KD still sucks at "posting up," in the mid post, particularly with Tony Allen on him. If he can't get a better seal on his defender and target hand, it's a turnover waiting to happen or at the least deflected. Even when he does get it, you're talking about him recieving the ball around the 3pt line, back to the basket with a defender drapped over him and like 5 seconds remaining. Brooks in his post game talked about finding more ways to get their hands off KD (more screen action). They are still very predictable offensively. Like Barkely said, ball is just a ticking time bomb at that point for whoever is at the top trying to find him, same with when they blow up the baseline screen action (again predictable and the same stuff they've been running for years) by leaving Perkins open on the slip and having the big hedge on KD coming off.
I know coaches shorten their rotation in the plostseason, but I am a bit upset Brooks couldn't find 1 minute for Lamb, PJ3, Robers. I mean insert him, in 3 possessions run 2 plays for him, if he misses both fine back to the bench, especially in the home games. Now if or when we get foul trouble in Memphis, you're going to have to go to 1 of them out of desparation and it's just going to be ugly. They'll **** their pants.
DNP- CD for Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones 3. 2.5 minutes for Steven Adams. Inactive for Andre Roberson, 23 minutes for Caron Butler, 17 for Derek Fisher, 14 for Reggie Jackson. 43, 45, 47 for Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka.
. How can people say Westbrook shot them out of the game when he and Durant both shot 28 attempts?
