I wonder how long Davis is gonna let his hair grow out.
Now man up, admit you were wrong and overreacted, and be happy about the W
Man, have you changed. Used to be a quality poster on this board. Now just nothing but negative. We didn't play bad. We had a couple bad possesions on offense, but you have to credit the team for not letting the Thunder score for 4 end of game possesions in a row. Why would you call that "bad play" and "getting lucky"?Originally Posted by ItIsRynosTime
Yes, the players didn't run the plays 3 straight times. That's literally completely exactly what happened.
If that last play was the play Monty called than he needs to be fired
No one was wrong on the offensive end. That was an atrocious display. Just plain terrible.
We just beat OKC for the second time, this one on their home court. Back above .500 and still in playoffs as of today. Last few possessions were mind boggling but that was a great game.
Fire Monty tonight. AD just said in the postgame interview that Monty told him to back off when he went to set the screen on that last offensive possession
I mean tyreke pulled up at the last second. You gotta like Reke against roberson iso, when he's actually driving to the hoop.
I also never argued he had an awesome game, he has had an alright game that if he got the calls he should, wouldn't be getting as many complaints. Don't confuse my original post as me stating Reke has had an awesome game. I highlighted his numbers purely to show he hasn't been a non factor, because houstonpelicans comment made it as if he had been absolutely horrible and everyone else had been fine. The starting lineup had played pretty average most of the night excluding the assists, and Reke and Jrue had both had more than a fair share of bonehead plays. Reke and AD had a great drive and pass game going, that seems to have stopped. since this conversation started,
I'm going to stop the conversation here though, because his 2nd half performance was worse than the first, and at the point this started I was referencing more first half. I'm definitely not arguing against the poor 2nd. As already mentioned by yourself, the iso ball plays weren't good. In saying that, a couple of those were just sloppy offense as a team, not much going on.
listening to AD after comments, interesting he thought Monty told him to drop off on the last play.
Did anyone else hear AD say that Monty called off his pick?
haha exactly what went through my head at the end.
Roberson is an excellent defender.
True, but we just stopped okc on 5 straight possessions to end the game. Oh and OKC is like the best D in the league. I'll take a gritty win oveer a pretty loss anyday.
He didn't
If there is a point in there somewhere, it is still buried.

I still cannot believe I heard Davis say that in the interview, tell your best player to back off? Don't try to use your best player to win the game? How can anyone continue to support and defend this man as being a head coach in this league? Demps and Monty are budget hires by George Shinn who was about to go bankrupt. So what does good ole Tom do? He gives Monty a new 5 year deal when he just bought the team.

Excellent effort to end that game, defensively. Lots of bone headed plays, as usual, but I'll take 2-0 over the Thunder, above .500, and a spot in the top 8 any day of the week.
We played pretty bad most of the night dude. Had a hot start and good finish(minus Evans possessions) but a lot of mess in between. Evans was bad all game, Jrue was bad most of the first half and through spurts of the third. Ryno was off and took a lot of bad shots tonight. Defensive effort was lacking at times. Ball movement was poor most of the game. Too much iso.
Davis had a monster game and like he often does picks up slack for others and his efficiency raises this team ten fold. Take out his shots and the team shot 39%. Just look at the starters minus AD and they shot 32%.
Bench looked good even if it is in the face of often times poor ball movement and passing which I think is really hurting Ryno's game.
Jrues passing really picked up in the second half. All star level in fact.
Was not that impressed altogether with the team though.
You're gonna get a 1 on 1 80% of the time. I'll take Reke v him going towards the hoop over Jrue v westbrook or AD v Ibaka on a straight ISO. That's Monty's thinking I guess... I'd still run the P&R action earlier and let things shake but I'd want Reke driving in that situation
This is the conundrum with this team. Had 33 assists tonight, but at crucial points in the game, they looked like ymca guys speced out in Jordan gear. You just never get a sense that there is any structure on this end of the floor.
AD just said that he thought Monty told him to drop off the screen.
Who really feels comfortable with an AD iso on Ibaka for the last shot? There wasn't a great matchup out there but for an ISO Monty picked the best one. By the way the team won the game. man up
I stand corrected, but that's not a playcall. Monty chose that matchup with the 5-6 seconds left in the play. Can't say I blame him.
