    Lol I'll take it if it happens because it means we'll have ended OKCs season. Even if we get swept in the WCF would be worth it for that alone lol.

    We won't go anywhere as long as Ime is the head coach.

    Mark my words.

    And people are already touching themselves thinking about us beating the Lakers. A series win could be detrimental. Stone doesnt need more excuses to overvalue his drafted guys. Needs to make hard decisions this offseason.

    I thought Ime sit Reed and played his best defensive players? How could that happen?

    We have too many of the same type of player. I feel like Tari, Tate, DFS, and Okogie are redundant af

    Not many people are mentioning Tari, and it makes me sad to bring it up, but besides one or two games here and there, he's been absolutely terrible post-ASB.

    I wonder if he's checked out mentally, or if there's something wrong physically. Either way, I won't really miss him if he goes

    frustrating loss.

    Felt like we were about to put them away in the 3rd quarter then we let them back in.

    The game was lost with turnovers and 3s. We badly need to revamp the offense. Putting Reed on ice when EVERYBODY was getting cooked made no sense.

    no bro... it wasnt about too few 3s - it was we shot the ones we took like crap... we shot 22%... the 18 attempts woulda been fine if we coulda made 6 out of 18...
    and given we went 49/69 from 2... had we taken a few less 22% 3s and a few more 71% 2s - we woulda won...

    We took only 18 3 pointers. 2 is better than 3 obviously. :rolleyes:

    Nope. I get the joke there, but I'm too win focused right now to enjoy an otherwise great post. Amen is on the court and defense is his calling card and if he decided to play defense like he's capable of playing defense, we would have won because the rest of the defense would've played defense too. Now I do get that the game was 'meaningless' but pride is pride, no one sat that could've played and we lost to the Wolves again. It's not that losing was unacceptable here, it was that we lost an edge tonight and I'm not sure we'll find it in time again. I guess I'm just worried about how we'll play in the playoff.

    I need to get over myself. This really isn't that bad.

    The coach you desperately cling to couldn’t keep his job for a year after gross unprofessionalism, got fired, his team got better won a ring. He’s now coaching the best slasher in the league, the best offensive talent of all time, and one of the best centers.

    he can’t supervise or direct a proper inbounds play

    he has the worst clutch record out of every playoff team, hell aomost all teams

    he can’t even win a series as an upper seed

    there is no meritocracy at play here so idk why you’re upset

    I feel like this loss was mostly just 3P shooting discrepancy

    Call it luck or skill or whatever combo you want but they hit 50% of their three pointers and we hit 22%

    There's not much you can do to win when that's the case

    Sad we wasted Amen's best game of his career so far, though

    I hope we get swept by LA and blown out in every game so it is obvious to the morons running this show that we need a new coaching staff.

    That's the only way we will get hope going forward

    The 3pt shooter was sitting on bench most of time.
