Ok, I knew we started the year off something like 0-7 in close games.

The recent close losses to the Celtics, Blazers, Spurs, and now Nuggets (all playoff teams and/or teams above .500) makes it feel like we're back to our early season struggles in close games.

Regardless, I stand by this:

F**k. This. Team.

Home game at the most pivotal point of the season against an inferior team, playing for a shot at HCA in the 1st round of the playoffs, and we can't close it out in the final minute of regulation with a three point lead and go on to lose in OT.

Again, f**k this team.

you done with your tantrum ?

Go ahead. Paint me a pretty picture on this crap team and crap season. You can't. No one can.

But I'd love to see you try and explain to me how there's anything worth being optimistic about when it comes to the Thunder.

We absolutely had to go 1-1 in this back-to-back. We had every opportunity and then some to go 2-0, instead we're 0-2 and 1st round series (and sweep) against the Rockets or Warriors seems inevitable.

Blame the fans for the players performance. Seems fair.

Are you sure they are an inferior team? OKC is 1-3 against Denver.

It’s amazing the breaks this team gets. New Orleans blew a lead to Cleveland tonight. It will probably be another loss consequence in the standings.

They could get lucky and have a lottery pick that ends up top 3 and get a franchise player to pair with Ferguson and Adams as the next generation of Thunder basketball emerges over the next few years.

That doesn’t make the fans frustration with the team wrong or unjustified.

Guess Russ' pull-up three pointers in a close, winnable game last night that resulted in a loss didn't deter him from displaying the same dumba**ery tonight.

Me right now: “Paul George is a tad overrated and although I hope he stays, I’ll be ok if he moves on.”
Me next year: “wow Paul George really is a star. It’s a shame we didn’t figure out a way to maximize his talent.”

Yep. Already fooled us with Oladipo.

What's funny is, we drew that up after a timeout.

Only thing I’m upset with is the pelicans loss and the fact the clippers play Portland. If we’re going to make a run at a draft pick, it would be nice if our efforts were rewarded.

We didn't draw up s**t. Or, if Donovan did actually draw up something worth a damn, Russ did typical stupid late-game-Russ crap and ignored it to try and play hero.

I love Russ. He'll forever be my favorite NBA player...ever. However, he's still highly frustrating and, regardless of whatever light you try to paint him in, his extreme level of confidence has a tendency to rear its ugly head in the form of incredibly stupid play in late, close games.

I don't even care about the pick. I kinda just want the season over. This team is miserable, I've enjoyed watching non Thunder games so much more this year.
