@perk is my best friend @PostBeardStressDisorder @WestCrook If it weren't for Fish, he'd have led the Thunder in intangibles this season!
@perk is my best friend @WestCrook Also: setting picks.
Amnestying Perk makes no financial sense (and therefore no basketball sense) for the Thunder. Royce is 100% right about that. But possibilities #2 and #3 (benching perk or using him rarely as a specialist) seem like very viable options to me. And to the extent that neither will happen with Brooks as coach, the more interesting hysterical fan demand is for the Thunder to get a new head coach. And unlike finding a center they can afford, there really are some interesting options when it comes to potential coaches.
Are you going to write an article about that, Royce?
@Nicky Scarfo ...'cause this team would be totally awesome if Nenad Krstic were our starting center, Ibaka was coming off the bench, and we had the ever-reliable Jeff Green as a starter.
@OohWeeItsVelvetHoop Close, except that the list should also start with "AMNESTY PERK," and it should be repeated after each other item. Not much evolution going on here, I'm afraid.
With the Dubs gone, there are no teams I like left in the playoffs. I think I will find myself reluctantly rooting for the Heat (whom I detest), 'cause if they lose, especially to Indiana or NY, the what-ifs of this playoff run will just be too painful to deal with.
@ZombieSonics Hope you enjoy trolling this board, ZS. 'Cause it don't look like the Emerald City is going to get a chance to steal someone else's team for a while.
@Lost Ones @TrueChamp That, to my mind, is the real problem this team faces. They lost this series because Russ wasn't playing. But I don't think they could have won more than a game or two off Miami. And _that_'s a problem that the team needs to do something fairly major to address.
@loplopol @PostBeardStressDisorder He had an off night shooting, but he was still contributing to the team. How many minutes did he play again?
Major plus of this awful offseason: it was great for Reggie's development as a player.
I'm officially rooting for the Dubs for the rest of the playoffs. They were my team growing up. And they're a ton of fun when they're on.
Anybody who's complaining about KD after what he's given this team since Russ went down wins the Skip Bayless Thunder Fan award for the night.
@ThunderWins @PostBeardStressDisorder Well it was close enough that all kinds of things could have made the difference (e.g. offensive production from Sef or KMart or Serge). But we had Westbrook. And we've never had a good coach. So focusing on the coach is missing the real story here.
This series was 100% about Westbrook's absence. Five close games.
Tough night for KD. That was a good look. Most nights he makes that.
@OohWeeItsVelvetHoop Is "heart" a play?
@mattchant To be fair, are any of TNT's ads funny ever?
@mattchant Oh, come one! Each game, he's removed Perkins three or four times!
Say what you will about Fish not having his shot, but he's still consistently hustling out there.
