Damn good try there though. All the people who love anderson do u see where he went in the second half. He disappeared you cant have our second option behind dwight be a Three point shooter you need that off the dribble scorer!
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Another reason to blame Stan: That horrible lineup to start the 4Q which killed our momentum. If you noticed, Durant played the entire 4th. Dwight sat the first three minutes.

Sucks that all teams have to do these days is shutdown Anderson to close the gap and beat us.

ORLMagicGirl15 wrote:What makes me mad about this game, is not the fact that the Thunders made their shots in the 4th quarter, no, what makes me mad is that Orlando went away from what was working. They were fine up until they decided to jack up 3s in the 4th. That's what kills me. And the moment that it was 90-89 9 (OKC) and Anderson decided to hit a 3, that angered me more than anything because all a 3 wasn't necessary.

I'm tired of this time constantly reverting back and folding when other teams makes runs. I'm tired of it. We need change, and preferable a lot of guys who don't settle for shooting 3s.

This is why we need either a change of players, or coaching.... I do NOT trust this team to be consistent.

IT is what is is guys. We played hard, and got beat by a better more talented team.The agonizing thing is that this team is sooooo close. Once again we were undone by athleticism in the opposing back court. I'm sorry but we need a guy who we can give the ball to and say get a basket. I don't care if he takes 100 **** shots a game. GET THAT DAMN PLAYER!

Yeah not really blaming Turk for the fail in the 4th...odds are he goes up, Durant gets fouled and makes 2...then you'd be complaining about why the hell he went up to block with only 1 sec on the shot.

I agree, as much as I love ryan, right now he's only going to win you regular season games...

He makes his living off other teams confusion... that's not going to happen come playoff time when the effort is ramped up and the teams prepare all week for you.

:lol:

He would be great if we had 09 turk, unfortunately we don't so we will have to trade him to get a gamechanger. So long Ryno, it was nice knowing you.

GTFO.

I am gonna go back on this thread and find the ratio of you bitching to saying something positive. basketball is not a sport of hate, if you hate this much, why the **** are you watching the game?

the rest of the guys, watch yourself. next time this can be you! :lol:

that's what dynamic scorers do.

and yeah, the offense killed us. what was our FG% for the 4th quarter? something substandard. if we had a reliable scorer, then it wouldn't have been the case and we wouldn't have been outscored by 14 points in the 4th.

although, you're right, defense needs work too.

Hedo gave up 18 points to Durant in the 4Q. That's the game right there.
