If there was ever a night to show who really should be MVP it's this. Hardens stats are nice but he's minus 1 with Houston's best runs coming while he wasnt on the floor. While WB is +14 on the game and his team is still losing.

Russ gotta stop those shots. Everything that worked in the first half went out the window. Sigh.

It's over. Refs and our own stupidity did us in.

Everybody's stagnant now, they're just waiting for Russ to make magic happen. Roberson needs to start cutting again and not just hanging on the 3pt line

And everyone says I'm wrong when I say we need more ball movement. This is ridiculous.

what else is new. Seems to be a theme with the Thunder in this secondary fans opinion. The role players shut down in crunch time. Hard to tell which came first Russ forcing it or the supporting cast dissolving

Poor Russ. Now they are gonna say he's trying too much. Of course no one else can hit a shot. And he's tired so not hitting anything anymore. *** this team

You know whats really sad...
This series our 2nd best overall player has been Andre Roberson.
Our third best has probably been Jerami Grant.

I don't know whether to be angry or start laughing hysterically.

Presti just get rid of some of these guys. Give them away. Just remove them from the team at all costs.

Lou Williams and Eric Gordon, off the Rockets bench, each almost outscored our entire bench.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

The GB is good and insufferable.

We are screwed for years for trying to save some millions extending Oladipo way too soon. Crazy stupid mistake.

The only way to get him a team is to trade him to Boston. Westbrook ends up wasted in OKC or gets traded to Boston who has the supporting cast, but needs their superstar. You replace IT with Russ and Boston is a real contender. You replace Dipo, Kanter, etc with FAs that OKC could afford and would be willing to come here and it's a first round exit at best.

I don't think you've seen Boston the last 2 games.
