We scored on 1/10 during the last 3:09.

1 fricking score on 10 possessions. 2/10 is horrid, but that would have won the game.

This is a coaching problem just as much as it is a CJ/BI problem.

If Griffin can’t swallow his pride and make significant moves in some form or fashion during the offseason, we can stop hoping for more than disappointment every year

This honestly is when your star (BI) goes to work and gets a bucket for you. It’s exactly what the Thunder did and why they won with Shai.

If BI can’t do that than he’s clearly not the number 2 you need and doesn’t deserve a crazy extension. Dort is a good defender but also significantly shorter and had 3 fouls at the half. BI didn’t take advantage of any of this.

The moment this team advanced past Sacramento a few nights ago any chances they made drastic changes was out the window. Hell, even prior to that it was probably on life support.

Even in relation to the roster, if I had to bet vs them making minor changes (like moving bench rotation guys) vs making a major move (trading BI, Jonas, etc) I would bet they make the minor move. That's not to say they won't look around to improve the roster, but we have enough data at this point to know that they overvalue their players, they'll shop guys but ask too much and they'll be back next year, again.

and next year we'll be right back where we have been. Fringe play-in.

Agreed it was frustrating to watch but what made it even tougher to swallow were the open looks that just wouldn't go down. Naji and CJ both had 3s that were halfway down and came out. JV had a bunch of opportunities on one possession and they just wouldn't go down. The block by Chet looked like a goal tend and then you had a couple of Larry dives where the dunk/layup just wouldn't stay down. Both teams had a fair share of misses and OKC had a few go down late.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Willie will be back. I hate it but I’ve accepted it.

Remember when we got a rebound and threw it out of bounds and then got another rebound and gave it away right after that?
