Scotty Brooks OKC Thunder Set Play | Santa Clara Play of the Day
Scotty Brooks and the OKC Thunder run a lot of Isolation Heavy offense and here is a great set play for Kevin Durant to get a three. It’s something that you need to take a look at. The OKC Thunder have been extremely frustrating for the fans the past couple of years. They have Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook who are easily the two of top five best players in the NBA. The OKC thunder have Serge Ibaka, a well-rounded power forward, they have Reggie Jackson, a starting point guard on many teams and probably a candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year award. The OKC Thunder have young talent and depth with players like Steven Adams, Jeremy Lamb, Anthony Morrow, Andre Roberson, and others. Sure, they play in an ultra-competitive Western Conference, but with the talent that Sam Presti has assembled, why aren’t they better?
Injuries have played a heavy part of the OKC Thunder not capturing an NBA Championship. I personally prefer to watch Golden State Warriors or the San Antonio Spurs on offense, because they move the ball to creat open shots. Durant and Westbrook can go 1 on 1, they are that good at getting their own shot. But, the shots are nothing like you see with the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spur who make three or four passes before taking a quality shot.
