The hope and promise that came with Oklahoma City’s game three win over Portland on Friday faded to frustration and resentment on Easter Sunday. The Trail Blazers took a commanding 3-1 series edge with the 111-98 win which led Thunder fans casting plenty of blame on Billy Donovan and Russell Westbrook.

Your right Russ can ball hog but if he is then get shooters out there that can shoot decent like Patterson or Nader he can kick out to and playing 3 guards 6’3 and down is stupid as well there are so many dumb decisions Billy has made this series that HE COULD CONTROL

Fire Billy and trade Westbrook. He has had his time being the leader, its time to move on and build around a healthy Paul George next season

Is it possible to fire billy right now?
— Keaton Seabrooks (@skaterboy_4512) April 22, 2019
I think it's about time to re-evaluate Westbrook being on this team

If you ever need to build a brick house, call 1-800-westbrick. Will toss bricks and grab the same bricks all day long.

westbrook scored 1 point on 0-7 shooting in the second half, at this point ill take mike conley over him

I’ve spent all my time supporting OKC defending Russ. Well no more, all he’s done is wind up Dame/Portland which has resulted in them playing better, whilst he’s had an awful post season. YET AGAIN
— Bankzy (@BankzyNFFC) April 22, 2019
Please trade for Russ fire billy and build around Paul George

2/2of when they play their brand of basketball. Of losing to teams we should beat. Of not making it past the first round for three straight years. I’m sick of a lot of things. No, it wasn’t a “good season.” It’s another major disappointment, and Billy has got to go.
— 🏀ThunderStruck⚡️ (@ThunderStorm280) April 22, 2019
Need a rebuild or a complete overhaul, this being stuck in the middle of being good to make the playoffs then do nothing else is embarrassing. Glad we are in the luxury tax for this.
— Bray (@tornado1_72) April 22, 2019
Westbrook has always been the problem. It's insane OKC fans won't admit it at this point

Pains me to say it but I really wish Russ had not been extended. He will never lead OKC to a championship. Best case scenario is him demanding a trade
— Andy ThUnDeR ⬆🏀 (@That_AndyGuy) April 22, 2019
Westbrook's basketball IQ is somewhere around 4.
— Sean Stonecipher (@stoneus_maximus) April 22, 2019
Trade Russ please
— Ife (@IfedayoAdekeye) April 22, 2019
Now we can stop talking about Russ talking crap to journalist, and focus on how to avoid being out in the first round

I’m counting down the hours until Billy Donovan is gone.
— Dan Beckmann (@3dbeckmann) April 22, 2019
So Donovan’s gameplan after consistently losing is to change nothing and get lucky? K just checking

Fire Billy donovan
