Wtf are you even talking about??

One team wins and one loses. It was a shitty offensive game that they won.

The thunder won that game whether you think they did or not man. Yeah we both sucked offensively- they made one better clutch play than us- they won.

I don’t think you will see OKC play nearly that poorly the rest of the series and they got a gift tonight


I mean, same can be said for us.

We were god awful from three tonight and I'd say more than 50% of our attempts were wide arse open.

Lou Dort is a great defender, but notice how we do nothing to get BI the ball and make them switch.
Who did SGA hit shots on his last two baskets? Wasn’t Herb.

They have no answer to big Jonas. Chet is way too weak. Play 1995 ball like he’s Patrick Ewing and just keep feeding him down low until they stop it.

ESPN had our win probability at 84.6% with 1:57. Left. That’s so Pelicans basketball

I'm not arguing the result, but you saying the Thunder looked like a bunch of playoff vets is wild.

They were awful.

I'll blame him. He was double once he lost the ball,
You've said CJ was doubled and also that Trey was wide open.

I suggest a rewatch, neither of those things happened, at all.

I think CJ panicked when his dribble got interrupted. I'm not blaming willie on that last play
But there was no play

It was "CJ go shoot a 3" and nothing more.

I said they had more playoff composure in this game than us. Considering they made the game winning shot and we didn’t- I think I have valid point.

Once CJ ran into the double, Trey's guy left him. He was open
I watched it 4 or 5 times, Trey ws never close to wide open nor did his guy ever leave him.

There was never a double.

This is my biggest sticking point. Willie and Griff have ALWAYS been obsessed with having guys they think can guard all 5 positions so we can switch with ease.

That's all fine in great in a close game in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, but in a tied postseason game with under a minute to go, why in the everliving frick are we inviting them to get Herb to switch off SGA so that CJ is guarding an MVP candidate.

So fricking dumb.

I said he dribbled into the double. This was after he lost control.of the ball. Williams was leaving Trey as CJ was putting up that shot. Trey was in fact wide open.

Cason is a good defender. He stayed in front of CJ.

Possession that lost it…..
90-90 and Herb misses wide open 3, CJ misses wide open 3, BI kisses wide open 3, Larry has a wide open layup blocked, with a minute left.

Had 4 chances to take the lead.
That and after going up 2, having the ball times and only getting up 1 shot. 3 turnovers and an offensive foul.

Man that is waaaaaaaay too obvious to be true. Like seriously everyone knows this needs to happen. Except the coach.

None of this happened.

Trey set a lackluster "screen" at the top of the key and immediately sagged off. OKC saw that coming from a mile away because everyone watching the game saw that coming from a mile away.

Trey never lost his man, that weak arse play was in trouble from the second Willie drew it up, and it was over the second CJ lost the ball.

Again, go watch us against the Nuggets in game 3 of the 09 postseason.

Not saying that means we win the next game by 64 points, but the Thunder did nothing to win that game other than play a team that wanted it slightly less than them.


SGA won the game taking the lead back on back to back possessions while the Pelicans were doing stupid shite for 3 minutes.

The coach is obsessed with playing a 6’7” guy at center instead.
