Adams can’t match up with any center in our division.

That may be true, but he looks like hell all the way around tonight.

A lot of the respect I gave Russ from last season is going away with this piss poor effort on defense. There is no excuse for this.

I’m actually starting to get pretty tired of Westbrook’s histrionics.

I'm not watching tonight, but it looks like we're predictably on our way to a 4-5 record after yet another loss to a "good" team. If our opponent doesn't suck, then right now they'll almost assuredly beat us.

I don’t like this team. If we can’t play any better than this I how it falls apart and we rebuild. Low IQ, selfish basketball.

We won 47 games last year with Westbrook and mostly scrubs. We may not even win 45 this year with Russ, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony.

How is that possible?

Westbrook with another frustration foul, then a turnover. So careless.

We are beyond terrible OMG.
PG13 looks like a rookie and Westbrook is the worst superstar so far this season

George has the slowest crossover I’ve ever seen.

Let’s start Felton the next game.

This is one of those games that as a coach, I would send a message and sit the starters in the 4th. But I think the coach probably needs to sit out the 4th too.

If nothing else, leave Russ on the bench.
