Seriously, this. 

Both teams were feverishly trying to give the game away. 

I'll take the ones we can get. 

Exactly. I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, but they usually lose games like this. No lead is safe until the young players play smarter

He's shooting poorly enough and turning it over often enough to keep my expectations somewhat in check. 

He's already so fucking good on D, though. And hasn't shown anything to think his decision-making and shotmaking won't improve. 

I think the turnovers last night were a bit of an anomaly because OKC has such ridiculous perimeter defenders: SGA, Wallace, Dort, Caruso, Williams. They are the best in the league as a group, and maybe the best I can remember in recent memory. No weak links. And without Wemby or Vassell, there aren't many relief valves or anyone else to create shots. He had to force it a good bit.

The outside shooting was off even when he got good looks, but he had been on fire from three over the previous five games. I loved it that he had the confidence to take and make that last three after throwing up so many bricks. It was a huge shot and what a confidence builder. He also didn't get any favorable calls. The rookie treatment kept him off the line probably 3-4 times.

And still, he just kept playing through it all. 8 assists while taking SGA head on all night. Kid is just a winner.
