    Missing a ton, but OKC's roster is garbage. We have the best player on the court by far. We had the best big on the court by far. We got 20+ from 4 players.

    Defense matters...(to everyone but Stotts)

    We have the Rockets Thursday. That's going to be a tough game.

    They traded away all their players for draft picks..full on rebuild. They are trash, but still NBA players, and they wanted it more than us.

    Zero defense. Making Mike Muscala look like Ray fucking Allen.

    Perhaps not you so if not, that is incorrect. But I see that Laker win brought up over and over again and it is not representative of the team this year. Very much an outlier. Best win of the season, but so many other garbage efforts sadly cancel it out.

    I'm not going to say OKC is garbage....they played a hell of a game. We got beat, we didn't lose on purpose...we got beat...plain and simple.

    I would take action on that. I mean seriously, you're predicting a seven game losing streak? I think we'll win the next one if RoCo and Hoodie can play.

    There is no one left in OKC. They traded everyone but SGA for something like 17 1st round Draft picks in the next number of seasons. They are garbage....they just happened to beat us.

    We got beat by a tanking team that tries, and has a decent coach.

    We should not be giving up 120 points to this OKC team.

    Disagree. Muscala is the next steph curry well at least against us... Dort is nasty , Alexander , they not bad team they beat the nets, and lost to Jazz by 1. If we had Rodney hood and Dame doesn’t have worst shooting night ever we win. We had 4 potential starters out. The season is very early our bench getting great minutes and experience. Rocco and Hood will be back and we got 3 days off. We will beat Houston and bulls on road.

    Appreciate you owning it, you're a good man! My point was: With Dame/Nurk/CJ we've only lost to one sub .500 team, so I throw the Bulls loss into the same category as the Laker win.

    I'm with you, this was ugly. I know you have higher expectations than me on a night like tonight (I took OKC on the moneyline). Going to have a lot more rough ones over the next two months.
