Game is already over because we can't hit free throws. I already know it.

Morris and Noel are pivotal in that little run to make it a 6 point game... what does Billy do right after Noel swats a layup into the glass? Subs them both out after their whopping 4 minutes of play, Toronto goes on another 7-0 run immediately

This dude is an absolute train wreck of a coach, and this type of ineptitude leads directly into losses

Just rest PG13 for some weeks in order to get MVPG for the playoffs. We aren't winning anything anyway

This second half collapse has to lead to Donovan's firing, right? There's no way to justify this.

And I'm so sick of this team giving up 60-70 points in the 1st half and being down by double-digits-ish at halftime every friggin' game. It doesn't matter who we play, you almost guarantee we'll give up 60-70 1st half points and be down by 10+ at the half. That's been the case in most of our games since the All-Star break.

Lmao! Literally the worst start we possibly could have had. Mail it in. This team is done.

Team sucks

Anderson Silva · Post #28 » by **Anderson Silva** » Thu Mar 21, 2019 3:11 am

we seem to actually be a bad team.
Sacto deserves the playoff spot more than we do.

Not defending the 3 (they currently at 55%) Not forcing turnovers (they at 7 we're at 11). cant hit FT's :crazy:

I tihnk we should Fire Billy before the playoffs. This is actually starting to be a giant joke,.

What is different now to every other crap period that follows a winning streak?

It is why I laugh whenever the team goes on a run of 9/10 wins and people start posting that maybe they've figured it out, systems are working etc. It is ALWAYS followed by a rubbish stretch, followed by another hot stretch, followed by another garbage stretch. Rinse and repeat. This team is incapable of being locked in over a long period of time, and losses consistently turn into streaks.

Our team relies more on PG13 than on Westbrook. He's our only scorer. He's injured and playing trash (on both ends, mainly on offense though) since the All star break. If he wasn't playing at a MVP level for several months we would be talking about how a mistake it was to give him the max. Anyway, just saying that we need an healthy Paul George for this team to have a chance to be relatively good (not that he's our only issue but that's a big concern).

Pretty ****ing classless. Idiots like these need to be banned.

Are we 100% sure that's what was said? It's not exactly clear.

If it is, then absolutely a lifetime arena ban.

He could have played at any level he has the last few years and no one would have thought he wasn't a max player. However, the reality is that if PG hadn't played at the highest level of his career for a 3 month stretch it is very possible that OKC wouldn't make the playoffs this year. Unless you believe that PG can play that way next year or OKC adds talent in the off-season or OKC brings in a real coach it is hard to see them as a playoff team next year.

Sacramento will be better than this year. LAL will likely add at least one max player to go with LeBron. Dallas might land a max player in FA in addition to Porzingis. LAC could add a max player. NOLA, Memphis, Minny and Phoenix should be bad, unless Phoenix surprises in FA. OKC has no cap space, taxpayer MLE, very limited trade assets, TPE and a pair of 2nd round picks and seems very unlikely to improve and very likely to decline a bit more due to the aging of Russ and will be unlikely to keep Noel or Morris.

Not enough to make free throws.

Going into that game against the Pelicans right before the break we were, what, 38-19 or something like that? And now, here we are in mid-March, sitting at 42-30.

Unbelievable. This collapse is surreal.

Westbrook was amazing tonight though buddy. I've heard so much trash about his shooting, the guy was pure dynamite.

Said I was out last year, and tbh only reason I stayed was you guys are awesome. But honestly they're just boring, bad and poorly coached. I really couldn't care less about them anymore and Presti's done a poor job building around the good players. I'm totally out, still love some of these guys but they deserve better. First time I ever totally don't care, even when I said before still I kinda did and now...meh.

You're not wrong, but this feels worse than normal to me. I am usually one of the sunshine pumpers during the losing streaks.

I think this collapse is far bigger than just schedule and PG shoulder issues. Its not just roster construction either. There is a massive disconnect somewhere, and I think the main culprit if Billy, but that’s not everything.
