^^ Especially when most of these people have only been fans of basketball for 4 years.

“But you can expect World Peace to pay the price.”

Doesn’t world peace always pay the price?

And I see we’re graced with several NBA head coaches here who know exactly what to do, and exactly what goes on in the Thunder’s huddle, practices, and locker rooms. Aren’t we lucky.

Agree with Bert and Charles. On a bad shooting night Brooks will tell them “don’t worry guys, you’ll hit the big shot. We’re going to win this game.”
Really Brooks?

And I feel like we’ve said “that’s not going to happen again” ,about shots not falling, a few too many times this year.

“The 2-ssed suits the Thunder.”
Think you mean “seed” not “ssed.” ?

Ditto! bertfan! Brooks failing to adjust, is much Stoops like!

I just don’t get why Brooks isn’t telling KD to drive it inside, these players will do what the coach will tell them to do, so to me it’s on Brooks again. We’ve seen again Brooks’ inability to adapt to a game situation. The guy is so paralysed into his set rotations it almost doesn’t happen what happens during the game. Might as well have a robot on the sideline that will tell you after the game “oh well shots didn’t fall tonight”.

*I should say going inside and passing the ball.

Hey DM, no the Thunder should not have lost, but seriously the Lakers have Kobe and he has done that to teams time and time again. The man is friggin phenominal, give him some credit.

The Thunder has the Lakers number though, if they do meet in the playoffs I would say it would be a sweep or 4-1. Easy!

Bad collapse, Kobe was huge. Time to get a nice couple wins to finish (even though Denver WILL NOT be easy) and finish off strong.

It’s playoff time baby! The best time of the year. #Thundeup

How does someone that caused Malice @ The Palace win a sportsmanship award, shouldn’t that make the award null and void to you for the rest of time. Artest is a joke, hope James is not effected to badly as we need him just as much as KD and RW.

One more thing: The Thunder lost because they stopped going inside, plain and simple. You need to stop so many iso plays for KD and RW (especially if they keep not working). I swear I didn’t see RW shoot a friggin balanced jump shot all night. Can he smell the playoffs? Are we going to see a repeat of last year? I hope I’m wrong in thinking Y..ee..a..maybe…hh.

You know who would take it to the basket and get to the line? Harden. And they missed his play-making down the stretch as well. I swore KD was going to go off with no Ron Artest out there to defend him.

Too much Kobe in the end though.

We need a goon on the squad to take out Artest should we meet again… *thinks* Cole Aldrich? :-/

The late-game collapses against playoff teams UGH… This team is starting to look like the old Heat team that couldn’t execute down the stretch.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why two dudes who shoot above 80% from the line wont drive more. GET TO THE LINE!!!

KD’s clutchness is in question now. I wanted a KD, Kobe show-down toward the end. His inability to put the team on his back and takeover is why he won’t get my MVP vote.
