It's rated M.


M for Müll (=garbage)?

Just because someone is disappointed or negative doesn’t mean they aren’t a fan. Tonight was a bad loss. A VERY bad loss.

someone here said "i hate this team" lol then don't be a fan go bandwagon the dubs lol

I do hate this team. Like Knrstz said, I don't hate the franchise. I'm allowed to hate a single iteration of our team. I hated last year's team, too. Most Thunder fans did. Last season sucked. It was incredibly disappointing. Somehow, just three games into this season, it looks like this team and this season may be even more sucky and even more disappointing.

Heck, Russ and George combined for 61 points on 23/41 shooting and we still lost by double digits to a bottom three team.

Patterson and Ferguson means no production from 40% of the starters.

Growing pains? Lol Westbrook is thirty years old. Billy is in his fourth season. Besides terd Ferguson, the guy who should be going through growing pains, diallo, is a bright spot.


Yes. Growing pains.

We are scratching the surface of what this team can be with the new additions. Also, having no Roberson definitely puts more of a load on everyone. That’s the silver lining of it all. The entire team has to be better on defense if they want to succeed. And they will be, but it will take some time. The offense is also going to look a lot different with Schroder playing off of Westbrook and vice versa.

People are just really impatient. This is going to be a process for everyone.

Diallo played more minutes than Ferguson. That's a step in the right direction. Took Donovan this long to figure that out.

At least the Pelicans are good.

How does this apply to the thunder but not to literally every other team? If we're going to get more comfortable so is everyone else.

Dude we didn’t play the warriors. We ought to be able to beat the kings without russ and George. Expectations are an ok thing to have.
