    You obviously don't understand how this is supposed to work. You need to change the rules first then demand the recount.

    Not at all. I'm saying that our roster right now is an 84 Corolla.....the sooner people realize it, the better. You may WANT it to be fast and HOPE it will beat ANY car, right now that is going to be tough.....no matter how much you love it.

    Honestly my objectives for the rest of season are to see young guys, specifically Ant and Nas get an opportunity to develop. I have no faith in Stotts’ coaching on the defensive end, or to make in game adjustments, so even if we make the playoffs it doesn’t even matter because we will get smoked again. But I don’t want Stotts to get fired just yet, because he’s the perfect guy I want in charge considering next years draft class ;)

    As for this game, it’s the same as any other game. Let’s see if our individual talent is enough to overcome the clown in charge.

    I didn't know this was a show your vehicle thread?
    Here's mine the day I bought it. It has a boo boo on the back bumper now though my wife put in it. (Injury... Not season ending)

    Any team/roster with Dame on it and playing should never be discredited down to 84 Corolla standards. Then again, maybe you don't think that much of Dame?

    RoCo officially ruled out for tomorrow - Hood and Jones Jr. are now probable.

    One player....... not enough. Maybe in one moment in one game, but you need a team to compete. You understand this, you're just in the mood to argue. This team is decimated with injuries with what I'm told has the worst defense and coach in the league. So we should get hammered every night. Except it. Don't have to like it, but you do need to acknowledge it.

    Dame, Kanter, Melo, Trent, DJJ, Ant, etc is better than anything OKC could muster the other night....period. Outside of SGA, they have absolutely nothing. They are the worst offensive team in the league for a reason. Dame dwarfs SGA, so we are better right from the start. Now if with Dame and any other 4 players we had available against the Thunder is NOT better than any combination OKC could come up with the other night, then drastic wholesale changes need to happen immediately..and that includes Dame.
    You don't have to like it, but you do need to acknowledge it. :cheers:

    God damn! I'm not necessarily talking about last night. I'm talking about going forward. This team ins't going to win a bunch of games. We have the worst coach in the NBA I'm told. In the middle of the game when you guys are freaking out about a number of things remember this please.
