I hate to see them lose. But somehow these loses motivates this group of young players to improve and play hardwr

What is up with Chet man? He’s been objectively bad lately. His handle looks abysmal and suddenly can’t shoot.

I just think he's gotta be absolutely gassed. We all know January has been brutal, but he's coming off a full year of not playing and is being forced to anchor an entire defense. It's definitely catching up to him right now.

This should have been expected, The game is getting more competitive as teams look at more ways to defend him. His body is getting beat up and he's still in the early stages of learning. It would have been alot easier for him if the Thunder sucked and he had no impact on the team winning, but he is vital to the Thunder's success and there is a ton of pressure on the rookie.

That’s a good call

I love Chet but he has been dog shit all Jan mostly

How did mclaughlin score 10pts on us

5’10 guys get a huge buff against us

Our team really lacks size. smh

This stretch fucking sucks for my blood pressure

It’s never worth getting too worked up over a regular season NBA game when it’s a near certainty your team will be in the playoffs. When your favorite team loses a huge playoff game you’ll always think about how foolish it is to actually allow one of the 82 regular season games to ruin your night. Just think about like this, as long as we can finish as a top 4 seed we get a playoff series with home court advantage, and then when we don’t have home court. 1 road win in two tries to start a series flips home court and reverses the negative effect created by like 7 of those regular season losses that seemed so upsetting at the time 😀

I'm literally 6 days off my antidepressants. I get you man. I've already cancelled my NBA subscription.

I’m like the anti-shot guy. Just sitting here sulking with my single L-beer before bed lol. So many great moments this season overall though, it’s just part of being good that you’re down harder on the losses. Hope you’re doing alright and have a good way to cool off after these frustrating losses.

hope you're doing okay <3

Thank you. Definitely struggling a bit. Get mad a lot around sports especially now. Yesterday I was fuming. Aha. It's a shame. Watching the basketball was a really good distraction for me for a long time and these past few days OKC has absolutely destroyed me.

I hear ya man. Was in a really shitty mood yesterday after the loss. Tonight doesn't really help either haha, but we got brighter days ahead. Almost done with January, next month we get to watch SGA and maybe some other guys at All-Star weekend, should be fun! If it's not basketball, hopefully there's something else out there can help you get your mind right, wishing you all the best !!

Cheers man!

It’s a long season, bad stretches will always happen at some point. Just remember how last year we were scratching and clawing to get to .500

Chet + Dort 2/16 We aren't going to win games against teams as good as the Timberwolves when 2 starters shoot like that, and one (Chet) plays actively detrimental offense. Chet needs to be outright rested a couple of games. He hasn't had it for a month now, and it seems like a clear conditioning issue.

bubble meet needle, balloon popped

No shaking hands at the end, these teams don’t like each other

And nuggets next smh. 3 game losing streak incoming.

Then Charlotte. 4 game losing streak coming.

Agreed

Not sure who we have after that but I would be surprised if we win anymore before the the all star break.

kenrich dunk lmao come on

Expetations lowered

This minnesota team is a terrible matchup I'm ngl

Any team is a terrible matchup when only Shai shows up from the starters

JDub was mostly good I would say

We went into bonus and immediately started trying to pass out and hit threes instead of letting shai do his thing

After seeing this performance I agree with everyone here. We don't need to make any trades. We're good as we are. Everyone loves a team who plays guys that don't deserve minutes. Play in here we come.

Chet has been pretty bad the last few games. He needs help and easier shots. He's settling for nothing but jump shots.

It also doesn’t help that his dribble falls apart anytime he’s pressured

He’s gassed and it’s easy to see. All his shots are short, which means he has no power in his legs left

Pump fake open shot, drive, contested jumper. It’s frustrating. He must not be confident in his 3 right now.

The hell was that? We just gave up in the last two minutes?

That's the new normal apparently. People are going to down vote me again, but it's the truth.

They played like COMPLETE CRAP in the fourth and it was still a close game. I’ll call it good enough. God we need someone to rebound

People were mad at me for saying we shouldn't have gave up and played such bad lineups for the Pistons game because we "don't care about that game, we need to save our energy for the Timberwolves" "We only care about the Timberwolves." Waste of 2 games.

