    Ngl, even with no expectations heading into this season, this one hurt.

    And that’s a good thing, been a while since I had this feeling.

  2. Calm-Cry4253

    Times like these where I’m frustrated with Presti’s patience. Chet is out there warming up before games and is probably healthy to play (his IG even indicates that), but we’re just going to continue to stay small in must win games and not let him play until October. FREE 7

  3. SpideyPoke92

    You lost today kid, doesn’t mean you have to like it.

    (Indy’s theme plays as Chet takes the court next year)

  4. Swish4141

    Not the end of the world since the Jazz and Mavs lost but this one hurts

  5. dys0n_giddey

    We didn’t play terrible, but certainly not one of our best games

    Giddey was bossin

  6. New_Essay_4869

    Utterly disappointing. Too often, the squad looks like theyre not ready to play to start a game. I get that the team is young, but this is a bad habit that needs to stop

  7. ConnorChandler

    Back to tanking we go! Presti apparently made the call to the team

  8. AccordingDiet481

    I remember watching an episode of a medical show where a guy had a heart attack because of his frustration with the Knicks. I really feel that sort of frustration with this past road trip.

  9. Iron_Maniac

    Good game by Giddey and also JRE off the bench.

  10. Marcel_Idolo

    Disappointing but the next 3 are all winnable games

  11. If I knew we would lose, would have liked to see Poku out there at least for old time sake

  12. MiniMozzies

    Giddey kept us alive and we couldn’t convert, good game from him but some plays weren’t ideal. We just gotta learn from this and come back stronger.

  13. talkingfacefloor

    i love SGA, but man, he had some seriously questionable possessions at the end there. same with Giddey on the inbound.

    would love to see our guys in the play-in/playoffs but don’t expect much from them other than getting experience in need-to-win games. which they desperately need as seen in this game against a bunch of fucking role players and 75% of AD.

  14. DisgruntledPelican78

    No answer for AD, we have a huge hole at center, and Jwill can try hard, but we need Chet.

  15. OKCDraftPick2028

    Laker fan here,

    man you guys are 1 center away from competing.

    lot of intensity played in that game. hope we both make it in the playoffs

  16. ScutumSobiescianum

    By far Giddey best player on court, arguably best game. We just lacked size, someone to give AD a little trouble and experience. Other than that we tried our nuts off

  17. Josheshua

    At least we have the tie breaker over dallas

  18. Egyptianballa

    This game hurt, I forgot what this pain felt like

  19. RANGER---

    Chucking 3s is what hurt us most when we were tied down the stretch

    Edit: grammar

  20. DowntownTopRanking

    I can’t say that I’m surprised by this loss. Anyone who saw yesterday’s game should’ve known we’d be BBQ chicken without a true center on the floor. Ty Lue paid dearly on Tuesday for putting a small ball lineup on the floor, and he course-corrected yesterday by giving Zubac heavy minutes (and by putting fast guards on the floor). Even Darvin Ham knew that AD was going to be their ticket to winning this game.

    We need rim protection ([and I can’t believe I was downvoted for saying this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunder/comments/120lt5h/comment/jdi7kex/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)). It’s beyond me why Saric and Sarr were benched the whole game — I hope somebody asks Mark why in his post-game interview.

  21. Sauce4243

    That open drive for AD and the put back the next play to get him going for the night hurt. With AD playing forceful was always going to be a massive ask to stay with them but we did and got close

  22. im_no_roy_donk

    Should’ve drafted Jalen Duren. Instead we drafted a “project” at 11 that’ll most likely not turn out like the Tre Mann situation. This’ll be highly downvoted but it’s true.

  23. DowntownTopRanking

    Count me among the ppl who wanted SGA to skip yesterday’s game for injury management so he could focus on the Lakers game. We didn’t get the best version of SGA tonight.

    The team went into yesterday’s Clippers game 3-0 in that series, so we should’ve made the Lakers game the priority — they’re who we’re battling for a play-in slot.

  24. Few-Dance-7157

    We need a legit 5. JRE and Ft Smith would make nice 4’s if we had a legit 5. Who knows how we look with Chet in the mix next season. Can he hold his ground against an Anthony Davis?

  25. IntellectualSavante

    I don’t know why you guys are crying so much. I hope we lose every game from here on out. Tank City.

  26. Heartbreaking loss, lack of frontcourt depth just killed us at the end.

    I know Chet will help but there’s a lot more needed from the front court to get this team deep into the post season.

  27. TragicsHS

    Became painful obvious how badly we need a tall center, AD was absolutely feasting. can’t wait for chet
