That was the best way to lose.

This happened to us when LA beat us. I think we went on a 20 game win streak.

No that was 17 games, but I see where you are going there..... I thought of this tonight too! Can't say I did not. It was close to 20 though, that was a longgggg one and we won the first two, well you know the rest! GOD LETS NOT REPEAT THAT.

Losing while limiting minutes > Losing while playing big minutes

But "the best way" wouldn't have included the Thunder making adjustments that worked to perfection, tbh. I'd feel much better about this loss if OKC shot like 60% from threes and attempted 50 free throws, fwiw.

Yup.

Their adjustments, the spurs have none for em. It pack the paint and make the shooters beat us and Green and others arent going to.

I hate losing, tbh.

Me too....I don't think OKC will be able to replicate that same energy that they came out with tonight. I'm not saying it'll be an easy game for the Spurs, but there won't be another blowout in OKC's favor.

there's no "best" way to lose a playoff game... but whatever makes you sleep easier at night...

Might not be a "best", but there's definitely a "worst". 0.4 comes to mind. Or losing after getting a 20+ point lead. These would have been much, much worse.

So yes, if I had to pick a way to lose, it would be a blowout on the road with the coach throwing the towel in the 3rd quarter (or even end of the 2nd).

What the are you talking about? We just won 20 in a row, not 17.

We Always play with great energy at home...
