Thunder Take-Off

How are you feeling about how the Thunder season ended?

It was brutal.

It

was

a very brutal ending.

I think like a lot of Thunder fans, I think I'm of two minds of the kind of the step back, the injuries, the, you know, incredible opponent in the Spurs and yada, yada.

That's the excuse making, the rationalization, the things that ease the pain.

That are, that are true.

You know, I don't think, you know, it wasn't the, it wasn't the 2016 warriors blown a three or one lead or something like that.

Right.

But I, it stings.

I think the, the whole series, because they went up because they had a chance because they gave themselves a chance.

And frankly, because the role players that we were worried about stepping up and giving the stars a chance did so.

And we were down a star down more than that.

And especially one star didn't rise to the occasion the same as the role players.

So I am, I think it was a pretty big bummer and a pretty big failure of a game and kind of last couple, two, three games of the series.

But on the whole, you know, on paper, it's not the worst loss in the world.

It's not the most, you know, blow up the team, you know, fire everyone, trade everyone.

It's not that, but it's

sucked.

Do you feel more rational about it now than you did like an hour after the game?

No, because, uh, so I've written a couple, uh, you know, we heard all the players talk about it.

I've written a couple of pieces on it.

I think, uh, you know, long-term I'm not that upset.

I'm, I'm pretty, I think I'm way high on the chat optimism scale specifically right now relative to the fan base.
