State of the Thunder

[Scapegoat]

No they aren't.

But they sure were playing like bad teams at the time of the OKC matchup.

Very true. But the Thunder have lost to several bad teams this season.

yep having the same record vs teams above and below .500 is never a good thing lol

OKC currently 14-10 vs teams both above and below .500

Yeah. They seem to play down to competition. My Wizards do that too, but they choose to play like a college team when they face an inferior opponent.

Just from watching them play through this streak they look like they are starting to figure out that Russ needs to be Russ and everyone else will find their game. He's showing that he's an unstoppable force.
And that cupcake was wrong about no one being able to play with Westbrook. Mello and PG seem pretty happy.

Billy Donovan has to be the dumbest coach in the league. The guy continues to rest George, Melo, and Westbrook to start the 4th for the first 3 minutes.

Yeah I don't care for that strateegery....it's almost like he has no way to stagger them and keep a competitive team on the floor.

Thanks Kyle Singler....

Simple solution is to take one of them out for the final 4-5 minutes of the 3rd and bring that guy back to start the 4th.

When you have a big 3, it's really not difficult to have one on the floor at all times

The lack of an inside game/strategy really hurts them. More paint-oriented plays when the starters are on the bench would be my thing.

...but let's jack up 3's.

No, it isn't difficult at all.

Shouldn't even be that hard with a big 2 unless one is in foul trouble. Common sense really.

It's a shit show again.

 

[bksballer89]

OKC down 3 heading to the 4th. Melo, West, and George are all on the bench again

Okc now tied with Portland and New Orleans in the loss column

Tough bunch to figure.

Win 8 in a row and then Roberson goes out and lose 4 in a row.

Sorry but the Roberson injury is a very poor excuse for losing to teams like the Pelicans (without Cousins) & the lakers at home.

PG COME HOME!

I don't understand this kind of comment. It's not an excuse, it's a factor. Injuries matter.

It does but there's certain teams you should beat with or without injuries. Home games vs the Pelicans without Boogie & the Lakers are 2 games that should have been wins

 

[bksballer89]

Is Roberson Michael Jordan?

Should OKC now be expected to lose every game without the rest of the season without their hero?
