Thunder: Official "not worried" Hawks @ OKC game thread

[Richie]

And now I'll tell you why - because OKC turned the damned ball over 20 times. This has absolutely nothing to do with Harden being gone.

If Harden had the ball in his hands in the 4th instead of Westbrook you would have won imo

[Clipper Nation]

Yeah, he would have. Not sure if you watched the game, but KD just looked hogtied all night. Clumsy and frustrated.

Considering who's supposed to be getting the ball to him, that's not a surprise...

Westbrick

Westbrick

Clearly, you didn't watch the game. I'm not referring to him being hogtied by Westbrook.

Because Russell was being Bad Russ and wouldn't give him the ball.

Because Russell was being Bad Russ and wouldn't give him the ball.

He looked clumsy and frustrated when he did have the ball, which is waht I was referring to. I can't disagree with the fact that Westbrook is frustrating as sometimes though.

[Stabula]

I would have to agree with the Thunder fans saying that just because a team like, for example, the Clippers possessing a better record having only played three games is almost meaningless. That being said I do believe the Clippers have a higher than the Thunder with the Spurs having the highest ceiling of all three teams. The Clippers obvious and glaring weakness isn't their team it's mostly their coach.

[Stabula]

One additional thought: if I were a Thunder fan (which I most definitely am not) I wouldn't be worried either even with a loss to the Hawks tonight. If the Spurs lost to a team of their caliber I wouldn't think the Spurs are done for the year. I mean the Heat lost to the Knicks.

[lakerhaterade]

Stabula is a got.

[lakerhaterade]

lol satanism

[Stabula]

Grow up already. You have no idea whether I'm A) referring to classical Satanism B) referring to LaVeyan Satanism or C) am not serious about Satanism at all. I would have more optimism for the future of humanity if people like you would find more interesting ways of amusing themselves.

[lakerhaterade]

Shut up got. Kill yourself.

Even with that, the coaches in the Finals last year were Philbe@ner and Brks... Vinny might actually be better than those two despite his annoying fondness for hoarding time outs, tbh... at least he's smart enough to step aside and let CP3 do his thing instead of forcing some idiotic system on him like Mike Brown...

[Stabula]

The only Clippers game I've seen this year has been versus the Lakers but from what I saw they weren't playing as a team. It seemed they were all playing one on one basketball and totally forgot about their team mates. This is something that a coach has to remedy and I'm not confident del Negro's team even respects him.

So did the Rockets when they played the Hawks, but then again, Josh Smith also played. Him and Westbrook have similar basketball.brains.

[thunderfan]

If I'm Westbrook and I've got Martin on the floor with me and the guy is hitting everything he throws up, I kinda start considering maybe looking for him, especially when I'm shooting about 20% on the night. Nope...not Russell!

[Ace]

Westbrook at this rate will have himself on the trading block in no time. His IQ is on the level of JR Smith.

[Latarian Milton]

westchuck never misses a chance of establishing himself as a monkeyballer even further tbh. has everything in him that a great player is supposed to have, except for a brain that contains more than one cell

The guy will leave you shaking your head and throwing a lot of times. He's spectacular in many aspects, but he could very well be what's holding OKC back.

[Jodelo]

And nice dunk by Teague on Durant, btw...

[thunderfan]

OKC's 20 turnovers...to put that in persective...that's the equivalent of crossing halfcourt on every possession for roughly an entire QUARTER and passing the ball to an Atlanta player. You ain't winning doing that .

[fukyoteamclown]

fukyoteamclown...u worried?

Good takes btw.
