Shoulda let Chet shoot that last one
That was brutal to watch
Pelicans were really trying to give us the game in the last minute, but OKC said, “It’s aight, just take it”
Chet was wide open on the last possession 😐
Herb Jones eats corn the long way
They gave us every chance to get back into that one…
We came alive too early and too late
Beautiful hero 3s in the last 2 minutes you hate to see it
We still can’t defend the paint and we still can’t shoot 3
Love the fight but hated the execution. Let’s win the next one.
Losing to a Pels team without Ingram, Trey Murphy, and Alvarado while being up 22 at one point is nasty
Can’t be turning the ball over that often and the team needs to crash the boards better
That stretch where our 20 point lead was erased by 5 threes in like 6 possessions was super unfortunate
Aaron Wiggins couldn’t save basketball all by himself.
I really dislike all the new orleans teams
SGA limp getting progressively worse and the play is for him to get the ball way out there? Not sure about that one, diagonal.
This hurts more than the Denver loss
*hide the pain Harold*
i get that SGA is a walking bucket but if he’s off then he has to defer to Chet. That and the constant early shot clock 3s killed us tonight.
loss is on Daig for real. we are getting murdered by size and after a timeout late in the 4th he puts out a 5 shooting guard lineup that immediately gives up a 3 point play to Zion before subbing Chet in the very next play.
Josh Giddey had no business closing that game out after the game he was having. Wiggins or Joe needed to be out there. Why should Giddey close games when we play exclusively through Shai and Giddey cant guard anyone or shoot the ball?
if he wants to experiment with lineups, what about Shai, Dort, J Dub, Chet, Sarr? You know, to actually have some size and get a board?
Wiggins needs more minutes
Tough way to lose a winnable game
Definitely a winnable game. Literally could not hit a wide open three in the second half to save our LIVES. So frustrating this game was free man
NOLA 102 total shots, OKC 88 total shots, that’ll do it
We need a focused 2nd star. Whoever it is. Honestly probably Chet. They need to get the 2nd option shots. Feelings may be hurt but that’s true
I’m sorry, but we need a true center. I don’t know how more people don’t see that
Everybody better be hitting a Golden Corral because we desperately need size
I think I’m going to try and shed my expectations for one more year. It’ll be hard, but I might have to Choose Dumb.
Thunder – 6 offensive rebounds.
Pelicans – 22 offensive rebounds.
We are never going to win anything this piss poor on the glass. This lineup won’t win anything without a heavy that can box out and keep the opponent from getting second and third chances.
We played horribly, stop sugarcoating. On to the next
Reality check to lower expectations
Now that teams are taking the Thunder more seriously, the team’s youth and inexperience will be used against them, like it was tonight. If Micic can’t be trusted on the floor in moments like this, he needs to be traded for someone who can.
I will reiterate my desire for someone like Nance: he’s big and sturdy and well-versed in the veteran tricks. He seemed more like the “coach on the floor” than CJ McCollum.
