OKC drops to 5-2 but I'll take it with the tough early schedule. Scott Brooks needs to find answers on offense because the ball movement has been stagnant all year.
We looked a lot worse at this time last year so hopefully things improve after a few days off.

You guys need another scoring option. They probably need to move Harden into the starting lineup.

That's what everyone keeps saying but I like Harden off the bench as long as he plays 32-35 minutes. Harden did start tonight as Sefalosha was out with the flu. Our main problem this season is Russ' shot isn't falling. Tonight Durant couldn't find the basket. We just looked tired. We played in Dallas and Portland had the day off. It's going to happen to everyone with the way the schedule is set up. We'll be one of the better teams when it's all said and done IMO. I think we have the players but I question our offensive flow for sure.

Ouch.
I said at the time Jeff Green being traded would let Harden take shots. We've been a better team since that trade and now Perk looks like a player as well.
I definitely wouldn't object if someone wanted to trade us a low post scorer :-)

Where does Harden fit in, though? Who's starting above him right now?
From what I saw in the playoffs last year and in two Thunder games this year (1st Mavs game and Minnesota) he's a consistent beast that needs to see the court more. I assume Durant is playing the 3 so they can free up the guards, yeah?

Good point. If you take Harden off the 2nd team then you really don't have a scoring option coming off the bench.

Barkley, a mainstay in the TNT studio, which is located adjacent to Philips Arena, will work courtside alongside play-by-play man Kevin Harlan and analyst Reggie Miller.
Chris Webber will step in for Barkley in TNT's studio.
Wolves look like poop for first 7 minutes. Get outscored 18-6.
Rubio comes in, they start to play defense and operate a real offense.
Adelman is a refreshing coaching change for this team and all, but he sounds like Scott Pioli with all his "evaluation period" bullshit he keeps talking about.
