Tatum is brilliant.   

The missed 3's are agonizing -- but not quite as agonizing as the defense.

feels like we are missing Aaron Baynes a lot tonight.  Theis hustles and works hard, but he isn't as good of a def anchor.

Yeah, I think we don't appreciate how big a part of our defense he was. I think we're suffering right now to not having another big like him in the lineup, as our offense isn't making up the difference right now.

It's 10-1 on free throws and I think the one was a tech...
Defensive 3 seconds, so same difference

So the Thunder play almost two quarters with no fouls, amazing.

Baynes gets back he needs to start and Brown to the bench.

If he was available against Orlando we would have won that game.  He's huge - pun intended - for our team.

It is what happens when you settle for lazy jump shots every time down

just drive in on boston..they have no center who can intimate you

Yep....that is the book. Too many wings and a PF trying to play center

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I'd take a good look at Joakim Noah.

Well, we're not exactly pressing things and forcing the contact.

I know this has been brought up before, but if you are Brad, do you just throw out the first few games once Baynes is back and just go back to the starting lineup that played so well last year?
KI / Brown / Tatum / Al / Baynes

Let GH slowly get his quickness and rhythm back from the bench.  It feels like either Brown or GH need to go to the bench.  Tatum and Brown are deferring to KI and GH too much and it is messing up the whole team.  GH feels like he is still a step slow and that is hurting our def for the starter as well...

We're completely allergic to driving to the hoop.  I just don't understand it.

Wait, wait, wait - so Westbrook just gets to barrel into the lane like a bull in a china shop and any contact becomes a blocking foul??

Thing is this team cannot even get on runs...can't score and can't string together stops
