Bruh the 2012 Lakers were easily worse, y'all have short memories. Kobe, Gasol, Nash, Howard, D'antoni lol. They were way worse than this Thunder team. Got SWEPT in the first round as an 8 seed. They were ranked #2 going into the season behind the Heat lol.

[@prisonmike1139]

[@nitpicker9406]

The Thunder are mediocre because they still adhere to the archaic NBA mindset that volume is way more important than efficiency. You can't just throw together a team with 20+ ppg scorers, and expect to win a championship. Your players need to compliment each other and make each other better. The Heat with Lebron, Wade, and Bosh were the perfect example of this. Before, each of them were excellent players but once they got to Miami they each had career years. Not really in the amount of points they scored per game but how efficiently they scored. That is because Wade and Lebron were excellent ballhandlers and passers who compliment each other on the offensive end and can make plays for each other and for Bosh. Bosh in Miami developed his outside shot because he and the team knew he would get a lot more open space from 15-24 foot with Lebron and Wade's ability to get into the paint with penetration. You saw nothing of this in Oklahoma City. Too much "hero ball" was being played. What is the point of having 3 good scorers if only one of them is being used on each possession? Each of the "big three' of the Thunder actually shot worse from the field than the average of the team. Only Westbrook was close with nearly 45% shooting. So when the role players are shooting more efficiently than the stars you know something is messed up. The stars are taking too many shots and perhaps the role players aren't shooting enough.

[@jacobysimmons5341]

Nit Picker faxx 💯. But it’s a big two cuz Melo’s old now, he didn’t even average 20 this year and all he could ever do was score cuz that’s wat MADE him great

[@bmillersince92]

U ignore the fact melo come up small this year okc lost alot of close games if melo coulda averaged 20ppg and roberson woulda stayed healthy the conversation would be different. I think with a healthy team okc coulda pushed Houston to game 7 in the semi

[@drasconboy6349]

The reason he averaged 16 was because they asked him to take less shots Melo around the half-way mark averaged 19ppg but then he started to pass up shots which is why his scores dropped

[@joaquin4497]

Xzavier Carr big two? More dynamic duo

[@canttakeanymore]

@@drasconboy6349 you're making his point for him--Melo is a very inefficient scorer--that's why they asked him to take less shots. He's always needed a shit ton of shots to get his points. His 'greatness' is based on volume, and what George Karl called 'ball stopping'. At least, Karl called him a ball stopper--I guess he thought that was nicer than 'ball hog who only scores and nothing else'.

[@carmeloanthony4153]

Rick Ryan lmao Joe ingles, Donavan Mitchell, and Favors averaged more pts through the entire series on pg13 head than they did on Melo's. OKC played melo at center because he clamped Gobert and Mitchell or Rubio off the p&r for an entire game lmao. If every single one of us watched that series you would see melo was actually playing solid defense, and was getting isolated from the offense which is why he averaged a measly 12ppg. Melo used to average 30ppg in the playoffs before this series, now cause of okc shit offensive system he averages 26ppg. How about you watch the games before commenting cause if you did you would know melo played good D for most of the series, pg13 was the one getting molested on defense by a janitor, adams was easily playing like the worst player on both starting lineups, and if Westbrook orchestrated the offense like he did in that one game where melo had 18 and he had 24 but pg13 was just off, okc would've wiped the floor with the jazz in 6 games max.

[@Booster37]

Be honest though. When you have a player like Westbrook, George, and Melo, do many even care who the coach is? Was he ever really brought up when these players were brought together? Does Westbrook ever fully commit to a drawn play? No. Is he part of the problem? Yes, but I saw more arguments from people about whether Harden and Paul can coexist on a D'Antoni coached team than I did about Donovan.

[@yusukeurameshi9933]

Yup people tend to forget that this superteam never played. Howard had serious back issues and could barely walk properly (let alone play BBall). I mean it was so bad that MWP couldn't believe Dwight stayed on the court and played that season. But people prefer to blame him because it's easier than looking for information. Kobe had to carry the team and ultimately injured himself right before the playoff. Of course this team couldn't compete. But they had excuses (there is nothing to do against all your key players facing major injuries). On the other OKC has no excuses for this pathetic season.

[@dmontae13]

Only thing I can say about Melo and Westbrook is the game has passed them by. The league isn’t dominated by athletic iso scorers anymore. It’s dominated by teams with great players in great offensive systems that use them to their peak efficiency. Even Lebron has realized that Iso ball won’t win a ring anymore because the game has almost passed him by too. So unless they can make a 180, WB will spend his days like Marc Gasol. Stuck in a bed of mediocrity until his body tells him no more.

[@babygoat_szn2548]

Demontae Woulard FACTS!!!!! I been saying this 🙄

[@ZeHydra]

Iso still works but you just have to be on that LBJ level to achieve it. There's only 2 players I've seen this year who can successfully run iso, Giannis and LBJ. Iso really needs the opponent team to be shooting bad and the player running iso to be strong, players like dame try to run iso and fail because they're easily locked down and don't provide much to defense.

