jabari went off fuck yeah

 

Forget Giannis and Jabari, let's talk about THON MAKER! Back to back garbage time threes baby.

 

Let's go Russy

 

Kerr lost his damn mind on that play.

 

I wish I could dress like Russ Westbrook every damn day

 

I don't have an idea of a trade OKC could do, but Rudy Gay might make sense for them. Adams is awesome and Sabonis appears to be promising, but they need someone else to help Russ score consistently.

 

Should've been Oladipo but he's doodoo

 

I don't think they traded for him thinking he'd be the answer offensively. They thought he was a young wing that fits next to Russ and KD. Oladipo should watch Avery Bradley. That guy has quietly improved every year on the offensive end after being thought of as a defender, which he still is.

 

lol Rudy gay and oladipo and Russ, that'd be atrocious

 

Ugh, this makes me sad.

 

Rudy Gay is playing well in a contract year. It's a realistic solution to more offense. Not many teams are looking to trade starting wings these days.

 

You're right, I forgot that trade happened before KD left

 

Rudy gay has been on the trade block since like march and no one has even picked up the phone.

 

Because he wasn't worth the risk. He would be a rental option as an expiring contract for more offense that you have rights to if it works out. If it doesn't, or you find something better in the offseason you move along. I know they like Grant but that's more of a growth move. They need scoring now on the wing to help Russ and Adams. What would you do @Whatjuliansaid? Who would you try to get that's realistic? I'm sure there are some others, but Gay does make some sense for them.

 

No one lol they don't have anything to realistically deal anyway

 

The big three right there

 

No way the Lakers do worse against the Warriors tomorrow than OKC is now.

 

Which is why Rudy Gay as an expiring contract is not a bad idea for them.

 

Hot take cannon

 

I like how the coverage of Bradley has all been expressing shock at his offensive game this year. Not saying he didn't take a step forward, but he's been better every year. He was really starting to stick that mid-range jumper regularly all last year. He's just looking for his shot more.

Which makes me happy, because he's easily my favorite Celtic.

 

That playoff series two seasons ago he played the Cavs well. His ability to score helped Thomas get going. He never had that CJ McCollum break out so he doesn't get talked about much. I'm glad people are finally giving him his due. Good player. Had a nice game last night against us.

 

For real guys, Thon Maker has a 99.77 PER right now. The GOAT.

 

Westbrook made a fool of himself by wearing that vest in and then getting routed in the game.

 

He still had a double double and was really the only guy a team with four all stars had to defend consistently. His numbers are still fine. At best he's playing on the Iverson Sixers. At worst Boogie's Kings. I don't think he's looking like a fool. That's his personality to wear things others don't think to. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I just see a guy on an island. I love Adams but asking him or Oladipo to be their toto be your Next best scoring options is unfair until their offenses grows more.

 

He wore it because Durant is an avid photography enthusiast. Dick move if I've ever seen one. Let it go, you know. The guy made the best decision, period. No respect for antics like that.
