    Not likely, but I suppose it depends on where we try to get him to take his shots.

    I do. I saw a very ref controlled, well-oiled OKC tonight, that played exactly as they should have. Whereas we turned the ball over in the first quarter something like 14 unforced times, and looked lost at times as well. OKC kept calm and stuck to the NBA's script.


    FTFY

    I knew we were going to lose this when I saw that today was the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. The powers that be aren't letting OKC walk out of there with a loss.

    there were red flags from the first possession turnover. ET's behind the back pass to OKC. People doing too much in traffic. Driving in hard n being bated into fouls.

    we were penalised into oblivion but we earned a lot of it due to stupid af plays. they had 5 blocks too, us 1. we shot more 3's and fg attempts, just the FT's rolled out the red carpet for them.

    hopefully sorted for game 4.

    Aminu hits some 3's early but not when we needed them most. When Dame draws two defenders and delivers the pass .....our forwards need to deliver. Grant's 3's on the other hand were killers for OKC.

    We did much better in the second half. I think we had like 3 or 4. Hoping it's a sign we made adjustments.

    We put our scubs in in Game 2 and Simmons dribbled out the last seconds. He didnt fucking drive to the hole. Fuck that perpetually injured lowlife PG. Go hang with Russ

    Honestly feel like we'll lose in 6. OKC adjusted well, and I don't trust Stotts to do the same. Hopefully Im wrong.

    This, well said. As soon as I saw that turnover on the first possession, I was concerned. Surely enough, this was a typical Terry Stotts loss.

    That's how he always plays. Dipping his shoulder into the defense and initiating contact, and either knocking you back so he gets space, or flailing so he gets FTs.

    Anyone else notice that the first two Russ highlights after the game on ESPN were offensive fouls? I thought it was kind of ironic...

    did you just ignore our whole second half? our adjustments on offense were terrific in the third, Dame got SOOOOOO loose.

    We lost this game because Grant and Westbrook shot well from 3. Their attack isnt sustainable

    I dont think so. Dame literally hit some of the toughest shots and had some of the best drives of his career. If Dame scores 1 on 3 that doesnt necessarily mean it was good offensive schematics.

    rewatch it.

    I'm serious.

    We scored more points in the third than all of the first half. Committed just 1 turnover. Terry made adjustments i have to begrudgingly admit. And they were damn good.
