Thunder lose game 7: Chris Paul vs James Harden and Russ in the clutch, SGA, Lu Dort's career night, Donovan's disservice

Rylan Stiles dives into the Oklahoma City Thunder losing game seven and ending their magical season at the hands of the Houston Rockets. The Thunder outplayed the Rockets but one thing killed them in this game. Billy Donovan was a disaster, but should he be back next year? Chris Paul's costly turnovers are a product of his roster, while costed OKC a ton of important possessions, it gets overlooked if Donovan can use a whiteboard properly. Russ and Harden combined for 6 points in the fourth. Lu Dort goes off for 30 points, a career high, and the best performance from an OKC Thunder rookie of all time. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has to be better in a big spot, but luckily he is a second year player with only one issue to fix. THE FUTURE IS REALLY BRIGHT THOUGH!!! DISCLAIMER: I am really excited about the future, and Friday's show and the rest of the offseason will be exclusively positive context!!
