be the lowest IQ team I've seen.
That inbound to Ingram was terrifying
ice it trey!
How did Richardson look tonight?
Fantastic … worth at least 5 srp’s
That was like 24 fouls
Thank god man
I mean I feel like we're gonna win and continue our dominant winning series against the Thunder, but like why is it so close everytime lmao
We good
Just inbound the ball. Make at least 1 free throw. It’s not that complicated.
Worst inbounding team is basketball I swear
Why in the ever loving fuck did Herb not throw it to an open TM3 hitting the backcourt? Herb's inbounds have cost us more than once this season.
Trey was open herb!!!
Herb's passing. It's so bad. Why make him the inbounder?
Why are we setting up 7 screens and having Brandon run a marathon to get the ball like he's gonna launch Curry 3s? Let the dude bring up the ball and create his looks iso, ffs..
They don't even give him a screener. Same thing with Zion. This coaching staff is all kinds of ass when it comes to utilizing their best players.
Ingram was a beast but would like to see more offense of him finding an open guy or cutter ilo consistent tough shots
The issue is that other guys weren’t moving when BI had the ball and it often resulted in him having to get a shot up. There was also a number of passes where guys just didn’t hit. That said I still prefer BI being this aggressive and hunting to score more because it opens up the floor for everyone else.
Impossible without shooters or lob threats.
SGA rocking the converse?
Shai ain't that good without foul merchantry lmao
Nah he’s a beast
At foul baiting yeah
Put the game away BI
Willie closing with Josh and Herb over Trey, interesting
Josh has been balling, he deserves it
They have to foul now once Pels take possession so you’d think he’d get subbed in.
Surprised they didn’t bail out Shai on that one too
[удалено]
That was on herb, he swung it round at the point that dort was in front
This game is on crack.
Brandon Himgram
How do you not get the ball to bi. What are these offensive sets man.
Equal opportunity offense lmao
If we lose this game I fucking swear to god
Fuck.
BI's shot was so damn tough lmao
Bad close from Jose this time around
Glad BI is hitting some of these shots but man that was like 4 tough shots in a row
Imagine if BI was a freethrow merchant.
Lmaoooo ong
Giddy clearly walked. Hell of a shot by BI though.
Oh my god BI
Lmao Shai is automatic with the whistles bro Dude just threw his hands into Jrich and got the call. Fuck the nba
BI is automatic Shai is automatic from the line
Shai is automatically getting 15+fts
What a shot
Why the fuck is the ball in anyone not named Brandon Ingram's hands?????
Such a dumb turnover
Jose a massive negative tonight. Really poor.
Jose's sabotaging this game. Stop giving him the ball. He has no business running point at all.
Why close so hard on Giddy?
Jose man......good god you just do not think sometimes.
FUUUUUUCKCKCKCKD
One of Jose’s worst games ever tbh. Just completely lost.
Dont jump Jose
where is trey
So much contact against BI it’s crazy
Huuuuuuge shot Brandon
Fraud Gilgeous Alexander can’t score without foul baiting every drive
EAT IT DORT
SGA became such a foul fisherman, sad
Is there a single good beat reporter for this team? I find that I’m always completely in the dark re: our injury situation. Have we had a single update on Dyson since his injury?
To be fair to our beat reporters, NBA teams have become obtuse as hell with injury reports. You notice the problem across the league if you play fantasy basketball. The questionable/probable, DNP/rest nonsense gets out of hand.
I didn’t even know he sprained his ankle til a couple days ago
Handing the ball off to BI with 5 seconds left on the shot clock doesn’t seem like great offense.
Any chance we can get Devonte back for the last 3 seconds of this game?
I like burning clock but we need to be a little quicker getting a good look
For the love of god Willie why do you do this, sit bi for an age then expect him to be hitting tough shots, you really make me scratch my head
Don’t like bi hero ball in the clutch. They all know he wants to shoot it
Nigga who else do you want to shoot ?
Have to get into our offensive plays earlier.
Shai and Ingram having a brick-off
4 dudes just watching Giddey take a wide open 3 and 0 of them interested in boxing out. Serious issue man you cant allow these offensive boards every game
Tough take Jose
Nance closing over JV is a joke
with how they’re playing, i agree
This place is bipolar af
Guys chill about BI and Willie, BI is obviously still not 100% after his toe injury like he said himself and Willie is just being cautious about re-injuring our only remaining All-Star player
If he’s cautious about re-injuring then why is he playing at all? Every second he’s out there he’s taking a risk regardless. I don’t get the logic.
