    Our shot selection when we trailed was miserable. CJ needs to start to understand you get no extra points for degree of difficulty.

    And we had them in so much foul trouble in the first half and never capitalized. Instead Nurk gets disqualified on a second tech ... he shouldn't have incurred the first one.

    But we just don't have the players or the athletes to compete with the top four teams in the West, IMO. OKC exposed us as a slow, soft team. If Dame doesn't play out of his mind we get blown off our home floor.

    Exactly. That whole sequence was a fucking joke. And the announcers were fucking idiots as well.
    "A Head Butt ?" Fuck you Reggie. Yet the elbow to Nurk's head was a basketball play????? And Nurk big foot tripped Westbrook? so it was ok to shove him in retaliation? This whole game was an absolute joke..... as it usually is when Malloy is officiating.

    CJ will take more blame. But this was all Stotts/Aminu.

    please do. he had 2 insignificant blocks where they scored on the same possession. while providing no resistance whatsoever to straight line drives. he is clueless on the P&R. makes Meyers look like Gobert

    That literally had no outcome on the game except for the fact that he wasnt in in OT. But with the way we played that OT, he wouldnt have made a difference. Hell, he might've missed a FT and they would've gotten the ball back and it wouldnt have gone to OT. Blaming this loss on him is ridiculous.

    The type of offense we ran down the stretch was Stotts saying "Win us the game Dame." I get thatz but maybe free him up off the ball? We have NO ball movement in crunch time. It's also on our perimeter defense for not being able to contain a goddamn dribble drive.

    By his coach, who he's ride or die with. Dame's only drawback.

    Um what about the night he went for 59. Wouldn't that be his career high?

    Exposed us.

    Dame played out of his mind. We only barely got it to overtime. We were at home. OKC was struggling coming in.

    Seriously, if you think this was some kind of moral victory I think you are overly optimistic.
