Exhibit A of why Willie should be fired. Dyson at one point was in the top 5 on ball defenders in the league.

Hawkins got you 35 in one game and you said he's like ray allen Willie.

YOU frickING BENCHED RAY ALLEN WILLIE. frick YOU

Dyson can’t play offense and Hawk can’t play defense.

I would understand this if we just lost in a hard fought 6 or 7 game series. But it’s asinine that they didn’t get any real run in a series we got swept in and looked bad in every game. This team’s biggest strength was its depth, we lost our starter minutes all year.

Now, a smart coach would understand that when rotations shorten in the playoffs, having depth gives you an advantage because it allows you to be versatile and adapt when the situation dictates.

Instead of using this advantage, Willie played the same guys every game, emphasizing our weakness.

I love Jose, but he was 4/23 and averaged 2.5 points in this series. You HAVE to play Dyson. There is no excuse for Jose to get 3x as many minutes as Dyson

Hawk played last night and the 4 minutes we saw was enough. He took some ugly ugly shots. The moment looked too big for him. Then the president of the NBPA lead a fast break with a chance to take a 7 point lead, didn't pass the ball, and missed a layup. After which, Oklahoma City went on an 18-2 run. It is what it is. Jordan Hawkins and Dyson Daniels weren't going to make a bit of difference.

I like Dyson, but imagine if Duren, Mark Williams or even Tari Eason was the pick. The FO needs to address needs and quit drafting wings that aren’t going to play.

I remember when we beat Denver with Dyson starting at PG. Not playing Dyson in this series was criminal.

Yeah you would think in a series where your team averages like 80 ppg, you would throws some shooters in the lineup lmao
