Pretty bummed that Maynard didn't regress much. The Thunder might get the 7-8th seed this season.

Fun fact:

Briscoe shot 50% last year against lakers in playoffs.

That team had stallings and Garcia.

Thunder also had a team FG% identical to lakers during season.

BUT lakers yielded a stout 49% fga.

One more fun fact:

That same lineup....

1-0 vs lakers in playoffs (yes yes we know landros injury was all the difference as lakers would've clearly won a road game after being handled with ease in games 1/2)

At 45% 2ga, Daniel Ortega is going to shoot a higher percentage than 4 of the Thunder's starters

Thunder Starters that Ortega has a higher 2g% rating than:
Briscoe - 44% Niedoff 44% Dong 42% Moss 40%

Get the superstar Ortega while you still can.

I think that about sums it up for stellar comebacks.

Are the Thunder going to be the 1st KVBL team with a team shooting percentage below 40%?

Too bad they didn't sign the elite Garcia, he's a better shooter than four of their starters.

I'm just baffled yet consistently unsurprised at how delusional Kenneth is.

We have a low TO team, and a VERY solid defensive team.

Can't keep ignoring those with your fg% facts ken.

My poor fg% is way less of an issue thanks to the team defense.

I fail to see who's gonna pick up Garcias slack at both ends for this team.

Landros can't (well maybe he can) score 30ppg.

IMO it's a Goodhue trade where Lakers may be worse.

A side by side comparison of Daniel Ortega and Xie Dong
Daniel Ortega, 29 years old 45 2g% 26 drb 37 drb 54 stl 66 to 36 blk
Xie Dong, 30 years old 42 2g% 33 orb 29 drb 62 stl 62 to 7 blk

Ortega is basically Dong except he's a good shotblocker, more efficient and makes $1.75 million a year instead of $14.42 million per year. I'm accepting trade offers for the guy that could be the Thunder's second best player for only a backup bigman. Send me offers.

Really Ken,

Dong has a lower 2ga, shot 42% from 3... Has a nice foul rate and Ortega is higher usage and has a 12/23 3G rating.

Dong also put up a 19 aper last season.

Please include complete stats when discussing.

I mean you can't ALWAYS mention the convenient ones.

Who's gonna score in the post and play defense?

I still haven't seen an explanation for the lack of anyone over a "5" pd

Landros will score a ton.

Congratulations.

You're still the easiest team to defend and now, without Fantas even easier.

I forgot to point out the "side by side" comment.

Nice to omit dongs assist and 3pt shooting.

Is this accurate..... "Ok" or "no" Kenneth?

Switching gears ....

Seems like some vets have floors that don't change a ton once they hit a point.

A ton if guys seem to get to a 1-9 level that sticks.

D12 has been where he is for like 5 seasons.

I think landros for like 3.

Even GT you'd think would've regressed more on 1-9 defense

Earl Lynn 28 2ga 44 2g% 8 fta 80 ft% 35 3ga 49 stl t-d 5

Does this make Lynn equal to Katz? Katz who starts and makes $13.69M to $1.98M for Lynn?

Walker and Durant retired as #14 and #18 in career points, respectively (3.0 only, of course). I'll have career stat breakdowns in a bit.
