Have no effing clue how Gallinari made that crap. That's on us for giving them three chances on their final possession. We did fight back, but we had multiple times to get over the hump to turn a 1 point deficit or a tie game into a lead and we couldn't do it.

Adams is a forgotten man for the most part tonight. He needs a more opportunities.

So far this season teams are dropping 120+ like it's nothing and we're bringing 90's back.

we probably have the most rudimentary, suboptimal offense in the nba. with westbrook we have the talent to get it to do something but without him, man oh man is it ugly.

Schroder is getting to the rim so easily that there's no passing lane.

Quick, someone post the Presti quote about why they were hiring Billy.

“Tactical competence”?

Schroder picked up 3 fouls early on in the 2nd.

With even an average start we'd be up ten despite playing awful... I don't know how that's possible.

Also, 33% of our offense has come from the sg position.

There’s foul #4 for Schroder. Refs calling everything.

Gortat is no match for Adams. We need to exploit that since DS and George can’t hit anything. Maybe Ferg will bank in a three too.

Gallinari always lives up to his unfulfilled potential against the Thunder.

That last driving layup wasn't nearly as improbable as the one he made to end the half, but it was an extremely difficult finish.

So PG is capable of aggressively going to the basket? That could change everything
