Yeah, despite the victory over the Pacers, they looked really sloppy and ill-fitting. It may be trite to say that they didn't so much beat the Pacers as survive them, or that the Pacers lost the game more than the Thunder won it, but I feel the sentiment is accurate nevertheless.
I can't fault the Thunder for rolling the dice on trading for PG13 and Melo. It's all about stacking your team as much as possible right now, and George and Westbrook are in their prime. Melo is past his, but he's still more than serviceable. Unfortunately, all three are players who need the ball in their hands, and I'm not sure Billy Donovan is the guy to figure out how to make it work on the court, or manage their egos and personalities. They took a chance that most teams probably would under the same circumstances, but that's a lineup that works a lot better in video games than real life.
