Does it get released right before the game? After the game? I still don’t see one for OKC yet but also it’s been this way for a while. I visit the site the day after, then it’ll show the game preview for the game the night prior.

But I think the gist of it was that his management style was to place herculean trust in his hires. So that tells me that there is lil prospect that he gets sent packing any time soon.

And he shuts down anyone who dares to disagree. He sux, but it’s, as you say, very predictable. Love to see ty get canned but would love it more if his replacemlent was at least competent.

So that just encouraged and emboldened the team to continue to rely on that hero ball and nothing else.

Ty needs to go and this isn’t a hot take. What we have seen these first 7 games is what this team will be over the course of the season. Sure there were be some improvements. I do think Beal will come into form and play much much better but Beal playing significant better isn’t going to save this team.

This team needs an offensive system and a new defensive scheme that fits a backcourt of Beal and Harden. The switch everything scheme doesn’t work with that backcourt. I think Van Gundy can figure on the defensive end but Ty has no idea on how to create an offensive system. He is Doc 2.0, no more no less. He always has been and always will be.

Being an apologist is required.

We all know the problems of this team. It starts with Beal, who was promised a starting position. He should be coming off the bench and working his way of getting back into game shape.

Oh, and that Ty problem. Catering to over the hill veterans and slandering the younger folk. He has no system therefore he allows his veterans to run the show. He’s always been a fraud and Ballmer is too nice to fire people.
