1. I know now why Crabbe has not been playing. He looked horrible.

You are right, he did not look good last night. But what else can we expect? You can't expect a young player who has not played meaningful minutes in months to come in and play well in a big game. It just is not going to happen. If he played more then he would not look horrible. They can't all play, but they can't get better without playing.

To be fair, a lot of his shots were right on line. We saw the same thing with CJ, it took him quite a while to get his shot back this season. And it's currently happening with Joel who hasn't been able to hit the broad side of a barn since returning.

OKC only four back now. And we have lost home court advantage. And we are playing the worst defense we’ve played since the JJ Hickson era. So for anyone who tells me not to panic, we might get swept in the first round if we can’t figure out a way to win a darn game or two. And don’t give me the "we’re injured and playing the best team in the league". Maybe we should have beaten sub-500 Miami and Orlando and then I would accept that excuse. Panic button is now firmly pressed

OKC is a lot more then 4 back. Its better to compare losses then wins. Our magic number is still 8 to clinch the division.
Panic all you want but dont panic on the Thunder catching us.
