    He said he listened to Mary J Blige and that it's not surreal, but it is like a dream.

    This is bad but expected you cannot go from Dame one of the best to a rookie and think there would not be a drop off. I will say it again I believe in Scoot even if it might be rough at time but have little to no faith in Billups to coach this team up.

    Scoot is all out of sorts.. Zubac's hurting us on both sides of the ball tbh

    Westbrook is cooking Scoot

    apparently he idolizes him, so just settle down young fella

    Simons for Shaedon is the first non-foul related sub it appears

    well i mean the word id use for it is hyper-critical...

    no reason to be hyper-critical in the 1st quarter of the 1st game, we're putting matisse thybulle on kahwi leonard, not exactly easy terrain for billups or any coach to navigate if u ask me

    were starting a rookie pg theres gonna be lots of hiccups.. but the hope is it pays off down the line..

    As usual, I see no discernible plan on offense.

    It's not the first quarter of the first game. It's a continuation of preseason. Same shit. The only difference is that the games matter now.

    When was last time Westbrook won a playoff series? He acts like he’s so good.

    I dont see any offense plan either. All mid-long shots. Zuba-Jabar out there.

    What is this offense? Just pass the ball around the perimeter? No PnRs, no drives, screens off the ball....anything.

    Is it critical.....or just observation of what is actually going on? I expected rough, but this is painful.
