Right now we are the last team that a tanking team want to face.
Let's rest PG13 and try to win a game against Gs

Just shut the season down. Bench Russ, Adams, and PG, fire Donovan, actively try to lose every game and get a lottery pick.
We just lost, at home while fighting for our playoff lives, to...
Trey Burke
Max Kleber
Dwight Powell
Jalen Brunson
Dirk's corpse
Devin Harris
Courtney Lee
Dorian Finney-Smith
It took 12 years, but this is by far the worst, most disappointing season in Oklahoma City Thunder history.

Yes i have. No one is blowing by this guy. And one thing i've noticed, anytime he's around, the opposing player either misses, makes a turnover, throws a stupid pass, or something else he does not want to do. He has that kind of defensive effect.
I was a guard for 15 years, and these type of players, short and strong (not those skinny, athletic ones) were always a true nightmare. Burton is that kind of build. He has that special kind of low, static strength that you can't move or shake. Too bad Billy Donovan doesn't recognize that.
But it's fine if you think otherwise. We'll just play Ferguson ad nauseum. And loose to Dallas...
it's downright amazing 30 nba teams passed up on this absolute phenom and he had to play a whole season in korea. you're making all this up in your head.

What a junk team. They don't deserve anything else besides a GS sweep in the first round.

Great game. Keep fighting!

We clinched a playoff spot last night when the kings lost.

I don't know which one is worse. Believing in delusion that's proved to be a delusion (Ferguson), or believing in delusion that has yet to be proven as delusion (Burton).

Dennis and Morris are supposed to be two of the better players off the bench and they have both been absolutely horrendous. Dennis getting blocked in iso by 41 year old Dirk might be the saddest thing I've ever seen. Morris on the other hand looked like he was passing up open 3's after bricking a couple early.

Who else is looking forward to Russ' dismissive post game interview where he shakes his cup of ice/water while stubbornly claiming everything is fine.

Russ running into 4 guys and realizing that the court had finished was priceless. I wonder how many coaches in the league would not bench such a boneheaded guy after squandering every set play so mindlessly every game.
PG hesitated and sent the ball to Schröder who was 1/5 on 3s up to that point. When PG is not feeling it, OKC sucks, that's as easy as that.

I don't know which one is worse. Believing in delusion that's proved to be a delusion (Ferguson), or believing in delusion that has yet to be proven as delusion (Burton).
The Ferguson thing is absolutely worse. It the whole definition of insanity thing. We've watched struggle to make any kind of positive impact for the better part of 76 games. He basically regressed to a 4 ppg scorer at this point. As I stated yesterday, he's somehow managed to morph into more of an offensive liability that Andre Roberson.
At least with someone like Burton we the fans can sell ourselves on the notion that his skill set will provide some sort of positive impact on the lineup.

If Clay Bennett doesn't want to spend even more money in taxes, it's time to press the reset button.