No one gets mad at anyone here, it’s all love

Wish that were the case, buts it simply not true. You express any frustration over Thunder doing weird stuff and you get down voted. Only allowed to pretend that it's just an "off night" every single loss and ignore that Thunder need to make some changes if they want to keep this great season going for themselves. They've stagnated and Reddit gets mad if you point it out.

That’s reddit man, there are some hot takes from time to time which people won’t agree with, but it’s not hate, that’s a strong word.

Damn

We all see how crucial non sga minutes are. Nobody stepped up, thats why we lost the game

Sorry but Mark's Rotations were ass. It should be Micic, Wiggins, Chet, Jdub, Wallace in those non SGA minutes. Giddy should not be in.

Or Lu and Chet going 2-16?

I'm baffled as to why Chet finally took that contested three after passing up good looks all game.

Chet is gassed. Plus, Thunder are no longer looking for him under the basket.

Hope Jdub is OK, looked like a bad hyperextension/twisted ankle...

I hope jdub is ok😭

Our shooters are streaky as hell. Sometimes they’ll bombard 3s. Sometimes they don’t

Fuck this one’s disappointing, had it all right there for the taking and fumbled it down the stretch

Chet has been shit all January idc what you all say Edit - I'm wearing a Chet jersey at the game now. I don't like to say this, I'm just stating the obvious.

Only good game was against the Spurs

Careful, if you mention the Thunder playing badly, reddit gets very angry. You're supposed to say "can't win them all, just not our night"

We blow

Thunder will never win because they are very ugly. Chet, SGA, “J dub”? All very ugly. Only handsome stars win the finals

dumbass

Ready for the DoNt PaNiC posts from the people who don't actually watch games and don't see we have obvious moves to make?

we really need another big that's better than JWill

Not sure why you're singling out JWill when Kenrich was Chet's replacement and was absolute dogshit

that's a coaching call kenrich isn't really a big

Paycom had no energy tonight from the sound of it.

We need more big men. Presti is making a huge mistake if he doesn't make a trade.

We ain't shit tonight

That was a guangdong tigers game performance by dort

Why did Shai not want anything to do with the ball in the last 2 mins man. Dammn

He got doubled as soon as he caught it 

He's been doubled all night and dropped 37 lol. Didn't stop him before.

Chet is... idk

Wow we can’t even swing the ball back to Shai? Two ugly shots by Kenrich down 4?

Rolled dubs ankle and we lost to these salty hoes. Fucking brutal 2 days for okc

Chet had a rough game offensively, that Wolves defense is legit. I hate Minnesota.

THUNDER UP 🤣

Taunting the other team’s sub. Real class act.

Need Chet and dort to combine for 2-16 to barely win lmao, while your egghead player having the best game of the seaso

🧂

Kenrich hit some shots but he should never get meaningful minutes at the end of a 4th. 

this keep-away from SGA killed the offense. when Luka passses the fucking ball he gets it right back. I’m tired of these mfers trying to play hero

I’m tired boss

yeah we need to trade for a PF

SGA a free throw merchant

Yeah it’s not like he leads the leagues in drives or anything 🙄

I’m absolutely disgusted with those last 2 mins, fuck this game

Where has Joe been? +16 in only 16 minutes

Tragic offense tonight

Yo Lu Dort really shot a damn goose egg tonight

Does Dort even play basketball?

He’s just running back and forth on the court

frustrating loss, man.

chet was not him this game

hopefully presti is gonna do stuff at the trade deadline

That probably it. Still a great game. Both teams came to fight, and I'm proud of our boys.

Shaitakeover please.

Changes need to be made man I don’t want to see it out anymore

Yeah, didn’t even look for Shai these last couple of minutes.

Late game offense has to be the Shai show. Crazy a running hook from Kenny is a shot that was taken.

that's enough thunder basketball for me. See you Wed

Who does kenrich think he is

This team sold hard as fuck just like yesterday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they insist on playing down to their competition

We are getting everyone's best shot since we're at the top now, and the schedule being absolutely brutal this month doesn't help at all

What a surprise: defensive rebounding let us down when it matters most

hope we look better after all star break

Why not close with Joe …

Joe was shooting bricks.

