Cavs at Thunder | Kenny Atkinson Post Game | 1.16.2025
Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Kenny Atkinson spoke with the media following a 134-114 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder at paycom Center on January 16, 2025.
They're Not Better Than Us, How Everything Just Fall Apart Like That After The Cavs Just Beat Em Last Week. NBA Set This Up for OKC To Get National Praise Again. Refs Swallowing Whistles, No Pressure On OKC, Easy LayUps, Wide Open 3's . Jared Allen Sat Down After going 3 for 3 On Dunks. Cavs should've Pounded & Punished Them Inside, Their Without Both Bigs, All they did was Slap,Pull, & Grab
"7 pitbulls, not 5" I know it's more like he's saying the 5 thunder were HOUNDING like 7 pitbulls… This also might be Kenny's way of saying 2 other players were on the court with the Thunder if you all catch my drift.
The Cavs are good, but they are not a championship team. They should consider trading Okoro, Merrill, Niang, and whoever else on the bench to improve their roster if they can. They should look into acquiring Zach Levine, Malik Monk, or a player in that mold who can light it up.
Even the g league 76ers team played better against okc and that’s when okc still had i hart. This game, okc had NO Centers at all and a fully healthy cavs get blown out by them
Two teams fighting for the respect that they deserve. Mad props to Kenny for the respect he gave us and our players in this presser. As a Thunder fan and dedicated fan of the NBA, we know this is an outlier result.
Honestly I predicted a blowout loss tonight. Figured we’d just not have it tonight. It’s alright, that happens. 1-1 vs thunder and Celtics, now go take out some aggression on Minnesota.
Kenny seems to passive as a head coach and that can trickle down to your players after getting their asses embarrassed and kicked on national television I can only hope that this was a wake up your not really ready for the big dance yet moment. They need to make some meaningful trades for some real dogs. The core is untouchable but everyone else can be touched.
This is a human nature loss. We already got the win against this team, so we had nothing to prove. They had a lot to prove since they wanted to show the world they can beat the Cavs. They wanted it more that we did and it showed.
Donovan isn’t the caliber of the real superstars of the league. SGA never disappoints consistently applying pressure to the defense. Meanwhile Donovan is still searching for answers
Friendly reminder that Cavs are 34-6. We are not a fully formed championship team yet, but the sky is not falling. Some people in here need to grow up. Can you imagine going back in time and telling yourself a year ago the Cavs will have the best record in the NBA and will be playing in big-time regular season games? Anyone who says they thought we would be here 40 games in is lying. Now we have people acting like jerks, just appreciate the ride. Quit the crying, its one game and this has been a magical season so far. Thank you Kenny and Team!
The Thunder opened up the game as if there was a 5th 6th 7th and 8th quarter. They picked up right where they left off. This time they had Caruso to tighten up the defense even more.

Good night for Kenny to experiment, game just didn’t go their way tonight. Hopefully they bounce back Saturday.
let's stop the talking and self-promotion about we have 4 all-stars, and we are the Best Team in the NBA. Back to letting your play do the talking.
Just one game. Love you guys! I watched the latest "The Road Back" episode at lunch today and yall bring me so much joy. ❤❤

it's a long season and cavs can still improve before playoffs. I still believe in this team.
