A good coach would not take this long before figuring out how to close out the 4th quarter with OKC. B. Donovan has to make tough decisions to stop this 4th quarter nonsense, it has to be deflating and embarrassing for OKC fans.
Actually tonight the rot started from the 3rd quarter and to start the 4th. Inability to put opponents to bed is a sign of a weak offense. There is how a team can beat you in the first 2-3 quarters that would destroy your morale like I saw the Celts do to the Magic

The way Brodie carry 3 pointer for head like say hin sabi shoot am. You miss first, second, airball the 3rd; yet you still had the decency to shoot the last one with 5 seconds to go. Why you no just drive?

Melo na to dey travel up and down and miss layups that Tristan Thompson can even make


Sell this team...
Really Donovan is such a samankwe coach! With the game on the line who in their right minds dials up a Westbrook 3?

Should have given the ball to Melo

Finally!! 4 years and this team and hasn't figured out how to keep it together. Some said Melo is the one holding them back with his ISO. Before, Westbrook used to turnover the ball like crazy in the 4th, now he has improved by just shooting anyhow. They'll get there. They just need more time grin

I felt for them. Na transferred aggression.

On another note, why do we play like this sometimes without KD? The game reminded me of 2015/16 regular season GSW.

Should Kerr play him and Curry with different units?

Kerr just keeps prodding the gas pedal with the team without KD and Draymond today and he still does it by playing basically everybody on the team unlike Mike D'antoni who plays 8/9 hot guys every night. Curry and others are basically doing the same on court by not going flat out or aggressive for a win. Kerr can do what he likes sef as long as the team stays fresh till the playoffs it's just kinda annoying that we get to lose some easy sometimes due to his passive coaching style and annoying decisions.

Lmao.. But take your time to watch this video.. Later they'll say we are hating and uncle isn't padding his stats..
Last season Harden should've been MVP but the rebound stat padding leading to a triple double and the KD/Snake drama was a no brainer.
Lemme come and be going.

End point- rebuilding. Hopefully, we tank a lot to get top picks. We already have perimeter shooters. A decent SF in Michael Porter, PF Jackson Jr all look promising.

Forman messed up our trades. He killed our team's spirit a long time ago. Our team just be like secondary school type wey dey fight for who go be primary scorer.

I'm not quite sure about Lavine being a leader. I'll keep my fingers crossed till he gets back.


But last last, if Bulls ain't playing Warriors, Cavs or Rockets and their time dey clash with other games, I no go watch again. It's quite depressing to say the least...

I stopped watching after the 3rd quarter. Lauri Markkanen should be on a better roster tbh. I didn't know it would be this bad after that Butler trade.

You say?

I honestly thought we'd be 0-19 now.

After trading Butler and McDermott, Wade buys out his contract and then Rondo leaves. The player you got from the trade still got 6 months to return. The remaining so called leaders start a squabble and your rookie is the only guy that puts up a decent ppg.

Haven't we won enough games? grin

I thought Lavine would've been back early but I think y'all are doing great though compared to Maveriack Dallas and the Hawks

We took care of business vs Demarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis Tony Allen and Rondo without KD. We played great defense and Curry balled out. This man always goes all out when KD isn't playing, still does a great job with KD, Hardly plays the last quarter and is still underrated. SMH

That is why, in my own little way, I would defend him as much as possible.

I remember telling someone last year that Curry was only deferring to KD and would easily take the mantle of the team like 15/16 without KD. They were telling me that Eric Gordon was outdoing Curry at the only thing Curry is good at.

This is why I am careful these days with who I engage. LeShannon Sharpe even said we would have been swept last playoffs against Cavs without KD and I thought "someone pays this guy to analyze basketball games"?

Anyways, still we coast. Saving energy till the playoffs. Anthony Davis is something though. He gets his buckets against us at will.
