“Pathetic” OKC Questioned Live for Aaron Gordon Treatment After 1st Quarter vs Nuggets in Game 7

The Oklahoma City Thunder are getting torched online — and on the court — after a brutal first quarter in Game 7 against the Denver Nuggets. NBA analyst Skip Barnes didn’t hold back, declaring on-air: “This is seriously pathetic. The NBA is about to be laughing at the Oklahoma City Thunder. They’re getting exposed.”

Most of the slander is centered around the Thunder’s failure to contain Aaron Gordon, who posted 3 points and 5 rebounds in under 8 minutes, dominating OKC’s front line with ease. Meanwhile, the Thunder’s own starters combined for just 14 points on 38.5% shooting, going an ugly 1-of-8 from deep.

The Thunder’s physicality and poise — their biggest strengths all year — look completely absent against Denver’s veteran core. If this keeps up, this Game 7 might get out of hand early. OKC needs a serious reset before the second quarter even begins.

(This is a building story…)
