In the words of the great man Stuart Scott, Shai is cool as the flip side of the pillow.

Everything says they shouldn’t be ready yet, but if they continue to shoot the ball like they have so far, literally everyone will have trouble with them. Odds are they won’t, but it’s going to be fun to watch.

@thunderc do you think OKC needs to add a veteran to take a shot at a title or should they just let these guys keep getting better just them?

I don’t know if they should, but they aren’t going to. Presti truly believes that no matter what type of player he could go get he very well may have him already. He is going to find out.

It's almost axiomatic they will have to make one more, deeper playoff run first, then win a title after. Can't remember a team this young winning one

You don't have an opinion on if they should?

The only thing I think they need to do is get a proven rebounder to have against certain teams. Presti is not going to clog things up though, he is willing to concede that at times.

Really not liking the CP3 trade. So far he hasn't done much at all.
Dude is basically dead weight at this point, and plays no defense whatsoever.
Kerr looks like he's frustrated with his team...but a lot of that is on himself.

Did Kuminga get hurt?
Also...why didn't the dubs foul Chet with 1.5 sec to go in regulation as soon as he got the ball on that out of bounds play??
Game should've never got to OT.

But hey...bright side...the Knicks won again.....their 3rd straight.
Also...it's only mid November.
Long way to go.

It isn’t a “forget” situation.

It is a strategy some coaches/teams don’t like.

Easy to say the team should have fouled when the other guy hits the shot, but reality is that foul or no foul, both options work, but neither is close to 100%.

I don’t think you really know for sure what your team lacks until you see the group in some playoff series. In my opinion, it wouldn’t be wise now to part with their stock pile of players and picks until they can see what this looks like in the playoffs. OKC may be different and I don’t want to sell them short but historically when you have a young core they rarely explode on to the scene and are championship contenders immediately. Playoffs are different. Teams are able to hunt weaknesses better because of the familiarity of 4-7 games in a row.
