Here's what all the experts are saying about the Thunder, past and future:
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah.
Blah.
Blah, ...
Who gave Perkins all that money and said he was the real deal?
Who drafted the KU center who couldn't play?
Who ...
OU football coach Bob Stoops had this scoop during his Tulsa campaign stop: The bottom of the SEC stinks.
What campaign ...
This phrase best describes the Thunder situation: Two and through.
Losing the home wood advantage was a disaster.
Everybody says oh well, they're young, they'll be back many times.
Maybe. Maybe not. Injuries happen. Trades happen. Moods happen. Here is the best the Thunder can hope for: Now.
Everybody is wondering what is going wrong (besides the rotten refereeing).
That would be two things.
One, the coach is making some poor decisions. Putting Durant on LeBron is madness. First, it is hard work. Second, it attracts fouls. Get Durant off Jim Brown and put him on some sleepwalker. Next, don't play around with Westbrook's playing time. Don't yank him for a mistake or two. If he is your player, play him all the time.
Two, the Thunder is choking.
The definition of missing free throws is: A choke.
Without the shakes, the Thunder could have won both games in Miami.
