Don't know. But apparently he was seen headed down to get them with some training staff. BD doesn't know what.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we traded Westbrook and he became a better player under another coach. I wouldn’t be surprised if we fired dononvan and we find out that he wasn’t as much to blame as we thought. This is a tough one for me. I hate our offense and I find Westbrook maddening to watch. Something has got to change.

What's wrong with team? I counted the issues. After 36 I stopped for the moment.

Try anything. Bring Melo off the bench. Shorten the rotation. Anything. Something has to happen.

I agree with Westbrook, this is his fault. Yep, I'm ready to go there. Actually not entirely but I'm on board with assigning him the blame. Also Donovan, I think he's trying to save his skin at this point with these comments post game tonight. Letting it slip in a very un-Thunder way that the players aren't executing 'his vision' or whatever.

If you take OKC right now, and you hide all the names on the jerseys, what do you see? Because here is what I see - a bottom-5 lottery-bound team that looks like it is playing for a paycheck and little else. Their sense of purpose and commitment is spiraling to the point where they can barely outplay a lottery team even for a single quarter.

I have not loved the way RW has played. That said RW while in the game is +7 per 100 for the year.

I think what is around the big 4 needs to be addressed. OKC has played 1400 minutes with a player with a sub 10 PER. That is just insane when you consider those players also are not making wide open 3 pointers. As of now OKC has a lot of players who are not NBA rotation players.

Lol.

I was watching the game and the score was 80-100. Suddenly the league pass stream skipped ahead 103-117 or something like that. Saved me the trouble.

Chemistry must be beyond terrible.

To add to that - we're 1-12 when losing the 3rd quarter. Where's the fire in this team? Why don't they fight back when the going gets rough?

No! **** that! He doesn't get to cop out by throwing his team under the bus! Get his trash ass back to college and hire somebody who's not in over his head. This is like the 10th time in just slightly over two years we've looked like a dead team. But sure, the players are not 'seeing his vision '. Take your trash vision back to College and leave us be.

Wait, BD is still the coach ? Thunder organization still hasn't fired him ? I thought I was gonna read that first when i wake up here in Europe ...

Whose fault is it that the players ain't buyin in ?

Whose fault is it that the players aren't put in a different situation than the one where they showed they can't perform their best ?

That idiot was talking about how he likes to put his players in discomfort situations, is this one of those discomforts ?

Yeah, great job ...
