I think we have a decent chance to beat them. We might start slow, but I think Russ/PG wills the team back at some point.

I'm not optimistic but I think it's all about game plan and focus. They are an inferior team but they enjoy playing together and are doing well. We are tired but if we taking this game seriously, we should win. The motivation part is why I'm not very optimistic (this team is clearly careless against ''bad'' teams)
Kind of game when I want some bench players (Noel, Felton, Burton etc.) to play more because they know their job and will execute and that's pretty much what we need against an inferior (but motivated) Clippers team.

Russ vs Patrick Beverly. All the games this year have been chippy. I'll be surprised if they don't give it close to their all.

In 3 games so far, Gallo has shot 73 % from 3. I sure as hell would appreciate it if he regressed to the mean today.

Officiating is grossly against us early. It really feels like refs do not like us.

We won't win this game. I know he's hurt but PG13 is garbage lately

Every freakin' game...

Every freakin' game I follow the boxscore, checking it every 10-15 minutes, and every game I check it and it's halftime and we've given up 60-70 points to our opponent.

This trend has to stop or we're going to finish 6th, play the Rockets in the 1st round, and watch Harden score 45+ on us 4-6 times.

And Paul George fouls out with nearly 4 minutes remaining after a highly questionable call.

And for the second straight game we're getting royally screwed by the refs.

And Russ, like PG, fouls out on a questionable offensive foul call.

Screw these refs. We can't afford to lose these games. This should've been a win.

And, on top of that, the Clippers last three possessions ended with Lou Williams and Gallinari hitting really tough shots.

This one's over. Yet another Thunder post-All-Star break loss.


The slide continues.
