God I hope Westbrook finds his shot. It’s probably in the pocket of last year’s pants.

Looking for Melo to bounce back too. We cannot play Roberson 40 minutes. Someone has to step up and make shots and defend outside of the starting lineup.

All of our bench players have major flaws right now and they either don’t fit well with our big 4 or they can only shoot (Abrines, sometimes) and not defend or defend and not shoot.

Very frustrating. Thunder have to make a move to shore up their rotation.

I feel like wins will do as much damage as losses. Wins inspire overconfidence, which will lead to iso/hero ball. I’m beginning to think the only chance this team has is if they hit rock bottom and get over their egos.

I'd rather give Ferguson minutes than Huestis. I think that may be the thinking there.

How can any of these guys get into any sort of rythym when Billy Dumbass tinkers with the rotations all the time? I'm fine with playing him, but show some damn consistency!

This is what pisses me off about Russ- he just doesn't seem to learn. From mistakes and from success.

Going for the 2 for 1, for possibly the first time ever, he doesn't brick a contested 3; he actually drove and got the and 1.

So then his idea of a last shot is a deep, contested 3. Airball. After what happened both yesterday, and from what worked just seconds before.

He had plenty of time to take it to the rim, but we all knew he was going to chuck it deep.

Ferguson looks stupid out there trying to move without the ball. Just stand around and wait, then shoot when you get the ball.

Uninspiring, to say the least. This team just destroyed the Warriors and had a chance to gain some traction, and instead, they look worse.

The fellas pretty much mailed it in during the first half. If there was ever a time for Donovan (or anyone on the coaching staff) to let these guys have it, that would be right now.

I agree that the rotations are questionable, but rhythm has nothing to do with effort.

Simplest answer? We suck.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.
