I don't want this but I'm gonna have to accept it. Every other team is winning. Even without their stars. It blows my mind how much talent gets marginalized since Brooks left.

Great hire. He's doing one hell of a job as a tank commander ever since he took over.

He has. Thus season has been one of the toughest as a fan I can remember. He makes it so much harder to watch.

Loosing doesn't always mean an inferior product in sports. Tanking is needed when the team is stuck in purgatory. Purgatory is the inferior product. The goal should always be to be a legitimate contender or have a top 5 pick. There are very few times you want a season to result in anything else.

I'm not sure firing Brooks was his worst mistake, but hiring Donovan to replace him could be. Brooks shouldn't have been fired. There was no coach out there that was likely to be an upgrade and Presti hired an idiot that makes Brooks look like Pop.

That is ONE coach that was out there and he may or may not have wanted to coach OKC. I'm also not convinced he's a better coach then Brooks.

We’re going to have to hope for the jazz to go on another ten game winning streak if we want to keep our pick. It looks like a first round matchup against the warriors or spurs is a a decent possibility but I don’t see how we can miss the playoffs without a significant injury occurring.

2 more losses incoming. The tank is still very much alive.

OKC has the 3rd highest tax bill. The fact that a lottery pick is even a possibility should make people realize this season is a failure.

Most of us are just desperate for happiness. For some that means believing this team is built for the playoffs. For others it’s hoping we salvage something by missing the playoffs.

I just kinda stopped caring. I hate to say it but I've become indifferent. There's no way out unless George stays.
