Here’s my simple answer: he doesn’t have NBA legs yet. Shit would be like putting say Tatum over in the Euroleague and expecting him to cause havoc the first few games in.

If we’re in Jan and Micic still ain’t playing, I’m going to sound alarms. If it’s next month and he still ain’t playing, I’m going to raise eyebrows. Last night??? Micic wasn’t going to save the Thunder, who was turning it over or getting off-rhythm what seemed to be every damn possession.

Someone like Wiggins would have stabilized more than Lindy. If Kenny was healthy, he’d helped slow it down. It was as if the Thunder was trying to keep pace with a team who is starting to master the pace we want to achieve.

Micic would have wanted to push alongside the Kings and would have fell into the same trap. It reminds me of Bertans the prior game trying to microwave shots from 3 - it wasn’t working.

Side note: Damn, Dieng looks like he needs another year in the lab as he has had a slow start. He too was looking a bit RUSHED.
