Extremely interesting 5-point trip.

Russ bricks two FTs, we get the offensive rebound, kick it out to Ferguson who gets fouled on a three-point attempt. Ferguson makes the first two FTs, misses the third, we get another offensive rebound tipout to George who cans a 25-footer.

Donovan is really clueless.
He doesnt look like a smart coach at all.

Yes stealing the ball is great. But when you go aggresive for steals on D it can be punished.
Teams usually try to play their usual game, regular sets. After the turnovers their coaches adjust their game.
And they just expose the holes in our D. They punish our aggresive D that tries to get more steals.

When you score easily you get motivated. You also defend better. Smelling the blood turns a team that accepted a L to fighter.
Wizards-Lakers game would've ended easily with a decent coach. I dont even want to talk about Hawks game.

Oh, and how's this for frustration.

In our last 6 quarters, playing two really bad teams, we allowed 209 points. Gave up 142 in a regulation game to the second worst offense in the league two nights ago and followed that up by allowing the LeBron-less Lakers to score 67 in the first half.

What a horrible sequence of fouls by Ferguson.

Post #25 » by **ThunderBolt** » Fri Jan 18, 2019 4:22 am

We had four guys there for a rebound and let Hart get it and then fouled him.

NaturalThunder · Post #26 » by **NaturalThunder** » Fri Jan 18, 2019 4:27 am

We're shooting 12/21 (57%) from three, highly uncharacteristic for us.

And we're still only up by one against the LeBron-less Lakers.

Let that sink in.

We’re pathetic defensively.

Post #28 » by **ThunderBolt** » Fri Jan 18, 2019 5:00 am

Once again we let hart get the rebound and he’s the only laker around.

Holy crap!!!

Last four quarters of Thunder basketball we've played the Hawks and the LeBron-less Lakers.

We've given up 264 points.

As we head in to overtime i won’t really feel much different if we win or lose.

NaturalThunder · Post #32 » by **NaturalThunder** » Fri Jan 18, 2019 5:19 am

Three minutes into OT.

Zero points.

1-5 in our last 6...

1-5.

Losses at home to the Wizards, T-Wolves, and Lebron-less Lakers, as well as a road loss to the Hawks.

Right now, we're one of the three worst teams in the NBA. We MIGHT be better than the Bulls and Cavs right now. Of course this Laker team just lost at home to the Cavs a few nights ago.

There has to be a serious "come together" happening happen now or this season is going to spiral all the way out of the playoffs.

Same ****, different year.

Our fantastically awful bench tonight:

Noel: -20
Diallo: -14
Schroder: -12
Patterson: -11
Nader: -10

I wish we would quit dicking around with trying to make the playoffs and rebuild. Goodnight.

You’re better than the Suns too, don’t forget about them.

Last 8 quarters + 1 OT:

280 points.

I'm officially quitting on this season.

Please, the Suns would stomp a mudhole in us right now.

We just lost by 16 to the Hawks and lost by 10 at home to the LeBron-less Lakers. We had the momentum and the home crowd behind us in OT and still lost the OT period by 10.

I can't remember a more frustratingly depressing 2-week stretch of OKC Thunder basketball outside of first season.

This is extremely difficult to stomach.

Billy gotta be on the hot seat. Why is every big man just getting a clear path to the rim all game?! Went from top defense to an actual joke. Wheels have offically fallen off
