    OKC drops to 6th after Minny hung on for the win against Dallas. TWolves have the tiebreaker

    First of all, what a block by plumlee

    Secondly, great call by Malone to sub plumlee in for jokic on that single play

    Thirdly, how bad does Russ gotta be in the clutch for the media turns on him

    That Minnesota loss to Memphis looks so bad right now. Hope that doesn't cause them to end in 7th seed.

    I'm glad OKC lost, but man, I almost feel bad for Russ.

    I'm about to go lurk the OKC's reddit now.

    The Thunder could legit end up the 8 seed when it's all said and done.

    OKC fans blaming Paul George for only having 13 points.

    Uh...Russ went 12-32. George (though not great) went 4-12...

    Westbrick is perfect for that small town.

    I don’t understand why there fans refuse to criticize and blame Westbrook.

    I did the @DreamShook and checked their reddit and it’s just all support.

    I mean I always defended harden and backed him but I understood why fans ragged harden. I vehemently disagreed but we at least had a decent section of the fandom question and attack harden.

    It seems they just don’t realize the problem is Russ or they refuse to scold him or debate if it’s his fault

    Not yet. They still have a game lead over MINN. Let's hope New Orleans beats them next and then the slide towards 7th can become a reality.

    Yeah. It was pretty unsatisfying. It's a cult.

    Some fans just defend players regardless. You see the same with Harden. He can do no wrong. Harden is 5 of his last 34 from behind the arc, but the defenders will make excuses such as tired legs, an ankle strain, or a sore wrist for the poor shooting.

    Yup, I've never understood that. If a player plays poorly, just say he played poorly. It's not that big a deal. If a player makes the team find out via ESPN that they had season ending surgery without consulting with team doctors, it's okay to criticize them for it.

    The hero worship of players has always seemed odd to me.

    I think he just doesn’t care rn. He’s avoiding injury and conserving by chucking 3s

    But I mean what wrong has he done this year tbh? A small cold streak? Ok...

    Lol
