As a Thunder fan since the days of the Supersonics, I've just gone to expect that the Thunder will find new and innovative ways to break my heart. Over time, I've grown to be quite apathetic to their plight.

Faris Khadar 1: I'm not a Seattle native, I live in Wichita and am from Kansas City. 2: If one of the most financially successful cities in the United States can't be bothered to spend money on a new arena for a team that won an NBA title for said city and blessed the team with consistent playoff berths for the team's entire existence, even after ownership is willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars toward the construction of a new arena, then goes back on their morals to throw everything and the kitchen sink to building a hockey arena for the NHL 11 years after refusing to do just that for the Supersonics, I say good riddance. 3: I will follow who I damn well please. Having watched Kevin Durant in college (Texas; Big 12; same conference as KU and K-State), I saw high potential in him after being drafted by Seattle. Even after moving closer to home, my analysis of him was correct. Lots of things have changed, either for better or worse, and I have grown quite tired of the Thunder finding new and creative ways to twist the knife they plant in your back every season. Whether it be dealing with injuries to the core year after year, trading away James Harden to keep Serge Ibaka, getting bitch slapped in the NBA Finals due to an unfair 2-3-2 Best of 7 format in a lockout season, KD with a broken foot, failing to beat those god damned Spurs, blowing a 3-1 Series lead in the Conference Finals after having just gotten the Spurs monkey off their back, losing KD to the fucking Warriors, Russell Westbrook taking awful shots when he's better off passing to someone else, trading away Enes Kanter for Carmelo Anthony, keeping coach Billy Donavan year after year, giving Russell Westbrook (at the time) the biggest contract extension in NBA history after his best years are behind him, losing to Minnesota due to Andrew Wiggins tossing up a miracle half courter that banks itself in, winning only 1 more game in 2018 than 2017 while getting beat by a fucking Rookie in Utah in the first round, unbelievable stretches of bad luck and inconsistency with performance and injury, you name it.
Honestly i hope it happens, that Way if they bring the 2015 play-off game to the series they could get lucky and eliminaste the nuggets. Who knows? Okc is healthy What if they just decided to tone it Down until play-offs?
Why delay the inevitable? Everyone has to go through the Warriors eventually. At least this way, OKC gets the matchup they want instead of getting eliminated by the Rockets or Jazz.
the warriors and suns have missed the playoffs winning 48 games in the past 11 years ..ironically that led to curry and booker for these teams but meanwhile in that same 11 year span we seen 2 east teams go 37-45 and make the playoffs in the hawks and pacers....the bulls once made the mid 80's east playoffs winning 30 games ….the west isn't like that ..since 2004 we seen 5 east teams win less than 39 games make the playoffs while the west that didnt happen since the 97 clippers
Sean Chang That doesn’t make sense, if you’re a good team then you win games regardless of who you face. If OKC can only handle easy teams but can’t beat good teams then that’s another first round exit coming
Grant is a completely underrated starter. As someone who has defended Billy, I question everything he has done this year since he started Patterson over Grant at the beginning of the season. Also, I think the team is just tired, as Schröder, George, Ferguson and Westbrook all had kids in the past few months.
I love the theory... I just have never heard of a team's struggles being broken down because they are tired because multiple players have just had kids. I am not even trying to be sarcastic, I have 2 kids as well and you don't sleep in the beginning lol.
the thunder starting 5 is fine noel is okay but they need some shooting....why didnt they go after a shooter or 2...felton nader morris noel terrence burton cabborot patterson cant be their alternatives off the bench...their gonna get wrecked
@@knicks2030 I've got one 3 year old, and that dude wears me OUT! Russ's wife just had twins and then they have one that is about 2. I'd be EXHAUSTED. LOL.
