Too much middle off the floor for okc. Not following the game plan.

Criminal that Julius only got 2 shot attempts up in the second half.

Holmgren has owned us for the 4th quarter going back to the late 3rd I think. Total domination.

I hate players like SGA that their entire game is based on trying to flail and draw fouls instead of just playing basketball. The league has to try to get that out of the game. Halliburton and Brunson also have similar aspects to their game. Unwatchable.

I know we got one or two stops in the fourth thus far, but you cannot make a comeback if you cannot get stops. The refs have allowed them to do exactly what I thought to us, (tripping, hacking, pushing, and backing us off.) All of that being true, a missed shot is a chance for OKC to get out and run. We keep missing our open 3s. When a team is struggling defensively the last thing they can do is go cold offensively. Perfect storm and it happened against a team appropriately named Thunder.

We need to win the last 7 minutes by 14 or more.

Jaylen is an insanely high iq defender..

Naw has proven himself as a playoff choker.

It shouldn't be this difficult. You can see it in Jaylen's eyes, that he is ready to go.

Well, it's best of seven. We really couldn't play worse team ball. Bench cost us the game for sure.

Game two will be a different story.

I'm not surprised we played this way tonight.
