Lol now the refs are getting involved.

4 three shot fouls in one game. Good to know our IQ matches our ability.

IDK why Cole is in the rotation again i swear his rotation always changes he doesn't stick to one off the bench needs to be Abrinies, Mcdermott, Kanter, Christon and the rest you use to make adjustments (mostly defensively) if need be.

Donovan is gonna do whatever the hell Westbrook wants and what works with our multitude of one way players!
But I understand everyone's point,give McDermott a chance and Huestis for the hell of it. We gotta fix our tactics

Great lineups by Donovan.

Worst part is that Russ played like ****. Already knew we'd get destroyed, but now there's more ammo for the haters.

Oladipo is 1-11. I'm not even sure he's good enough to be a third option.

I don't think Russ would mind some actual coaching. He really liked brooks.

I wish someone in the media would go after Donovan and call him on some of this crap. Our pick and roll defense is not even amateur.

I think I'm going to be most disappointed when we run it back with the same roster next year. Especially when Oladipo and Adams are our second and third best players.

Damn, hate to say it but going back to the last regular season game and now tonight this Houston matchup is reminding me of a sort of less extreme version of the Golden State matchup for us. Wet just don't have the firepower to keep pace with elite offenses and our defense isn't good enough to fundamentally change that calculus.

We haven't even scored 30 points since halftime.

It just doesn't matter. He's presti's guy, and there's no way in hell he admits he screwed up.

Honest question, is this version of Adams better than enes? I think I'd rather play Kanter 18 million than Adams 25.

We just completely fell apart in the 2nd half, we can compete with them, we won't shoot this poorly next game.

They won't fire him since you made the playoffs. It would take a bad playoff showing and at least an underachieving start next year to get the media narrative on your side.
