Refs already screwing us. How was that continuation on the Thomas shot? Lucky to only be down 3.

We rely too much on PG13's offense..if he's off there's no way we beat a top 6 team in the West.

Is Russ just completely incapable of playing like anything other than dog **** against Denver at this point? Its like he wants to prove he's better than Murray and just forces it all game long.

Another game against the Nuggets...another loss.

We figure out how to exorcise our demons against the Blazers and start finally figuring out how to beat them but it coincides with us not being able to beat the Nuggets. Ever.

He had a good first quarter then he totally lost his mind. His frustration made him playing dumb basketball :(

Even if we hold on to the 3-seed, all we'll have waiting for us (if we can win our first round series) is a second round match-up with the Nuggets which will be over in 4 or 5 games. Really puts a damper on the season once you start thinking about it.

Yes, but it is more than just Denver and Murray. Last year in the playoffs he tried to turn it into a game of one on one with him and Rubio. Rubio used this to set up Russ and let him team take care of it. OKC is only a potential 2nd round team if PG is the best player on the team. When he is having a bad game, like tonight, or Russ doesn't let his teammates do their job and forces the issue himself OKC isn't good enough to get out of the first round. In the playoffs team will plan their defense slowing down PG and daring Russ to shoot jumpers. It will work because Russ won't accept that kind of disrespect and will shoot OKC out of games trying to prove he can do something everyone knows he can't.

Why does that only put a damper on it now? I thought making the playoffs and seeing what happened was enough? You might not have said it, but that has been the view of most Thunder fans since the baby ran off to daddy Draymond. The Russ triple double show and a few playoff games is what most OKC fans are happy with.

This is the difference between a well coached high IQ basketball team, and one that relies on talent. We cannot overcome the stupidity of guys like Westbrook.

Relax, there will be another win streak soon, once we get through the latest poor patch.

Refs have taken over the game and got OKC back into the game and the Nuggets are quitting like they always do. Glorious! Nice comeback!
