OKC needs to figure out what to do with roberson though. I understand what roberson gives them defensively but your 2 cannot give you 4 points a game shooting 25% from 3. I'm not sure if the answer is on their team cause they got the right idea there with a defensive orientated player but it needs to be someone who can atleast finish layups. No lie i seen roberson cut to the rim from the baseline, get the ball, and miss a open layup multiple times this year.

I agree with the notion that they need roberson and he should still be getting 25 minutes a game but I dont think him and adams can start and finish games together, they're just too easy to shut down like that.

Why not? Hes playing with 3 guys who are/can average 20+ points

He has one job and he does it

Eh, I got time today.

Question is what are we talking about? 3 stars getting their points? If so, you are right, they are all averaging 20+ points and "doing their job"

Im talking about maximizing wins though. Ill tell you why it doesnt work. If you watch their games, the player guarding roberson always sags off of him and provides help to the on ball defender. This makes it harder for the 3 to "do their job"

If you watch any of their games, whenever they have any type of ball movement, the ball will be cutting up the defense, you will see a play developing, and as soon as roberson gets the ball the defense relaxes, everyone gets back into place and any play that was developing dies.

Im not saying they need another scorer, im saying they need someone who will primarily defend but who the defense will have to close out on. No lie forget letting him shoot, defenses just let roberson cut to the rim just to get the ball in his hand and then either foul him or watch him miss a layup.

I see what you're saying but on a team where he's supposed to what? Defend, shoot the open 3 if he has it and cut to rim, I feel like ppl complain over his shooting %s

That's not his job to score at all so why ppl cry over his offense? Yeah yeah I get it to keep the D honest

But shit man with 3 all stars to me it don't matter

Aye, yall could come at me at the same time, im ready for war.

I see what you sayin the thunders offense does suffer with roberson on the floor but their defense is elite(it's literally like 2 points behind boston for best in the league) when he's on the floor and he can guard the other teams best wing.

Imo it's just something they have to accept cuz his defensive impact is worth it

Roberson does have to get better at finishing and making open shots. I think it's mental personally he seems scared when he gets the rock

I assume chris paul is coming back sometime this week. I wish dantoni would bring his ass off the bench though.

went from the point gawd to fans wishing he was a spark off the bench. Hell of a movement!

See thats what im saying. They dont need anyone to score, they just need someone who doesnt hurt the offense, roberson clearly hurts the offensive. Like I said before they need to find a creative way to use roberson cause hes really an elite defensive player, but they cant just run him out there opening and closing games.

I feel what you saying and I been saying the same thing. Never said they should trade roberson. I really do think they need him, just cant have a set rotation. He should be played situationally. Team is down in the 4th? Start the 4th with him in the game and get stops. Need a stop late? Get him in to get a stop soon as a foul is called.

Its not just that Roberson hurts them on his own, its having roberson and adams out there together. They should limit their time on the court together.

If roberson is hurting the offense with a mvp PG and two offensive juggernauts then that tells me the coaching is the issue not roberson

Leave my mans alone

Everything im saying is based on the understanding that the coach is trash and westbrook is uncoachable.

A good offensive system with everyone buying in will solve all these issues but I dont see any coach coming in and being able to get everyone to buy in, and I also dont know if westbrook is coachable.

Question is what are we talking about? 3 stars getting their points? If so, you are right, they are all averaging 20+ points and "doing their job"

Im talking about maximizing wins though. Ill tell you why it doesnt work. If you watch their games, the player guarding roberson always sags off of him and provides help to the on ball defender. This makes it harder for the 3 to "do their job"

If you watch any of their games, whenever they have any type of ball movement, the ball will be cutting up the defense, you will see a play developing, and as soon as roberson gets the ball the defense relaxes, everyone gets back into place and any play that was developing dies.

Im not saying they need another scorer, im saying they need someone who will primarily defend but who the defense will have to close out on. No lie forget letting him shoot, defenses just let roberson cut to the rim just to get the ball in his hand and then either foul him or watch him miss a layup.

I see what you're saying but on a team where he's supposed to what? Defend, shoot the open 3 if he has it and cut to rim, I feel like ppl complain over his shooting %s

That's not his job to score at all so why ppl cry over his offense? Yeah yeah I get it to keep the D honest

But shit man with 3 all stars to me it don't matter

OKC needs to figure out what to do with roberson though. I understand what roberson gives them defensively but your 2 cannot give you 4 points a game shooting 25% from 3. I'm not sure if the answer is on their team cause they got the right idea there with a defensive orientated player but it needs to be someone who can atleast finish layups. No lie i seen roberson cut to the rim from the baseline, get the ball, and miss a open layup multiple times this year.

I agree with the notion that they need roberson and he should still be getting 25 minutes a game but I dont think him and adams can start and finish games together, they're just too easy to shut down like that.

Why not? Hes playing with 3 guys who are/can average 20+ points

He has one job and he does it

Eh, I got time today.

See thats what im saying. They dont need anyone to score, they just need someone who doesnt hurt the offense, roberson clearly hurts the offensive. Like I said before they need to find a creative way to use roberson cause hes really an elite defensive player, but they cant just run him out there opening and closing games.

If roberson is hurting the offense with a mvp PG and two offensive juggernauts then that tells me the coaching is the issue not roberson

Leave my mans alone

Everything im saying is based on the understanding that the coach is trash and westbrook is uncoachable.

A good offensive system with everyone buying in will solve all these issues but I dont see any coach coming in and being able to get everyone to buy in, and I also dont know if westbrook is coachable.

Ahhh I feel you I feel like we Donovan not the right coach for this team the same way hoidberg wasn't for the "three alphas"

But I don't see the need to replace him because PG might be gone next season and melo too unless he has another year left on his deal

Boston has the #1 defense in the nba and has 5 players in the top 10 of defensive rating

Thunder have the #2 defense in the nba,they have One player in the top 10. Nuff said

Roberson is a key player for them he's same tier as draymond and kahwi as defenders.
 
Man Roberson on some Dennis Rodman shit....fam is just there to rebound and play D. As long as he doing both and staying the fuck outta the way on offense he ain't a liability
 
Roberson also plays like what? 20-25 minutes a game? I never said they should stop playing Roberson, or, that they shouls trade him. Just said they have to situationally use him for 25 minutes a night.

Also, NBA basketball is all about ball movement now, you just cant have a situation where the ball moves, defenders start falling out of place, and then soon as 1 player gets the ball the defense slows down and gets back into place.

Rodman thrived 25+ years ago in the iso era of ball. But ima stop and not even take it there.
