    We've had a lot of stupid turn overs the whole series. What we've really lacked is our shooting hasn't bailed us out tonight.

    He’s a solid backup man.. I would love to have him over Turner. He’s what Neil thought Evan Turner would be

    They are way more aggressive than us, Schröder is picking up lillard full court, you dont see that by us, we need some fucking Adjustments quickly

    Dame is playing a really smart game. Just need to let him go one on one with some shooters around him in the second half and he'll go off.

    To be honest I always thought game 4 would be the game for us to take. There’s no way a Paul George led team can be down 0-3 that’s all but certain elimination.. I just want us to have confidence for game 4

    I can't really explain why but I'm not worried yet. This team has heart. As long as we don't let them go on a run to start the second half we will be ok. I don't think we can get away with playing the whole bench unit anymore this game.

    This just ugly guard play and there missing wide open guys either dribbling to much or can't hit open guy. This not just one guard it all of our guards. They not handling the pressure OKC putting on them. Give credit to OKC with there between game adjustments.

    Good news is other than their scrubs hitting 3s at a way higher rate than they will in the long run, a lot of our issues are self-inflicted.

    Actually they're fine.
    That was okc's best shot and it's a 10 pt game..
    Just gotta hang around and this is a low scoring game.
    Doable.

    The only encouraging thing is that we only gave up 49 points when we had 14 turnovers. We've completely shut down OKC this series. If we start hitting shots on offense this game is still winnable.

    This is what I expected them to do defensively at the start of the series, but apparently their coach didn't watch us in the playoffs for the past 3 years.

    We have 4 more turnovers than OKC.

    They have 9 more points from turnovers than us.

    They lead by 10.