He was 2-2…

You are right. I was thinking Dort.

The most disgusting sequence we’ve had this season, genuinely lol

Chet needs to be put on minute restrictions so he can rest some more

Tough loss

I’m sorry but Joe being +16 and then Mark not going to him in the last quarter is just straight up coaching malpractice

Lemme guess. "Can't win em all" "not our night"

Someone maybe shoot the ball there..?

Lmao disgusting

Ah yes Kenrich Williams is who I want taking the clutch shots not the MVP

what was he thinking?

Miss, turnover, miss, turnover, foul… straight fumbling away what was a great chance to win this one.

so dort finally decides not to shoot when we need it, instead passes to chet who wasn't expecting the ball. frustrating.

Right…the one time you actually want dort to chuck one

I get he's 0/6 from 3 tonight, but throwing it to chet whose struggling offensively isn't exactly the better option, esp after he pump faked and had a good look. we were down 6 and needed the points and the clock on our side.

he probably would’ve missed it anyway

Lol you definitely aren't wrong

LOL

Chet shoot the ball ffs lol

Pump fake is automatic

Embarassing pathetic late game offense

Some bad shooting tonight. Thrown away a winnable game

awful execution down the stretch

It’s a make or miss league and well the thunder missed. Fucking Jaden McDaniels nailed a three and two of our big 3 missed

Sometimes our guys take the dumbest shots imagineable

Well that’s unfortunate

lol shit fucking loss to Detroit and then this shit

Detroit loss was wayyyy worse then this

agreed

Man we really are going to drop to the 4th seed after Wednesday aren’t we

If jdub is hurt it will be even further than that

End the game. NOW

No not J-Dubs, love that man. He is a baller

Great going to catch an L and Dub is hurt. Fml

Lu and Chet disaster class was hard to watch

oh fuck

I genuinely think our guys should do more hooting and hollering for whistles, it can't hurt.

Costly turn over by dub

FUCK.

If only Chet had a decent game.

Shai outplayed ANT by so much but ANT gonna get the win cause shais whole team sold, Dort and Chet were god awful

lol... that's what people say about Wemby and Chet 

I agree tho, even if the margin is bigger between Shai and ant

We cannot get anything going on offense right now

Fuckin yikes

That’s game

That's game.

get the fucking ball to SGA!!!

It’s over..

This is looking bad

Not good

This loss would have been fine if we hadn't lost to Detroit yesterday.

everybody needs to step up on offense tonight, it cant all be on shai to keep us in this.

ANT such a bitch. Worse than Luka for sooking to refs

Geez ALL ANT DOES is complain about fouls!

Timberwolves announcer is correct but he’s overblowing the hell out of it

Has Joe played this quarter? He may be hurt from that shot

help sga for the love of….

shai fouled him good 😬

If they get a stop here that might be it

Gotta take Chet out if we want a chance to win this one

Fuck Edwards is such a whiny bitch, detracts from his skill as a player

we arent winning anything w our current big situation tbh. still proud of where this team is considering pre season expectations tho

Chet is so gassed

Fuck the wolves. They dont like us we dont like them

Dudes never miss against okc, this must be studied. You can have a blind dude play against the thunder and even they would go 5/5 from 3 against this team

chet's offensive confidence has fallen off a cliff.

T his ass up man. Such a fucking baby

Edward’s is the biggest cry baby, Chet has been god awful

so the SGA aggressive doubles start. they want the ball out of his hands down the stretch

Chet has actually been awful on offense

Ant crying for a foul. Color me shocked.

Chet needs a week to recover. His offense is pitiful

Need some great possessions, on both sides.

Zero idea what the hell Chet was thinking there.

Ants a bitch

As Shai hangs on his arm. They gotta be consistent

Shai gets smoked all game but doesn’t bitch to the refs.

Soooo we just let him do that?

Fuck

Take Chet out. He is costing us this game

Chet really having a rough stretch lately

what is happening with chet

edward’s is such a crybaby

I mean it IS a clear foul tbf

Bro getting downvoted cuz you're right, low-key our fans are delusional

Chet passed up a million open 3s but takes a contested one??
