Another moral loss. We will lose our next two. I'd bank on it.

Corey Brewer welcome to Oklahoma City, where even the winning feels like losing.

There really is no point in keeping George if Melo is still here.

Great defensive addition in Brewer, you guys. There is still hope 8-)

It's really too bad that coaching does matter. How many points did we give up by switching without there being any need to? 15? Great stuff, as always.

Help is one the way...lmao. Corey Brewer who is on a 4 year downslide in what is obviously the last waning years of his career is averaging only 3.7 points and shooting 18% on 3s (even worse than Roberson) this year. He shoots 42% overall for his career and 28% on 3s and is one of the worst rotational players in the league at this point. This team has two personnel needs...a shooting guard who is a two way player that can step in and take the starting spot or a backup center/power forward who can score and rebound. Why in the hell are they signing a wing player who sucks balls on offense and that is almost out of the league? That's why this team is struggling with the amount of talent they have because they don't have a well rounded roster and that goes on the GM. He has amassed by far the worst collection of shooting guards in the NBA and they have only one big man in Adams. I have no idea what in the world they think Brewer is going to do for this team. :banghead:

Felton has, at points, saved our season from being a complete disaster. Has a great knack for making shots that takes us back into games.

Just imagine if we had to roll with Semaj or Canaan instead.

Not to mention the game going to OT due to the opposing center getting an easy offensive rebound...While Steven Adams was out trying to guard two players on the perimeter.

Our switching defense is excellent. We should always do it, no matter what happens on the court.

Adams would average Andre Drummond rebounding numbers if we left our center under the basket.

Can't tell which team was trying to tank.

I'm not too mad about last night's win. Sometimes regardless of the team, it's nice to win after a grit and grind type of game and I would bet some of the players have that same type of gratification.

Whoever has played sports can relate to this. Teams with nothing to lose are out for blood.

Scrub teams in the NFL can knockout the power house on any given Sunday, the NBA is no different in my opinion. Dirk is old, but he's still an NBA legend. Bad passing and turnovers in the 3rd quarter bit the Thunder, but last night was a win on the road.

Ugly win for sure....keep them coming. Nobody is consistent right now outside golden State and houston really.
