Other than that, I just can't watch anymore OKC basketball until the playoffs. I need a mental break. This is the most frustrating team I've ever watched play bar none.

Advice from personal experience, it really helps. I'm shockingly not upset anymore after losses. It's whatever. I just want it over :).

Honestly anyone. Just so it's entertaining again. I'd take a local HS coach.

I'm learning not to get my hopes up with this franchise right now, so not really setting a bar. I've reached a breaking point.

Also, Houston fans are still the worst. I'm actually rooting for GSW over them.

houston has several of my favorite players. harden, paul, moute, wright, nene. golden state has kd but no one else i ever really liked or rooted for. harden and paul have been two of my favorite stars of the last 10-15 seasons so i'd root for houston. i also like d'antoni and morey.

I kinda like Paul, used to kinda like Harden until last year, and can't stand Morey. MDA seems cool. I liked Paul more in LA. They're really deep and good. But fans are the worst by far.

fans don't really factor into it for me. something about the way houston plays just resonates with me too. it's a highly tuned and ordered operation, but not so esoteric as gsw's weave. it's like watching a shark or another apex predator that's perfectly suited to its environment.

If I never heard from their fans I probably wouldn't mind them. That's a huge factor to me. But they're the most bitter and hateful 60 win team's fans I've ever seen Oh and they're way too into themselves and like to trash other players. Also kinda think Harden got overrated now. I'll just say it even though I know you won't agree. Also the highly tuned-ness is taken too far, like it's not even a game.

Remember when we made free throws? Good times.

15-27 on free throws...that's 55%. 12-32 shooting from Westbrook and another ridiculous 3 pointer with the game tied and seconds left. Rinse, lather and repeat.

MDA was my side back in the seven seconds or less Suns days. If Houston does win it I'll be happy for that alone, that he'll finally have some vindication.

This. There’s one guy who seems to immerse himself in every OKC loss like a pig in mud.

Your team has the best record in the league. Your focus is on a team that may choke their way out of the playoffs?

And that # is 71.1%.

Yesterday they shot 56%

So even for the 29th ranked team, they were extremely poor

Make 71.1% is 4 more makes.

4 more makes and you likely have a W.

They have to win out & that seems very unlikely.

What are you talking about, this is the third best team in the NBA :lol:

Still think they are. I don't think anyone but houston or golden state can beat them 4 out of 7.
