The Warriors' opening-night loss to the Clippers was bad, but it was tame compared to what happened Sunday in Oklahoma City.
Golden State trailed 70-37 at halftime and things got measurably worse in the third quarter.
Just over three minutes into the period, Steph Curry tried to drive around Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson, but the two-time MVP inadvertantly hit Ferguson in the groin.
The game officials reviewed the play and assessed a technical foul to Curry.

But that wasn't even the strangest part of the quarter.

Two minutes later, D'Angelo Russell drove to the hole and made a tough fallaway shot. But he felt a foul should have been called and got in the refs face. Russell was immediately given a technical foul, but he didn't walk away and no Warriors teammates came to save him from himself. Russell kept talking and was quickly assessed a second technical foul and a ticket for an early shower.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the Thunder increased the lead and took a 37-point lead into the fourth quarter.

If you hadn't already figured it out, this is going to be a long season for the Warriors.
