It looks like the last 2 games have made it very clear what OKC's approach should be going forward.
Carmelo is the distant third piece out of this "Big" 3.
Russ is and Russ and PG is a legitimate superstar and top 7 player in the NBA. Those are the guys you want carrying the team and the guys that you design plays for.
Carmelo is still a good offensive player. He can still create and make his own shot, and if he gets into a rhythm, he can give you a 30 point game on any given night. But he is no longer a dominant offensive player and OKC shouldn't spend much time trying to force the issue with him.
Let him get his shots as they come, but there's no need to continue on trying to figure out how to get all 3 guys involved. You design the offense around Russ and PG, and just let Melo get his shots as they come naturally.
Do that, and OKC have a great chance to find themselves in the WCF.