Dot Dot yea he’s a snake he joined the best team in the league with 3 all stars and a mvp, his rings don’t mean much to most people, him and cousins ruined the nba. Only people that support him are the golden state bandwagons
@stay newbie all he wanted was a ring and okc couldn’t even get to the finals without there young big three and at least kd took them to wcf and got up 3-1 to the warriors and Kevin Durant got a mvp on the thunder
The Thunder have completely no shooting. Tell me one reliable 3 point shooter the Thunder have other then Paul George? Thunder made a big mistake not adding more 3 point shooting at the trade deadline and it’s going to hurt them badly in the playoffs, Thunder really might lose in the first round again.
Andy Hoops yup and defense can only carry you so far. If your a poor offensive team and can’t shoot the 3, you are not making it past the first round in the playoffs. Plus the reason the Thunder have been losing so much since the all star break is because their defense has also struggled. Thunder need to find their elite defensive identity again if the want any chance to make it out of the first round.
I feel as if Andre Roberson not being there is also a problem. Guarding Curry, Harden, Thompson, Durant, Mitchell, DeRozan, Murray, Harris, Dame, CJ, Fox and Heild etc night in and night out is tough
JoeBro915 You already have westbrook and adams that are not great shooters and adding Roberson makes the offence much worst. Sure, the defence is good but OKC will struggle to score over a 7 game series. Plus they can hack Roberson since he is bad from the free throw line as well.
Debra Hoffman I have no idea, I just know we need some All Star offensive talent to stay competitive. We might have to trade Grant or Steve-o (😢) but if it gets us closer to a championship I’d be okay with it.
Savage Boyzzz Marcus Smart is not good on offense lol. I was being hella stupid, I just love Beal. But we do need a floor spacer with other skills, like a Tobias Harris, or we could pick up Terrence Ross next szn
As a thunder fan, I've been saying okc needs to fire billy donovan since early 2016 and still firmly stand behind that. We don't have plays or any offensive schemes. I have absolutely no idea what that man has been doing for the past 4 years, all I know that the team has been coaching itself ever since they got rid of scott brooks
George had seven 40 point games this season while Westbrook had five. They won all those 7 games where PG scored 40+ while won only two on five games where Westbrook got 40+ points.
If Paul George did not get injured he would still be in the MVP discussion and they would still be a top five seed. The offensive flow when Westbrook leads in points is really rough and their team plays so much better when PG was running the defense and offense with Westbrook facilitating
Should’ve never hired Donovan. OKC has struggled with unimaginative offense since Scott brooks, and they’re still suffering the same issues on offense which was the reason brooks was fired to begin with.
I dissagree that the Warriors will sweep the Thunder because PG13 could play good defense on KD, Westbrook could play defense on Curry, Andre Roberson will play good defense on Klay, and Steven Adams could play good defense on Cousins.
Yeah, but you're not going to stop the Warriors with defense only. At some point Curry, Durant or Klay is going to catch fire and then you ain't going to stop them, doesn't matter who you have on them. They have no 3 point shooting besides PG13 and that's going to be one of the biggest problems for them. Btw Roberson is I think still injured. And let's hope PG won't become 'Playoff P' from last year (highly unlikely, but you never know)
The Thunder really need to hope they will end up the season in the 7th seed and not the 8th, it is huge difference between GSW and Denver in a 7 games series
Half a man half amazing Ikr because Denver is a solid team but have no playoff experience however we got eliminated last year by a rookie soo anything could happen there and if we play GSW then we fucked unless curry gets injured
damn it I was expecting to see OKC vs Jazz at first round when their still at 3rd seed, going for rematch of last season series would be super dope, but now it wont happen anyways
OKC is just lucky that Sacramento is eliminated from playoff contention. Which sucks, because I would love to see OKC's reaction to their tanking backfiring.
It doesn’t really matter that much. The first seed only ahead by just 7 wins maybe to the eight seed means it will be a hard playoffs regardless of where seed you are
Raw Vic there’s truth to that look how bad Utah was at the beginning of the season toughest schedule in the league. Now they got the easiest which is why the crept back up.
