Changing of The Guard

Re: Changing of The Guard

Bertans is lethal in limited minutes on this game the downside is he gets absolutely wrecked on defense if you help him out constantly.

OKC needs to get on track or the WOJ bombs could start flying.

Oh man, just wait lol. We're really not that bad, but our record is really proving otherwise.


Crazy week last week, but coming back with another update now.

Coach's Corner:
"The Sixers are a top team in this league and a legit championship contender. I'm proud of our guys that we stuck with them all the way through. If Embiid misses a few of those three's, I think we beat them. We played well, but they got us in the end. They're a special group."

What a tough start to the season bro. This is definitely one of the cleanest layouts on these boards, loving the presentation! Keep up the great work dude.

Tough loss against Philly, Billy D is keeping his head up but I have to assume he's pretty frustrated at how OKC is playing internally. So many close losses.

Like you guys said, this is a perfect opportunity for us to build some confidence and get a win on the books. Interesting tidbit, this will be our first road game of the year. Could be a really good "get-right" game for us.

Thanks for checking in man, really appreciate the kind words!

Yeah, good point. We've played some really tough teams so far, and we're still not yet at the halfway mark, so I'm not worried. Basketball is a game of runs, and the same is true in the standings sometimes. We have some easier games on the horizon that I think we can add a few more W's to the win column. I'm trying to remain positive and look on the bright side that we've been able to hang around with a lot of these teams – Boston, Philly, Utah, etc.

I'm looking forward to making some moves though for sure. Lots of areas for improvement.

Thanks for checking in everyone!
