That post up turnaround fall away from Lonzo was beyond terrible.

The footwork was good but the shot was way off. His release is weird.

[CobraCommander]

Houston ruined the NBA...they got Denver coming out saying ...90 in a half...HOLD MY BEER!

[BeatDaCavs420]

Guys don't forget I bet the nuggets

Be prepared to witness the comeback of all comebacks

I thought the footwork was weird as well.

Denver...GAME OVER ALReady.... 18-0...send Cousins to DC already

Remember when the Thunder had a 23 point lead and lost?

My bank account does

As a thunder fan: Don't bet on the thunder. That Sac loss should have scared you away from ever trusting them.

Ingram doing work

That footwork was not good at all..and the fact he couldnt post up a dude thats like 5'5 170 is embarrassing.

I’m a wiz fan...i expect bad loses to bad teams...

Here it comes!

Denver doing a Denver....

Westbrook/PG/Melo is just not a good match together.

OKC wouldve been better off not trading for Melo

uh so if melo wasn’t here then pg and Russ shooting 10-38 would of won them the game? Ok gotcha

I just meant overall. PG and Russ would've been a more efficient duo alongside more depth players other than Melo. It goes without saying that Melo iso plays is affecting/hindering PG and his abilities.

PG is essentially a spot 3 point shooter now cuz thats barely all OKC makes him do

I thought that the footwork looked ok but I wasn't heavily focused at it, to be honest.

Yeah you clearly did not watch the game melo didn’t iso until the 4th quarter and before the 4th George had more shots how was melo hindering him? Also George is an all star he is supposed to make others better not the other way around not sure how you are making excuses for him

Legit curious how Hubie Brown manages to still be able to call these late night games all season.

[NBAFan93]

So just got home. Looks like Cleveland pulled off a miraculous comeback win in OT...OKC choked a lead again and ended up blowing it...now NOP getting crushed.... Knicks just never had a chance.

[BallerTalk]

OKC is now 2-7 vs the West and their only wins came against a hobbled Clippers team and the last place Mavs.

It's still just November but when does this become a concern?

When the sample size is bigger. There were some flukey things about a couple of those games. The egregious Minnesota loss comes to mind with Towns getting away with leveling George as Wiggins banks a three to win the game.

Thunder will likely be the beneficiary of calls like that eventually, but you have to let the data even our.

Fair enough, but they also have no notable wins. I'm not sure they've beaten a team with a winning record yet.

All those losses still count in the final tally, especially against western foes. Early season giveaway games tend to come back to bite when 3 or 4 games could mean the difference between the 3rd seed and the 5th seed (2016) or the 5th seed and missing the playoffs altogether (2017).

The way they lose should be a little concerning too, shouldn't it?

For the 3rd time, Im not just referring to this game. And im Not makign Excuses for PG, I just simply think PG is better player TODAY when compard to Melo...and that PG and Melo doesnt look like a good fit.

[Asif16]

Am I watching the Pelicans or the Suns right now?
