    Forget the game; my concern is Amen

    WHY DID WE KEEP LEAVING SO MUCH TIME ON THE CLOCK WHEN WE HAD POSSESSION AND THE ENTIRE SHOT CLOCK?????

    ALMOST 9SECS END OF 1ST OT.

    OVER 11SECS END OF 2ND OT.

    JFC.

    Eh, in the final seconds of 2OT, Im good with takin a gamble like that. High risk play that ultimately cost us the game but if KD didn’t jump, SGA was out of time with no clear look trying to shoot over 2 very lengthy defenders

    blaming Udoka when we have zero capable point guards. well Holiday is one but he won't play. we have zero guards who can shoot. ZERO.

    And if they could they'd coach's challenge every single call

    Remember when the NBA tried to say push-offs were an offensive foul? lol

    Just 1 game man. And that too against the best team in the league. How can you not see the improvement?

    Well at least playing Thunder in a playoff setting minus their 2nd best player really exposed how badly our weaknesses are.

    Reed is just a cone on defense, can't throw entry passes.

    Tari is playing for his contract, doesn't really give a **** about the team.

    FVV replacement, we need one if we really care about winning a title this year.

    Clint signing was really just redundant like most of us predicted

    We need DFS healthy asap. Tate, Holiday, Green are just useless in Ime's eyes I guess.

    There is a reason KD was having a hard time getting open. Dort is allowed to hold other players jerseys. Overall we also got some favorable calls so not much to be mad about.

    So what's the deal with Amen?. Nobody from NBC bothered to get an update. Craig and Ryan would have been all over that

    All in all double OT against the reigning champs minus a FVV is a win, IMO. Well done, fam.

    Not to mention that he missed 3 FTs down the stretch.

    His defender is holding and grabbing him so he can’t run around. Dort got away with a lot of bullshit on that play and gets away with a lot every night.

    I’m still shocked about Reed Sheppard

    I truly had no idea his defense was this bad

    not being able to guard Shai is one thing, but getting blown by repeatedly by the likes of Dort, Caruso, Cason Wallace, and Wiggins was eye opening

    holy sh*t

    First game against the best defensive team in the league. Even if OKC missed a lot of shots they were still playing excellent defense and lots of good thing but we gotta figure out how to give ball to KD. Reed wasn’t even supposed to be out there against OKC in crunch time but oh well
