On the Verge

just wanted to come and acknowledge your teams strides. As a Thunder fan we have gone through the same things you are now. In the season where we started 3-31 and I think finished with 23 wins overall we had something like a 2-20 record in games decided by 5 points or less. We could all see the games were close, but just did not know how to close.

That's what your guys are missing at the moment. They need to learn how to close. So the future is bright in Minny, your guys are going to piss me off many times in the future I know it. LOL You always play us tough as it is.

good luck and keep believin.

Thanks! New coach and a young team with a short camp. I hope things start clicking before too long! They need to learn how to play to win rather than play to not lose. I think these first 3 games they were surprised to be where they were at the end of the game.

Good luck to your thunder this year.

Thanks. I think we have already improved in crunch time under Adelman so far.
At least we are able to make a couple plays now.
Last year under Rambis it was give Beasley the ball and see him miss the game winner/tier. That was really horrible.

Beasley and Johnson have been terrible this season so far. If we ever want to close out games regularly we have to find a reliable wing, though.

Adleman was a fantastic hire BTW.
And I have Rubio man love. (Still happy we drafted Harden though)
