thunderstruck87 yeah they seem to only be happy when were winning. its really annoying to see us down by 2 points and then its END OF THE WORLD MAN~ GAME OVER! shesh. We cannot possibly win EVERY GAME. What the trolls dont understand is that they arent the ones out there on the road playing games in other peoples environments, while putting their bodies through hell every night.

MumoBlack like i've said 100 times over, i love this team, and wouldn't trade it for any group of athletes in the NBA.. but sometimes it is difficult to sugar coat a loss, especially when it wasn't an issue of being outplayed, but of truly falling apart all on our lonesome selves.. issues that have plagued us for some time now are not being addressed, and players are behaving and portraying flaws that should have been at the very least adjusted or limited by now.. i have every faith that this team will be just fine, and that this is by no means a sign of some crippling fallout, but it is a sign that we need to step up and start executing with some higher BBIQ and working as a team to address problems like turnovers and offensive execution to a point where there are noticeable changes in a game atmosphere

Ruben T i get how because he runs the site he doesnt want to be negative everyday, neither would i... but still, Brooks gives people a pass to much... but maybe instead of saying fire brooks we should be thinking who we could replace him with

mjokc88 Like i said before there is only 3 dominant centers in this league perkins is useless at this point. he cant play defense anyway.

bmuelle2112 In transition taking stupid shots and charges rather then setup halfcourt.

bmuelle2112 Russ if its not clear cut path to basket PULL IT OUT!

ThunderWinsbmuelle2112 lately hes been good with that soome reason today he was sloppy.

How many charges did he have today?

2-3 i think

bmuelle2112 UNACCEPTABLE!

JamesChurch We can also lose to any team as much as we turn the ball over.

JamesChurch We can beat anyteam in the league the problem is, CAN WE BEAT ANYTEAM IN A 7 GAME SERIES

Lost OnesJamesChurch We cannot if Denver and Memphis are not NBA teams

shikiJamesChurch we beat a post melo denver and a 8th seed grizzlies not anything to be proud of. We automatically take losses with being outcoached but outplayed as well? cmon

Lost Onesshiki Post Melo Denver is clearly the better Denver. Memphis had just knocked off the Spurs and were playing unbelievable ball. We can take Portland. It should never have come to that call last time we played. We can take the Spurs when we're awake. We can take anyone in 7 games. I feel better over 7 games. The Thunder's problems are awareness and lack of focus. When you have the same opponent, those aren't as difficult. We're not playing shitty 3 point defense for 7 games against the Spurs. And nobody is stopping our offense if it's on. On the one hand, low assists is a pain. But on the other, what team can lock down Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden at the same time?

JamesChurchshiki No way we beating the spurs or the clippers with our pnr defense you out of your damn mind. any team that runs a pnr is destroying us take off your glasses breh.

Lost Onesshiki We can take the Clippers and Spurs. We smashed the Spurs, then they smashed us. The Clippers were absurd from the 3 point line, and at their home. I don't know what breh is.

JamesChurchLost Onesshiki Without Ginolbi or a healthy Parker...

They run sets and hit 3s we would struggle to beat them.

Lost OnesJamesChurch But one of them got 50 wins,the other got 46 wins.They were better than any teams Bulls won last year.

ThunderWinsJamesChurchLost Ones Thabo had several great games against Manu.And if their 3p shooting can be great as regular,why didnt we play against them last playoff?

JamesChurch Run actual sets, Take care of the ball, play a complete game on defense and offense.

Is that too much to ask?

ThunderWins We've been running sets. End of games is better. Our defense is still on and off, but it's there. Focus issues are the best kind of issues, because they can be fixed. Nothing is unable to be fixed this season.

JamesChurch Those are some funny sets were 1 or 2 people touch the ball no movement.

BAD OFFENSE if you can actually call it offense.

JamesChurch Key words being "locked in and on". The Thunder are too inconsistent as to when they play like that.

Arent Playoffs will be different. They play differently when they're up for a big game.

shiki Durant has his moments where i still have to remind myself that he has a lot of room to grow.. the guy has got to learn to move without the ball, as it is what undoubtedly killed us in the WC finals last year.. standing in the high post well defended and hoping to catch a one handed pass and turn it into points every time is not an offensive strategy.. he does very little to create separation without the ball in his hands and without that it becomes even more difficult to get the ball into his hands without creating a turnover

ChilamBilam12 He can improve his skill by training,and we all see he is better although he is one of top players now.Russ is the same.

We just need a coach to tell them how to play team basketball.It is very disappointment to see our final minutes to be ISO show of KD and Russ.It is not players' fault because they played as coach said.

J on your Bs OoO

walrusmuse Every win this entire road trip should have been a loss if you dont see that idk what else to tell you.

Lost Oneswalrusmuse Seriously? Argh. Every loss could have been a win as well.

I want all those same things, I see the issues just like we all do. It's frustrating for sure to watch all the isos, the turnovers when it inevitably forces someone into a bad shot or bad dribble or bad in-air pass.

Yet the criticism here go beyond thoughtful, and at time brutally honest stuff to "i hope we lose" kinds of nonsense and I'm saying there are better teams to root for and spend time on boards for if you like losing so much.

i walrusmuseit's not the loss walrus.. i can handle losing, and yes they happen to every team no matter how talented or well coached, but it is how they are losing that is killing everyone.. it isn't the kind of basketball that we are accustomed to seeing, and it isn't just a one game hiccup either, it is becoming a plague of very poor decision making and turnovers that will cost us a playoff series if we don't fix the issues quickly

walrusmuse Its a fine balance here, we aren't upset about this loss as we hate the trend that we have not diverted from.

We play good on talent alone not good BBQ at all

ThunderWinswalrusmuse i just want more assists than turnovers...

thats not too much to ask

RodneyRosavelRusanWilsonwalrusmuse No especially when they are stupid unforced ones.

ThunderWinsRodneyRosavelRusanWilsonwalrusmuse I have no problem with the bad pass turnovers. but seeing perkins ask for it in the high post dribble through his leg then throw up a elbow everygame is demoralizing

ThunderWinswalrusmuse honestly, im wishing kd didnt play all that pickup ball and spent that time with personal coaches and doing drills.... i think it has to do with his poor free throw shooting and lazy turnovers

i guess all young players have a summer like that... at least he was balling and not making movies...

oh wait....
