    Time for Donovan to go

    You’re up 9 with four minutes left and you’re in the huddle telling the team to keep pushing the pace.

    OKC proceeds to miss for consecutive threes and lets Boston go on a 16-1 run to end the game.

    Why keep jacking threes early in the shot clock when your a horrible theee point shooting team?

    It’s their philosophy to let anyone but Adams jack threes and they’re one of the worst teams in the league from downtown.

    I don’t expect OKC to win anything but 0-4 isn’t acceptable.

    OKC is very good at drafting and not bad at free agency. not so good at hiring coaches. he was overwhelmed from day 1. dont think he's ever been comfortable coaching russ. or even attempting to.

    No kidding. In a make or break year, when they blew a 3-1 lead to GSW, they bring in a college coach to lead NBA super stars....

    He had been a deer in headlights ever since. Even Pitino and Calipari has issues in the NBA.

    Presti brought in the wrong guy.

    Kevin Durant
    Russell Westbrook
    James Harden
    Paul George
    Victor Oladipo
    Steven Adams
    Serve Ibaka
    Reggie Jackson

    You had theee hall of Famers and multiple all-stars on a small market team which never happens and Presti f*cked it up.

    For all the praise he has gotten for drafting three MVPs consecutively....he has really swing and missed on some other draft picks

    Cam Payne
    Cole Aldrich
    Perry Jones
    Mitch McGary
    Etc

    I was honestly stunned when they decided to keep him after last season's trainwreck. It's obvious he's way in over his head in this league.

    He isn't the only problem though. The roster they've put together around Russ PG and Adams is a complete joke. It's like Presti goes out of his way to keep finding these bums. Every year there's a new version of Sefolosha, Thabeet and Perkins.

    They had 2 good possesions when Abrines scored 2 threes and then never touched the ball but Russ.. he kept taking horrible shots,hitting front rim every possesion.. He was not hot and kept forcing..PG was the same.. Agree, Donovan is not getting it done.. Wasn't even going to take OKC and killed my parlay with Portl and over and lakers ML.. And I like OKC...ughh

    Texans -7.5
    Texans/Dolphins over
    Boston Bruins ML
    OKC +1

    He has a good rapport with the two stars so they had to keep him. No one thought George would return -would have been even less likely without a coach in place.

    Agree he's an idiot, AND gutless. Didn't have the balls to bench Anthony last season. Took him 4 games this season to realise that Grant should be starting over washed-up Patterson. This is inexcusable.

    I will say he did well last game; starting Grant and having Abrines - the only one that can make an open shot consistently on this team - on the floor in crunch time.