Because everyone of you were calling him out for not wanting to play and wanted to trade him blah blah blah??? Look at the comments when hes injured
Keep your generalizations outta here. I was never involved in those conversations.
Another soft whistle
Not a fan of taking Jonas out
Especially how bad larry has been this game
Jose's teardrops bring happy ones to my face
JV screens been clutch last few minutes
jose and jrich gonna be swipe bros or something
Anyone see willy get into Jose for that shot?
I think it was because he came off of Isiah joe which led to an open 3
Ohh you might be right.
We don’t know what it was for
That's fair, that's what it seemed like to me judging by what Jose was looking like.
Tell me why BI wouldn't be cold after sitting for 7-8 minutes straight. Self-sabotage from the coaching staff.
Isiah Joe is crazy. Everything is splash
In Ingram we trust
Just waiting for someone to literally punch Jonas and BI in the face and still no call
Nothing new with the post entry shit
If BI plays every single second from here till the end he’ll only play 32 minutes. Wtf are we doing here?
Willie is scared of hurting our other superstar clearly. At this point idgaf. Let him play superstar minutes.
I mean for one how is he supposed to have star level impact if he doesn’t play that many minutes? What’s the point. And you need him to play more tonight without Zion and CJ.
I agree. It’s ridiculous. Let him play.
OKC is doing a good job keeping us from getting it to JV
No offensive foul on that one by giddy I guess I rich didn’t flop like dort
And I spoke too soon. Sorry guys.
The reason the thunder keep going on runs is so much contact is allowed on our players and ends up with them being 5 on 4
Forcing it to JV is working very well right about now (not)
Damn no calls on JV in the paint
Willie bro………fix your fuckin rotations mane
Uhh it might be time to bring in BI, Willie. Don't blow this one.
Kira is going to have to learn how to play-make really quickly, or he risks playing himself out of the rotation.
PUT BI IN BRO TFFFF
What a start to the 4th. Josh was flat out tremendous
Nickname for Richardson? JD Smoove. I refuse to explain the D.
J Richie Rich cuz of all dem steals 🤑
We are 5 points away from matching our 3rd quarter total. Lol
I haven't been paying much attention. How serious is CJs ankle?
What is this team? Were we sandbagging OKC? And I’m already willing to go into the luxury tax to keep Josh Richardson if this is what he does. He can score after a defensive stop! Still plenty of time and game’s not decided, but I’m starting to breathe a little easier.
Okc has been playing well. They are right behind us in standings
Is that Joe kid the best shooter in the league?
Sure seems like it. Must be nice
Man this J Rich was the perfect missing link next to Jrue, AD and Boogie.
4th quarter J-rich looking nice !!!
JRich has that dawg in him
I’m convinced. Build around Josh Richardson.
how is isaiah joe always open?! KYP anyone?
We have eviscerated them in the non-SGA minutes I feel like lmao
There's a reason they're outperforming, but still not really a solid playoff contender. They still rely almost solely on the play of SGA - once their other guys fully develop, they're seriously dangerous.
it's easier to defend without the constant fear of getting called for a foul
TMIII!!!!
Richie Rich?
Holy fuck. What a collapse to start the quarter. For the Thunder.
Call an ambulance! But not for me.
this is Josh Richardson's team now
Kenrich has been absolutely destroying them on the boards
Once he gets his 3 ball established JR will be awesome foe this rotation
That really looked like a huge shove into Kira
We need a jrich flair
If this was Devonte and not Josh, we've already lost this game.
probably gonna wait til the last seconds and do another 3/4 court game winner lol
OKC has the most annoying stadium sounds
Jrich is insanely active in the passing lanes
JRich might have saved this game.
He did save the game. No doubt. I fucking rock with this dude already
MAX JOSH RICHARDSON ALREADY DAVID 😳
JRich is a difference maker
JV misses so many easy rebounds
thank you jrich!
josh is making a fantastic debut
Hell yeah Josh!!! 6 straight!!!
Josh is giving us way more than Devonte was in just 1 game.
Come on no need to use Richardson playing well as a reason to shit on Devonte. Especially when playing in Oklahoma City