[@ibad18]

Ze Hydra iso works with good facilitation as well Westbrook only panic passes out

[@bigpoppabotch3523]

Never thought of it like that, I think you're right. Russ is playing the style of a bygone era, the NBA is a lot quicker and more team play based these days, he hasn't caught up and probably never will

Fizdale got did dirty bc Zach gone, Conley got that big extension and got hurt just for Marc Gasol who scores like 9points and getting paid that much opens eyes about that organization. But A strong willed coach to sit Russ down and Teach him about improving his i.q

[@Jswizzle217]

People love to defend Russ because he puts ridiculous numbers if you only at the box score (and conveniently ignore the TO, FG%, and 3PT% columns). I don’t know what it is but people can’t seem to realize that Russel Westbrook is simply one of those players who does not make the team around him better. He scores a lot, and plays with intensity but it doesn’t make his teammate better. Just look at Steph Curry and what happens when he is on floor. Steph doesn’t even need to be playing well, just by virtue of being on the floor and forcing the defense pick up at 30 feet from the basket he provides so much spacing for all his teammates. And as much as I don’t like James Harden’s fishing for fouls style of play, it is undeniable that he makes everyone else on the floor with him play better. Russ can’t don’t do that and until he figures it out OKC isn’t going to contend.

Erik Lerström Do you actually watch Thunder games. Even with Westbrook on the beach they have subpar ball movement and mediocre predictable plays. That’s on the coach

[@flame1113]

Erik Lerström shouldnt okc be good when russ is on the bench then if it isnt coaching?..

[@nasirthesenatejohnson6935]

Why does everyone call a team with 3 all stars a super team? I'd never heard that term used until the 2010 Miami heat. There's been plenty of teams before that had 3 all stars and weren't ever referred to as a super team

[@tpoli5447]

Melon isn't even an all star nor an all star caliber player, hasn't been sonde 2013, 15 points 7 rebounds, and 2 assists on 40 percent shooting while being statically one the worst defenders in the leaugue, how is this guy even an starter, if his prime wasn't in New York and he didn't have such a catchy nickname, he wouldn't be referred to as a star

[@luigixroxas]

Season before joining the Thunder he average 24 points on almost 50, 40, 90 shooting and played all NBA defense. He's def a superstar and maybe top 10

Hes inefficient, bad on D, caused drama over ish smith playing better than him, and the only reason hes playing better is because hes no longer a bench player on a thunder team with two superstars lmao.

no its not billy is also to blame as he really didn't know what to do with his offense melo was playing terrible and inconsistent and he barley ever benched melo throughout the season and playoffs when they were playing better with him on the bench its russ fault as well since he is terrible on playing offball and heavily relies on having the ball in his hand but the coach is to blame as well

Anyone who thought the OKC Thunder wer a "superteam" simply fell for the sales hype. The 2018 OKC Thunder were not, and never should have been considered a "superteam". They had no starter quality power forward and a lackluster bench. One superstar and 2 second tier stars do not make a superteam. Add to the mix that OKC's goal was the Westbrook triple double exhibition show, NOT trying to contend.

[@chrismathgenius]

Honestly, Paul George was no longer a superstar then.

[@wyattnett6481]

One of the best videos i have ever seen about the nba really brings light to the thunders situation good shit!!!

[@justinsands4633]

you forgot to mention that melo is a liability on defense and one of the worst screen setters in the entire NBA. I have also seen a video of melo complaining that russ and steven adams steal all of his rebounds. Also, Andre Roberson doesn't get the acknowledgement that he deserves. he is a lockdown versatile defender. While he was playing, OKC was a top 3 defensive team in the league. After his injury, OKC gradually dropped down to 17th. Steven Adams also carried the team a great deal shooting with extremely high efficiency and being the best offensive rebounder in the league. Despite this, he is always modest in all of his interviews. Everyone looks at the "big 3" as being the key factor in their success or failure but its actually there teammates that have carried the load far more then people realize. Instead everyone focuses entirely on a teams 1 to 3 marquee players. Melo will be leaving OKC as soon as he is a free agent as he will expect a max salary but isn't worth it. he is an iso player and doesn't fit OKC's style of play at all i would trade him for sure. I am not trying to be "melo dramatic" thats just the truth of the situation

[@jeremiahgreenwood7505]

We did vs gsw in 2015 LOOOL he averaged 21 misses a game which is an NBA FINALS RECORD more shots u take the more energy u expend so anybody who thinks hed have the same fg shooting 20 shots a game as he would 30+ is a fool

[@ultrainstinctgrey9184]

jeremiah greenwood you're an idiot, despite seeing consistent triple teams and no other star to pass too LeBron broke records during that finals leading both teams in points rebounds and assists......he led in assists let that sink in that means he willingly distributed the ball despite playing with lesser talent. His true shooting percent was 45%

worst superteams ever 1. 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers - If you have a team consisting of Kobe, a 2 time MVP and the best center in the league, you must reach the finals or probably win a ring but because of bad team chemistry and injuries, this team became real shit. 2. 2013-2014 Brooklyn Nets - A team with aging but still decent Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and top 10 point guard in the league Deron Williams, adding Brook Lopez cause he was also a great center for the nets, you couldve atleast went to the conference finals and win alot for the next two seasons but 3 of those immediately left right after the season and probably the worst decision the Nets did. 3. 2003-2004 Los Angeles Lakera - I mean if you have 4 legends in one team, you couldve won a ring yet they lost to a "no name" pistons but really good in 5 games. 4. 2017-18 Oklahoma City Thunder - You know the deal, banana peel.

[@roskichan3001]

Actually the 2003- 2004 Lakers problem was injuries specially to Karl Malone who is good both on and off court teammate and also Gary Payton where old. Plus those two 'legends' where awfully old too out of their prime and what we called ring chasers. Plus the chemistry problem between Shaq and Kobe where so bad it's incredibly impressive how they played together...

Even a healthy Howard was trash you saw what he did in Houston for those next 3 years. He was defensive specialist and the Lakers d was trash then Gasol became our scapegoat even though he wasn’t the problem. Even if the team was fully healthy the Lakers would still have gotten sweeped by that San Antonio team
