napier's first step is legit. he blows by a lot of folks in the League. what happens IN the paint is another story, he will need to learn what to do down there. kick it out if there isn't a shot don't force the issue. play the glass etc
 
Needs a floater and also has to revive his midrange jumper, he had opportunities to pull up but would penetrate far too deep
 
Pretty gruesome Kemba vs. Bazz contest today. Kemba shot 4-17 with one assist. Bazz was 0-4 with four assists. Hornets won 78-76 - Kemba was 5-6 at the line down the stretch, but his one miss opened the door for Chalmers to win it with a three and he missed. Wish Boat had some of that luck.

While OKC continues to let Dion Waiters touch the ball, Lamb is still squarely on the bench. Waiters is now a robust 41/108 for 39% and 8/31 for 26% from 3. I just don't get what Lamb did to Brooks. It's not like Waiters has been playing good defense or is some fantastic playmaker either.

Indeed, you never know. Somehow the Knicks won, and Lamb got another DNP. The Thunder did get some quality misses from Waiters (3-10), who shot below 40 percent for the sixth game in a row.
 
The Thunder are such a disaster. I know they've had injuries but I can't believe they're actually going to miss the playoffs with that roster.

Maybe that will finally get Scott Brooks fired.
 
Scott Brooks will probably buy himself another year of coaching the Thunder because of the injuries. The guy is a disaster of a coach and to think that guys like Mike Budenholzer and Steve Kerr probably would have jumped at the chance to coach this roster.

OKC is costing itself Durant. First the Harden trade, then the lack of development among the people they traded for, then the Waiters trade and the inevitable departure of Reggie Jackson. I mean, they need to start doing something to make him want to stay.

They need to choose between westbrook or durant and build around one of them

You don't choose b/w two top 5 players still in their prime, you get a coach and a staff that is worth a damn to instill a system and continue developing the young talent they have to play as supporting role players with Durant & Westbrook. As its been mentioned, can you imagine Kerr or Bud's staff with OKC? It would be game over in the West.

Where did Mike Budenholzer play his college ball?

I bet @jleves knows!

You think Westbrook is a top five player?