Tbh I could see the thunder being like the 2000 rockets with tmac and yao Ming without the injuries two good stars who didn't do anything I'm the playoffs
The Thunder's season ended in more dramatic fashion but not in the good way in their side as Dame hit the series clinching buzzer beater and waved goodbye which is fitting because Paul George got traded to the Clippers and Russell Westbrook would soon follow sending him to the Rockets for one worthful season of Chris Paul.
I think okc has been playing bad lately but they said it themselves they are not even trying because they wanna be ready fir the playoffs because they will most likely rely on their defense and thats takes alot of stamina so i just feel like they are pretty much resting getting ready for the playoffs
the only problem is statpadding westbrick. He controls the ball, forcing assists, don't play defence to chase rebounds,and shooting brick like never before.
OKC needs this exit , PG proved to be even greater then he was , proved that him and Russell might work , and are still learning. They needed this wake up call. I hope they improve this offseason to be real contenders.
Let’s be real.. Westbrook takes questionable shots, Paul George has become more perimeter oriented & they lack depth. Schroeder isn’t enough, and they’re missing Roberson on the defensive end. Their bench is abysmal
it' regular season. They may give us some surprises. Or they may not. For sure their RS slowed down a LOT. But a question, was their playoffs spot in danger? It wasn't. That's the answer for their "collapse", i think
Thunder is built to compete with Warriors, its going to be 6 or 7 game series. Hopefully warriors can be tired or wear out by the physicality going into 2nd round
@@pacdeezy Which is very surprising for the Clips since a lot of fans wanted Doc's head on a plate early this season. I think Jerry West knows how to play his role perfectly fits in the turnaround too.
Westbrook hasn’t evolved with the game. He doesn’t move off ball or set screens and picks to open himself or other players. He usually just stands there and waits for something to happen. Now when he has deferred to PG, he does move a bit more and creates more opportunities. Him setting a pick or screen and then his explosiveness creates a huge opening. But he has been going back to this old style of play late.If this is low IQ or just a habit he has to improve. He needs a spot up shooter type in their starting line up, similar to Thompson or Korver. Melo was supposed to be this but failed horribly. That way Russ and PG can draw attention and their gravity can attract other defenders, opening up the spot up shooter.
As a Thunder fan since the days of the Supersonics, I've just gone to expect that the Thunder will find new and innovative ways to break my heart. Over time, I've grown to be quite apathetic to their plight.

Russell Westbrook
Steven Adams

Thunder is built to compete with Warriors, its going to be 6 or 7 game series. Hopefully warriors can be tired or wear out by the physicality going into 2nd round
Who’s here after the Game Winner!!! MVPG ⚡️🙌🏾
Jesus, the other day i checked the standings and they were the 4th seed damn
Jazz and Clippers still have a better record to them. 0 all star on both team. And OKC have 2 all star.
They have good coaches
@@pacdeezy Which is very surprising for the Clips since a lot of fans wanted Doc's head on a plate early this season. I think Jerry West knows how to play his role perfectly fits in the turnaround too.
@@lipstickzombie4981 Yeah Presti needs to surround russ with better shooters than Ferguson and Nader. Billy donavan needs to be fired
Cool 😎 video
Well, they just finished off winning 5 straight
Bring out the brooms if OKC and GOLDEN STATE play?
Yesssir.
keep the beginning music for the whole vid
Somebody said they were the 2nd best team in western conference
They were on their prime this season tho. Not a riddicolous statement whatsoever.
Mason Vlogs
They were before the all star break
Westbrook hasn’t evolved with the game. He doesn’t move off ball or set screens and picks to open himself or other players. He usually just stands there and waits for something to happen. Now when he has deferred to PG, he does move a bit more and creates more opportunities. Him setting a pick or screen and then his explosiveness creates a huge opening. But he has been going back to this old style of play late.If this is low IQ or just a habit he has to improve.
He needs a spot up shooter type in their starting line up, similar to Thompson or Korver. Melo was supposed to be this but failed horribly. That way Russ and PG can draw attention and their gravity can attract other defenders, opening up the spot up shooter.
