what was wrong? minutes distribution was fine (Dort played a bit too much). He played a lot of minutes with only one big. Shai was trash again offensively.

Re: 2024-2025 OKC Thunder Games Thread
you want Caruso/Wallace to play more minutes than Dort and that's what happened (if Dort keeps playing like this he shouldn't be playing at all that's for sure)

after the game i'll count the number of unique never tried lineups he's used
that first sub was criminal. he never used that. he went completely away from what was working. only to come back to it when clawing and scratching from behind only to take it off and then, once again clawin and scratching from behind, putting cason in.
he's playing this game like it's any other game. just experimenting.

I have seen OKC Westbrook getting destroyed by our fanbase for better games/series than what Shai is currently showing us...even his decision making is terrible (only his defense is fine).

Re: 2024-2025 OKC Thunder Games Thread
We knew coming into the postseason that our offense was gonna rely on Shai hitting his shots and the other players to contribute with 3's and so far both of those factors are really bad. Never seen Shai taking so many bad decisions and forcing stupid turnovers.
Shai played well offensively in 2 of 9 playoff games so far...that's a BIG problem when your option #2 and #3 are not elite offensive players.

absolutely not about 1 or 2 bigs. we were 10-2 with two bigs remember? we've had two bigs successful lineups this series. it's marginal but the starting five is winning this series despite dort being a complete liability (this is one in two lineups by dort that's been successful, the other is the starters but jaylin for hartenstein). it's about cason wallace + alex caruso. the series that dort -has had, the series isaiah joe has had. no absolutely reason to play them all that much. he gift wraped denver a lead and most importantly he gift wrapped them CONFIDENCE and drained the thunder's.

we did well in the one big man line up game 4 in Denver (he used a similar line up). But yeah you shouldn't play Joe and Dort at all.

I think I’m going to do a Michael Jordan mid career retirement on my thunder fandom. It’s just not fun anymore.

What's not fun about it? Presti builds a team for the regular season to make the playoffs. The team makes the playoffs. Presti did his job. Presti gets to have a press conference about internal growth and development and the team being where it needs to be and they will arrive when they show up to arrive at the moment of arrival to show up. Wash, rinse, repeat.

He is Presti's obedient puppet. He is can not be fired until Presti is fired.
