Two full years of Patterson and it's been a complete and utter disaster with him. I loved the signing when we got him, too. And he just starts sucking as soon as he put on a Thunder jersey.

Can't believe we're getting soundly beat by a Pelicans team in complete disarray and with Davis giving about 10%. I mean the entire Pelicans organization wants him on the bench; who knows how much locker room tension that is causing, and here they are beating us like a drum.

If we will just play defense and not turn the ball over, we will win.

It's still a game because of Noel/Felton

And it's going result in a loss against a bad team in all kinds of disarray.

Really frustrating. Russ probably won't have this efficient of a high-volume scoring game again until April.

We just can’t get any stops. We just trade baskets.

PG13 2/13 from 3. That hurts.

First game I don't blame Russ for taking that many 3's. Teammates aren't moving.

This is why I wanted jrue. He’s basically Paul George as a guard.

Jrue has torched Ferguson all night. Let’s put Noel in because Adams is worthless right now,

I like Ferguson being more aggressive but he’s needs to slow it a little bit. That wasn’t a good shot. He took a step back long two earlier that was contested. He’s not that elite of a shooter yet.

I didn't watch. Did Adams just get totally embarrassed by Randle? Or was it something else?

Really frustrating way to go into the break. I don't know why, but going into the break under 20 losses would've been really satisfying. This one stings. It's our 20th loss, we lost to a bad team in complete disarray, and now we have to sit on this for 8 days.

If Adams isn’t healthy, rest him. This is a joke. The dude sucks right now and is a non factor.

Maybe the week long break will do Adams some good. He's been garbage lately.

Yep and our schedule will be brutal. We still have some separation with Rockets and Blazers but not that much :(

Well at least Russ showed he's still physically able to attack the paint almost as he used to.
