Eh, they can always revert to Russ and KD iso. It is vital for them to NOT be PREDICTABLE in the half court which was apparent throughout every playoff run, regardless of health

There is nothing wrong with their bench. Augustine, Morrow, Kanter, McGary and Collison are more than serviceable PROVIDED the starters stay relatively healthy. Which is obviously a long shot given their history. Waiters and Payne are wildcards as well

You ever watch Donovan? It's gonna take a lot for it to revert back to the ISO's. He's gonna pound that system until he either gets it to work or the players turn on him.

I don't think the bench isn't serviceable, I said I don't think they fit w/the ball movement and floor positioning in Donovan's offense. That's part of the reason I think a panic move might happen.

At the end of the day, we'll just have to wait and see. I might just be looking at it too hard through one scope.

He's not an idiot though. He has the two best isolation players in the league. KD has been with him since Summer League I'm assuming they've gotten pretty close already. Donovan is not going to come into their situation like a tyrant

Debating stuff like this with Vincent will linger for days. Its best to just let it play out :lol: . Not saying you're wrong Vincent, but I've debated with you before and it will last forever :lol:

I agree with Proshares. A lot of unknowns, but I just don't expect Donovan to change his approach at all because he has good iso players. I'm also not a big believer in their bench. More concerned with the defense of their bench and whether or not they have the ability to sustain leads. I didn't watch OKC much in preseason, but I'm also want to see how Donovan decides to leave 1 of KD and Russ on the floor at all times.

Breh, it's not like you give in either

All I'm doing is pointing things out, I don't see the issue
 
Watching the little I did of OKC, their half court stuff still looks pretty unimaginative. (For the most part.) Not a lot of movement before they get into their High P&R and the movements were without any real vigor. My thinking is that their lack of offensive imagination has to do with Russ's lack of discipline rather than the coach. We'll see if i'm right or not.

Really want to see if the Thunder run some sort of offense under Donovan. Or will it be a pick up style between Durant and Westbrook when things get tight? Like it was under Brooks.

reason i dont like okc going all the way. i dont believe in that O..... i dont think their play style had to do with brooks but more to do with the players that westbrook and durant are.

I just don't see Donovan essentially changing the DNA of KD nor Russ. I do see a great possibility in changing tendencies. Melding their talent with structure. It should not be one or the other. That wasn't the point of changing coaches
