Every single postgame the negative comments on mark roll in, but he’s by far the best coach the thunder have ever had, and one of the best in the league in my opinion.
Maybe you disagree with a few moves here and there, but he has a team we expected to be in the playin, in second place in the west, despite giddey playing like a less athletic less skilled Kyle singler.
I think it’s fair for people to get frustrated when a game is winnable and to give it away.
Whatever your theory or reason is behind it, if we don’t play our superstars and we play Lindy or some other move and we lose the game, then yeah people are going to be upset because the game was winnable.
So far the teams we’ve beat have all been a bunch of scrubs. But the tough teams like wolves and 76ers? Lost by 3. Lost by 4. Definitely winnable, and it never feels good to lose.
Fans need to understand that the Thunder are going to run 10+ man lineups every night. Especially through like 80% of the season. Those deep bench guys will continue to get looks so they can develop.
I don’t think guys getting minutes has ever been a complaint. Keeping both superstars out while you sub in guys that lose us the game is a crazy concept
