    I don't think this is a "the team is injured" issue. They look lost and like they're mostly players who should not set food on the court.

    How OKC ever allowed any of our guys to cut and not dare us to shoot is beyond me.

    Ayton is 3-4. 75%.

    rest of the team is 13-38. 34%

    scouting has a tendency to do that

    One play that was nice .
    Grant at the right elbow. Passed to Murray? cutting the right baseline who passed it to Ayton on the left side of the hoop.
    Ayton was fouled.

    He has two assists also, quite good considering his low usage. Billups really has to figure out how to use him better.

    I think Murray's "shot" that went over the hoop to Ayton for an easy bucket was intended as a pass. Smart play by Murray.

    Blazers should be doing that all night long.

    We are not in a position to copy their plan.

    We have a lot of guys who are nice complimentary players. But ask them to be a focal point of anything and we’re in a world of hurt.

    also our guards need to get healthy because it’s becoming embarrassing

    How about just trying build with length. There’s a mold of players they go after. They seem to emphasize length

    Thunder are on the 2nd night of a back to back. They’ll start wearing down in the 4th quarter

    I'd say length without shooting is more or less worthless, but yes, we need length as well.

    Good opportunity for us to cut it to 25.
