So many geniuses who think they know better than the coach who sees the players every day in practice, meetings, workouts, Etc. We lost that game because basically no one outside of Shai could make a shot. People trying to pin that loss on something like Lindy getting minutes are ridiculous. Coach has an extremely young team completely bought in, playing and defending hard, and most of our young guys are developing quickly and are already better than anticipated. If he thinks player X deserves some minutes on a given night, then I do too. The team was missing shots and got a little rattled in one of the toughest places to play on the road. Games like this will happen. I, for one, have complete faith in Coach Mark.

Some people are overreacting but we can’t just wait around wasting a superstars prime years for “development” criticizing Mark for bad rotations or Giddey for playing bad is fine. You can have whatever process you want but Shai is in his prime and we aren’t priotorizing him we’ll ruin all our cap for domestic abusers and Latvian terrorists but if you dare mention trading or signing a supporting piece it’s the end it’s the end of the world. Like why are we playing Lindy Waters 20 minutes and giving Wiggins dnps people worship Presti so much that they don’t dare to question anything the organization does and if you do you’re called a hater.

Imagine staying up till midnight just to watch us lose because Mark is pulling Chet 3 minutes into the game and giving Waters 20 minutes of PT.

It’s like 5 very vocal and very stupid “fans” the rest are cool. Don’t let 5 dummies ruin it for you. Just call them dumb-dumbs and keep it moving.

Lindy shouldn’t of played 20 mins is all I can say should of been different

You know what I hate? Fans who expect fans to be monotonous. I hate that shit. I’m on the Titans sub and it’s the same posts.

“Hey guys! I feel this way and you should too!!!”

I hate that shit as it stifles personalities. If someone has a compelling thought or feeling or hot take…LET THEM COOK. Every game should not be “Presti told us to sit down when we pee and I’m finding it feels fine…”

Fuck, what the hell does OP want this sub to be??? Let folks vent! Just stay the hell out the threads as most of those are painfully obvious that they’re frustration rants.

Or should mods just make this a damn circlejerk where negativity is banned??? Let me know.

I followed Baker when he went to the Browns. What I can tell you is that they had the exact same mentality every single year until the playoffs were out of reach.

It’s only the beginning of the season, don’t overreact, you have to give it time, we’ll there’s next season

Rinse, wash, repeat

The games at the beginning of the season count just as much as the ones at the end. Now you’re going to lose some, but you just do your best to make sure it’s because they were the better team, not because of some boneheaded move that makes no sense, ie JR Smith not scoring

Because the terminally online fans are mentally weak and can’t process feelings properly

Thunder got some well deserved hype this off-season. More casuals are involving themselves in the Thunder’s success. These are good problems to have but for the die hard fans it’ll be obnoxiously frustrating.

They don’t watch the games, or not enough of them to understand the flow of a season. Enjoy the basketball don’t let them ruin this fun for you.

Gatekeeping fandom is cringey AF.

That part 👊🏽👊🏽

I haven’t enjoyed this sub at all this season. So much hate being throw at various guys.

It’s just gross.

It’s a small vocal minority. Most here are pretty grounded and positive

And as has been said already, Mark is probably the best coach we’ve ever had. Both Scottie Brooks and Billy were miserably ineffective at the biggest moments

Trust the process
