NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT THE CUP

[@bryanvillarreal9105]

When do we start to talk about the offense struggling when other teams are locked in. All playoffs I heard “historically bad shooting night” and guess what I heard after last night…”historically bad shooting night”. I fear I’m seeing a trend. Hope I’m wrong.

[@Hrogthar]

I think this changes with Chet.

[@MrWesleyton]

Very selective memory. Did you watch the game? Thunder set great play schemes and got off open shots All game long, just wasn’t hitting them. I swear some of y’all overreact so badly.

[@zachvobornik1404]

That was painful. Six of eight awful quarters of basketball on offense on national TV between the Rockets and Bucks.

[@LD21333]

Stop talking about this “historically bad” shooting bs. Yall said the same bs during the playoffs last season. The Thunder need more shooting / shot creation. It’s extremely simple and no ring will be won until it’s addressed. Time for Presti to learn from his mistakes and make a damn move

[@AD-oy8nm]

speaking of lineups. we have to have a consistent rotations. it messes with players routines. starters know they must be ready to go from the start of the game, bench players come in to provide a spark totally different mindset. frequently changing the starting lineup from cason to wiggins to joe has been counter productive. i look at someone like russ westbrook when he's a starter the nuggets this season have had better offense and games and russ seems to perform better i noticed this with his time with the clippers as well.

[@Noticing_Nolan]

The fact is that this team is currently not clutch in big games. The bright lights so far have totally changed the look of this team. That is what needs to change.

[@joeunger4862]

This is some wild coping. Andrew, you were so sure the Thunder were going to spank the Bucks going into last night's game. What happened to that bravado?

[@bighead2323]

He's done this over the years lol he so sure then it goes opposite direction😅

[@AD-oy8nm]

We are still small against teams with front court depth. Teams with good power forwards like anthony davis and yesterday giannis are our achilles heal. I'm hoping the light turns on for ousmane. I hope we find a talented 4 to complement this group in 2025. Need more consistency from the bench it can't be Michael Jackson and four others anonymous dancers out there. We also need experience. I'm against any rash trades, the team needs to continue to organically build.

[@86lanzo]

Wow ..nobody wants to give bucks credit..

[@knifeknights7693]

Shai had an off night. Jdub need to star in big games?Is it pressure? That we haven’t seen on Jdub. Limit the rotations, in the playoffs, Championship teams rely on 8 key guys. Especially in a bad shooting night, players need to play more so that they will have their groove on. Milwaukee plays in the half court game and are old. So game plan should play uptempo all the time. Nobody can guard Giannis so double team or put Hardenstein on him since Jdub can guard Lopez since he shoots threes. I’m disappointed but this SLAP is needed so we can have a better strategy and players will improve. #ThunderUp

[@tamaraojeda9383]

You hit the nail on the head. I would like to add In game adjustment, when Giannis gets his 3rd foul early in the 3rd qtr , adjustment would be to hunt Giannis so he will get in foul trouble once he is benched, this game is a wrap.

[@augustosarmentodeoliveira3023]

the worst thing is, the Bucks defense kinda sucks. we should've scored more points than them.

[@LD21333]

Why does Mark decide to start Joe (who sucks when he starts), when the lineup with Cason has worked? The flaws with this team are blatantly obvious. We need shooing. Can’t compare ourselves to the Celtics when we have a team full of inconsistent ass shooters

[@AD-oy8nm]

Team has to get better in half court offense as well. When you play quality teams you won't force as many turnovers as i feel like the thunder have relied on turnovers and defense to make up on the offensive end. The playoffs deeper you go the games become more of a grind, everyone is more efficient and it becomes a half court grind.

[@Hrogthar]

This game clearly missed Chet. He's supposed to be there to free up the offense and shore up the rim protection on help or otherwise with Hart. Spreading out the floor, and a much better chance that 1 of 3 of SGA, J Dub, Chet to lift us up. Only going to Shai or Dub is limiting.

[@LilCuzz13]

Chet wouldn’t make a difference. Giannis don’t struggle with guys like a Chet

[@Hrogthar]

@@LilCuzz13 When he's already gone up past the other defender, it doesn't matter. If that help defense is 7 feet tall with both arms up and good anticipation like Chet, it's a huge difference compared to Caruso waiting.

[@ryanshearer5653]

Saying you didn’t care bc you lost is such a soft crash out

[@kevinscott9242]

Cam Johnson Cap# is 27mil/yr.. Kenny & I Joe together are 19.6mil. They are not close to a match.

[@santiagogalindo4201]

This guy says he didn’t care about the cup!! Stop been so damn cocky wtf have we won? It’s not about a dumb cup it’s about getting over the line!!! Did you see how we shrunk under the pressure!

[@santiagogalindo4201]

Also shai needs to use that 3 as a alternative or be smart with it! It’s not his game his game is inside out needs to stop taking those dumb 3s

[@jonasgorea3823]

First thing is people need to relax. Yes it was a terrible offensive game but I’ve seen some crazy stuff online reacting to this game which is very clearly a crazy outlier. There are some concerns I have though. If SGA has an off night no one is really capable of picking up the slack. If him and jdub both are off the team is broiled like they were tonight. Second Milwaukee is the team we absolutely matchup the worst with. We have 0 answers for their big lineup, 0 so this overall result wasn’t that shocking to me. Was it a tough loss for this team, absolutely but it’s not a season ruining or ending loss. Just put it behind and move on. Now id love to see Sam add some scoring punch off the bench, (sexton, cam Johnson) because we don’t have anyone off the bench that can create for themselves let alone others. It’s why Dub has struggled so much w/o shai. He needs help off the bench.

[@freddyt.mcgeechannel9874]

Excuses

[@LD21333]

GET ANOTHER SHOT CREATOR OFF THE BENCH. WIGGINS IS WORTHLESS AND JOE IS WAY TOO INCONSISTENT

[@nirvanachile24]

REJECT THE CUP

[@walkr8383]

The cup is lame and I’m glad it’s over.

[@LilCuzz13]

It’s lame cause yall lost 😂🤡

[@Noticing_Nolan]

Wiggins did not look good

[@WadaMalone]

It's hard when you play 20, 15, 9, 10, then 6 minutes (last 5 games). This team would benefit from more line-up continuity.
