Nope. Westbrook is amazing. Adams has played well tonight but overall Adams and Oladipo were bad extensions. You can be a fan and realize that not everything the organization does is fantastic.


I definitely agree with that, but from my point of view it seems like 99% of your game thread posts are 'x is trash' or 'x is useless' which is always a gross exaggeration. I don't really have anything against you, but those types of posts can get annoying a little bit. This place needs more positivity.


Well when you second best player catches the ball out of bounds, I tend to get frustrated. This team is about what I expected with their record. It's because Westbrook is amazing but the rest of the roster has underachieved. I'm tired of Presti overpaying guys.

How did we lose that game?

Time to go outside and rage fit (so I don't wake up the baby) for 10 minutes then drown my sorrows in a few beers.

I hate losing to the Spurs. I hate it so much. We can't compete with the Warriors and Rockets, but the Spurs are the only elite team we can semi-compete with so when we blow a 20 point second half lead to them and lose it's extra-heartbreaking.

Refs and Oladipo blew the game down the stretch.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

We lost because this team is the Brooklyn nets with Westbrook.

He's amazing and if you say otherwise you're "negative".

We scored 41 points in the second half after scoring 53 in the first half. Got outscored 59-41 in the second half.

That game hurts. That should've been a win.

Those BS fouls when were up 93-90 were, ultimately, the dagger.

Pau and Lamarcus get the BS calls on one end, but Westbrook doesn't get the other obvious foul on the other, at home. Figures.

The writing was on the wall the whole time once the Spurs cut their 20 point deficit with about 8 or 9 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter to 5 points by the end of the third quarter. I mean if the Spurs don't get their 1-millionth fortunate bounce at the end of the third quarter that led to Patty Mills making a 35-footer, we probably win the game.

The Basketball Gods shined upon the Spurs the entire damn game with so many fortunate bounces and rolls and spins.
