    Dillon Brooks is the biggest poser out there - OKC wiped his a** off completely off the court

    Yeah but he didn’t have the right horses, Booker and Green aren’t LeBron, Luka and Reaves. Adding Brooks as your 5th starter is a lot different than your 2nd option no?

    He was the 4th guy in Memphis and shat the bed in the playoffs against the Lakers - don't trust him at all

    We already have Adou. We just need to give him the chance to take on that role. High motor, physical, athletic, kick a$$ kind of player. No need to go shopping for what we already have. Hire Metta to be his personal trainer and guru. He should be able to pick up that elbow to the head trick pretty quick.

    I guess the refs are allowing mma in this series. Arm bars are legal.

    i think brooks's problem is partly that he really doesn't embrace the 5th starter role. he thinks he's the show. he takes way too many shots for such a bad offensive player. it would be like if smart thought he should carry more of the offense or something.

    also, as much as i like defenders, brooks can't defend guards. not quick enough. we still need someone on this roster (preferably two guys, tbh) who can do that.
