In order I want :
1. Our team to play as well as last game
2. Spurs not hitting 90% from 3's
3. Refs not screwing us

Seriously speaking, not confident that we will play as well as last game but we will see. Hope Adams is really healthy.

Our lack of shooting gets really freaking old.

48 hours later and the Spurs are still throwing up some bunk and making it.

Dennis Schroder is maybe my least favorite thunder player ever. I don’t care if he scores thirty points the next three quarters. I find no redeemable qualities in him.

And just like that it's a 7 point game again.

We can't get over the 2-5 point hump.

This crap is so frustrating. We're on our way to a 4th straight loss. The Spurs are red hot, they have our number, and we're in a tailspin.

Oh, and Schroder really, REALLY sucks.

This is worse than the Waiters 6th Man days.

After every game we have to add another pick to be able to get rid of him (glad I heard he was going to Dallas)

Schroder wily throws up a disgusting shot trying to score 1 on 4

If he can play like playoff Dion Waiters, I'm fine with that

We shouldn’t blame Dennis. This is on Presti.

Despite being ridiculously slow, Nader might be developing in to a decent rotation player. He’s slow but he continues to produce.

The Spurs are killing us on the offensive glass. They're still shooting well from the 3P line, but when they do actually miss tonight, they're getting an offensive rebound almost every time.

I wouldn’t mind if the maniac screaming girl would suddenly come down with strep throat.

I was actually ignorantly optimistic about this game. I thought there's no way in hell we'd lose to the Spurs again 48 hours after losing a double OT thriller in San Antonio in a game where the refs royally screwed us over in the 4th quarter and overtimes.

I thought we'd come out tonight angry and focused.

Nope, 5+ minutes to go in the 2nd quarter and we're down by 13. It's Thursday night all over again.

I was pessimistic because we played well at San Antonio despite losing the game :(

Let me preface this by saying I'm a UNC basketball fan, Razorback fan (all sports), Colts fan, and obviously a Thunder fan.

This is shaping up to be the most painful single day for me as a sports fan maybe ever.

- UNC gets blown out at home by Louisville to start the day.

- Colts get embarrassed by the Chiefs this afternoon.

- Arkansas lost to LSU at home in OT.

- And now the Thunder are getting beat soundly by the Spurs in the Peake.


I'ts been a very painful 9 hours (and counting).
