Carmelo is an actual cancer. Do not give him the ball, should come off the bench as a center
Weather forecast in Utah for Saturday: Sunny with no chance of Thunder.
How you let Rubio score 21 I don’t understand
Donovan Mitchell was the best player on the floor tonight.
Key for the Jazz foul out Adams OKC has no big men
Wow DONOVAN MITCHELL VS westbrook, george , anthony . Rokie vs superstar
Easy win if Westbrook attacks and stops chasing stats
OKLAHOMA PLAYERS =CORRUPTS SALE THIS MATCH 27/6 IN SHOTS IN THE LAST 4?AND YOU ARE PROFESIONAL PLAYERS?YOU ARE NOT PROFESIONALS PLAYERS HOY ARE NOT PROFESIONAL TEAM YOU ONLY ARE CORRUPTS YOU ARE THE MOST CORRUPT PLAYERS IN ALL HISTORY FROM ALL SPORTS
HOW MUCH YOU SALE YOUR NEXT MATCH?
Man our bench is ridiculous smh
Can't spell CHOKE without OKC
They played one good game then came up lame! Can't be missing wide open shots like they did tonite! Can't see the Thunder doing much in Utah where the Jazz have been kicking ***! They didn't even play well and still won!??
After that terrible dismal performance I'm done with the Thunder!!! Once they get to Utah they are done like dinner anyway!!! What the hell was I thinking backing the Thunder???
Hard to be a Thunder fan. We need some shooters!!
Melo is the least clutch player in the NBA
The Thunder needed to come out in the 4th and put the hammer down! Instead they lay a huge egg by only coming up with a 14 point quarter!??? Thunder won't win playing this way in Utah!!
Donovan Mitchell becomes the 2nd rookie in NBA history to score 27+ points in his first 2 playoff games. The other: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Mitchell is a 34% 3 point shooter. We should be going under screens with him. He is awesome in the paint and when he's there it also opens up lots of looks for Gobert and offensive rebounds. I'd go under screens for Rubio too. He isn't much of a shooter off the dribble (apparently amazing and catch and shoot corner 3s though). Also Grant should be starting this series, Carmelo can't match Favors on the boards. He killed us.
also did anyone see the play when russ yelled at melo and then switched onto favors and then continued yelling at him and switched onto someone else while rubio was completely unguarded what was going on there
This is pretty much how our regular season went and pretty much how Utah’s regular season went..no surprises ..we still need to replace George and Melo with players that can shoot
rubio + gobert is an excellent defensive combo. few pg / c combos are as good as that one defensively. usually great defensive c play with bad defensive pg.
quinn snyder confidently remarked about the jump shooting after game 1 and it certainly seemed prophetic now. i thought brewer did an outstanding job most of the game defensively on mitchell. in the fourth quarter, donovan decided to keep melo and grant in the game with that big lineup that was hopelessly outmatched by the jazz defense. a desire to keep melo in this game probably gave it away as much as mitchell getting hot in the 4q won it. multiple possessions died with grant and brewer in opposite corners and the jazz not giving them a second thought. and of course daddy ricky outplaying westbrook is bad news.
After game 3 "OKC in 6" After Game 4 "OKC in 7" After game 7 "OKC in 8"
Donovan Mitchell is a monster. We had no answer for Favors on the boards either.
When their defensive strategy is "hold Adams every chance you get" and he some how fouls out before Gohbert or Favors... yah, they'll win th eboard match every time. These refs need to be fired.
When a rookie gets triple the respect of the league mvp from the refs, you know the refs weren’t even pretending to call a fair game. This league is a joke
We never had a f***ing chance... Thunder 1 Refs 1 Jazz 0
Yeah its the Refs not Russ, Melo & PG going 19-58
Let’s not overreact, we just got wrecked on the boards and didn’t have Adams when we needed him We can take next game
The turning point was when we blew a 12 point lead by sending Mitchell (who was COMPLETELY out of the game) to the line for 8 ft’s in like 2 minutes (some legit calls and some gifted calls) which got him and the Jazz back into the game. Every shot he didn’t make at the end of the 3rd, he got to shoot ft’s for.
Almost zero legit calls. Game gifted to utah
Gotta give credit to Utah, they killed us on the boards tonight. I'm still salty cause the refs ****ed us over in the 4th, but there were bad calls on both sides tbh. We had our opportunities, and we choked down the stretch.
New rule just brought in - Is you're name Steven? Then you're not aloud to go straight up on defense, you must move out of the way and let your opponent score
Why does this team do this to my heart
My d*ck got smaller after this game.
However in the end Rubio hit an INSANE amount of threes, we had all our momentum stunted after a 19-0 run by the refs, we could not catch a call in the 4th, Favors went ham, any one of those things could have switched the other way and this is an OKC victory.
Can’t win a game when Gobert gets to shoot free throws every time he touches the ball. Good hell. Adams couldn’t even look at him without getting a whistle.
I thought Rubio couldn’t shoot...
That game got me so out of sorts and frustrated I just said out loud AND to myself, “I’m going to throw this chair across the ****ing universe.” Yeah, I don’t know either.
Thunder had a lead to star the fourth and the bench unit crapped out. Russell came back into the game extra early (at the 10:40 mark or so instead of the 9:30 mark, which is when he usually comes back in). Then Melo came back early. All 3 just missed shots today. **it was looking like all 3 would go for 20+pts tonight and then the 4th quarter came.
I think that the reason that refs are bad is because they are too short, they literally can't see ****, refs should be at least 6'5.
This game legit looked rigged during that 3rd quarter stretch. Completely one-sided officiating. Mitchell got FT's on like 6 straight possessions. That's some prime Kobe type ****.
Rubio won’t be able to keep up his shooting.
Mitchell was completely out of the game. Seeing 8 ft’s go in late in the 3rd/early in the 4th got him back into the game.
Jazz play good D, but we don’t run an offense that gets players good looks. PG made a bunch of shots in game 1 with hands in his face or someone within 5 feet of him rushing toward him or fighting through a weak screen. Compare that to how open Rubio was tonight. Our offensive scheme simply means our players have to be amazing, instead of running an offense that gets people open and allows players to have off nights while still scoring consistently.
Westbrook really needs to find a balance between passing too much and shooting too much.
Rubio hit 5 threes. Russ, PG, and Melo went 0-14 in the 4th quarter. I don't expect either of these things to happen the rest of the series.
Paul George looks like a one trick pony out there. Honestly looks like Klay Thompson. Which is not horrible but I expect more from PG. He’s supposed to be better. You never see him do anything but shoot jump shots from far out.
That 4th quarter. Sheesh. It was a bad one by the top 3 scorers for the team. I think I read someone say that Russ/Melo/George went 0-14 in the 4th quarter. Can't be true....
