But I do think Donovan has great potential. But unfortunately ATM he's not playing very well. I like Donovan alot as a player though. The only problem he relies alot on his shot. So if he's shot is off he's not very effective. But he has time to improve alot which I hope he does

Hard to keep things in perspective with an emotional game against a fresh rival, but I am pleased with things. A month ago, this would have been a blowout. For the Thunder to win it took another rest advantage, a 40 point outpouring from PG13, some blown calls, a 23-2 run, and Donovan experiencing growing pains to win by a point. I'm not big on moral victories, but I'll buy optimism all day long and for me, this game provides it.

They got great looks throughout almost that entire stretch, they just didn't hit shots. Favors missed like 3 or 4 layups at the rim off of oops and rolls to the hoop, Exum missed a layup and a wide open three, shooters missed a bunch of wide open threes.
They got great looks against the best defense in the league, they just missed shots. Exum ran the offense fine.

What? Korver never got the ball, he never gets the ball when Dante is playing

First half I agree, and in general Exum needs to do a better job of finding Korver. That 3rd quarter stretch is a bad example of Exum's poor PG skills is all I'm saying since he made the right play almost every time, especially since iirc they really overplayed Korver in particular during that 3rd quarter stretch defensively but I would have to double check that.

Based on Dante's career and Mitchell's career, Dante is all about potential - Mitch has already succeeded on many levels. These fans would love Dante to live up to his #5 draft position, but just doubt he will and are probably very frustrated when Dante stans (of which I am one) focus on how he has been treated 'unfairly' etc. All they want him to be is good.

Truly one of the most annoying players in the NBA. He often plays out of control. I'm afraid he is going to injure someone.

Exum is out of control. Westbrook is fully in control at 110 mph all game long. It’s tough not to respect that, though he does leave a lot to be desired in the decision-making department.

He is a turd of a person and has no character. As a basketball player he has skill but is selfish. I hope Donovan posters his *** and injuries him in the process. Westbitch looks like Kermit the frog on crack

By all reports Russell Westbrook is one of the best teammates to have in the entire league. I've read plenty of reports from teammates about how great Westbrook is to have as a teammate, and I've heard similar things through a friend who has a few connections to some of the Aussie players in the NBA who have told stories to him from OKC players they've spoken to during their time in the league. One quote that sticks with me is one of the OKC players (Roberson I think?) told one of the players at a dinner during the all star break that they'd run through a wall for Westbrook because he's that good of a teammate.
I think he uses his competitiveness to excuse some of his ****** on court behaviour, but the dude is a good person off the court and he has more character than people realise.
