    Total nonsense, fair weather fan meltdowns are what we're better off without. LaMarcus is an amazing player..he had a bad game so you throw him off the bus. Real insightful stuff.

    Blazers are the only team to beat the Thunder twice this year.

    How many games are we going to chalk up as "they were tired"? That's total bologna

    Most people have Aldridge at 3 in the MVP race. It's true. He just had a bad game tonight but he's had a great season.

    That's a legitimate reason for poor shooting. Players get tired and banged up having to carry such a heavy load all season. We as fans look at these guys as superhuman.

    Durant is scoring 30+ practically every night, you don't think he's tired?

    No I won't. I've seen enough and I see the way things are headed. Not to mention we lost Freeland. We will make playoffs but it won't be a top 4 seed unless we can run the table on all those home games after the break. Not gonna happen. MM was right. Said a big would get hurt. Said we'd be mediocre by the All Star break. Well, we're 12-11 in last 23.

    Because OKC, the road team wasn't tired at all. It's the damn NBA. All teams are tired. Easily the most tired excuse after every single loss.

    Durant is better than Aldridge. That doesn't make Aldridge not a superstar. What about the two games we won where Durant missed huge open shots at the end of both games.

    Our two best offensive players had really bad nights, and actually have for awhile. But we can ride this out and they can get back in rhythm.

    At the beginning of the season, we were winning all the back to backs, most of the road games. We had aq TON of energy and no excuses. Tonight's team looks a LOT different.

    We were shooting lights out from 3. That's not coming back. This team simply can't adapt to the new reality of their shooting % from distance.
