The Oklahoma City Thunder suffers an embarrassing loss to the Houston Rockets, where the OKC Thunder play the worst game of their season so far. Do the Rockets just have the number of the Thunder? Does this even matter for OKC? Josh Giddey plays great, Kenrich Williams is a great impact rotational piece, and Tre Mann is BACK for the Bricktown boys. Speaking of back, Andre Roberson inks an NBA G-League deal with the OKC Blue.

1st growing pains
Damn u cut your hair that's wtz up.. haven't been in here in a while.. I'm a rockets fan but I keep up wit the other rebuilding teams. We got y'all but we'll see y'all again 🤘🏿🚀
It's mentally harder when you go into the match as warm favourites. OKC couldn't handle the burden of favouritism this time. Plus their shooting from the floor stank (36%) and ditto from 3-point range (27%). GOOD to see Mann back in form, Giddey impressed. I. Joe had a tough night BUT did his team-mates use him properly?
Just a bad day in the office from a young and inconsistent team. You are too invested in this loss. Hard to say it’s uncharacteristic loss when we are still working on our brand and Mark keeps experimenting. Most just had a poor night
☝️💯🙌LOVE THE KENRICH KENNY ALWAYS HUSTLE N WILLIAMS RESPECT!!!
Go J-Gidd✌️
this L may stick a rocket under their sphinx-cter[sic] for next game
Nah man. You can’t drop games like this. This goes on the coach for not having these guys ready to play.
Ry is spot on , SGA mean shooting% circa 52±% so for all his ridiculous high shot/miss boxes , we have one on 40 games he has a 30% night , OKC will be nothing if they rely on SGA every night , the entire roster needs to bring it on those few SGA off-nights
I feel like your evaluation of the rockets is off. I saw a team that cares. They also believe they're as good or better than us.
The others need to step up. Point blank period.
Unfortunately dropped a 'soft' game. There's no reason for them to take anything for granted and bet they know this now after being outplayed and rebounded by Houston who I think have won their last 3 or are 4 out of 5 wins after an awful stretch…
All part of a learning curve. They'll bounce back and then some come Sat
Andre should help the yo.ung players with coaching defense
I personally would like to be tanking for the lottery. As fun as it would be to get to the first round of the playoffs this year, being a first round exit for another 3 years would not be fun.
I was expecting more of a fight in the fourth, but we fed their egos all night letting them lead almost the whole game. Sloppy game and not what you’re used to seeing out of this team.
Sga is our franchise guy and I’m sure he’ll learn but he needs to let the game come ti him sometimes I feel like he forces drives needs to sometimes let giddey play make and move off the ball, all 3 drives he forced rockets scored 7 points off it in the last 2 mins!!
I have an issue with the phrase "playing down to the competition." I hate when it's used against the Thunder, and the Thunder team/fans shouldn't say it against other teams. It's disrespectful. It's much better to say that "we need to respect the competition": We didn't do that, and that why this was our fourth consecutive loss to the Rockets.
