LOL not really. Garbage offense can lead to garbage defense. Easily.


95+ pts given up after 3 quarters. That is bad defense...period.

Nope. Turnovers and bad shots feeding OKC offense. It's plain to see.

Tatum with the obvious holds the ball. Put no pressure on step back 3 to end the quarter..

Once again I say you guys can blame tatum..

I one hundred percent continue to blame our coach who has continually allowed this..

Accountability accountability accountability.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Either hard foul him or step in for a charge. We're way too soft with him.

JT been looking outclassed most of the last month!
Had one great game because he was hitting his bogus 3's.
His offense has regressed.

Seeing what having an MVP caliber player can do for a less talented roster tonight.

I’d like to see JT rise ro the occasion and it would help if Brown showed up for 4th.

Hesitated. Saw a guy in the corner. Didn't know if he should pass. Wide open bunny leading to a three other end.

Instead of being down just 7, we're down 12.

Do not play the right way...especially in tight games.

Should be embarrassed that the Thunder are making them look like 50 year olds on the court. (SLOW)
