So.... does Russell get into another tit for tat with Westbrook like he did in the preseason with Curry and go off the reservation? My guess is yes.

If we return to form we should score a lot against this team but the question will be can we stop them? We will need a big game from Clarkson off the bench and shooting above 45% in my estimation to stay in this one.

As for "Beast 2"... Keep an eye on Sabonis. This kid is the real deal as far as a tough nosed PF who can play both ends is concerned. I think he will be a very good "glue guy" for OKC in the very near future.

That's not a guess bud... When you agree with yourself on some random thought you're having about someone else, and you voice it out loud so everyone hears you we call that "throwing shade". Just FYI. Lol

Should be a good game tho. Looking for a bounce back game from the young guns.

Great road test for us.
OKC is a very tough place to play.

I can't wait to see the young guys go at it but I really think the veterans will need to make a difference and step up for us to be competitive on the road in a place like OKC.

Lou, Deng, Mozgov will need to be the coaches on the floor, and help keep the poise when OKC goes on their famous runs.

I doubt DLo will get into a tit for tat with Westbrook. I haven't seen anything from him this season to suggest he'd do that.
He and the rest of the Lakers are playing team ball. This is Luke's influence and part of the major culture change that we are witnessing.

Let's go Lakers

Westbrook will go off. We simply have no one on the perimeter that can even force him to take bad shots. (mind you he'll take some anyways)

Not expecting a win especially in OKC, but looking for a competitive game. I do expect our young players to shoot much better in this game though.

LET'S GO LAKERS

I think we get a win here. Thunder haven't been looking too great, it's Westbrook and Adams and that's it. We have a huge bench advantage and I think that'll be the difference this game.

This is a big test for this team and Luke as a coach. Can we bounce back on the road against a tough team? If we do it will be a big win. Gonna need Randle and Russell to play their best.

WE GOT THIS! lol

I think we will surprise and win this game.

Westbrook will get his. Single cover him and limit the impact of the others instead.

Moz needs to move his feet to hold back Adams. Looking forward to Randle switching on Westbrook.

Make Westbrook play defense!

Hmm... I posed a question and then gave my answer. What's your answer? The kid is very concerned about how he looks rather than how his team is playing it seems. He'll learn I hope.

BTW...... who's "we"?

You "posed a question" and gave your answer. Lol I think you should just say what you're gonna say. I think the question is ridiculous honestly, but hey, to each his own. No need for you to be tricky around here tho. Just say whats on your mind.

This will be a test. Curious if Russell will guard Westbrook.

Have a feeling we are going to be hurt by rebounding issues. Adams and Kanter are relentless on the offensive glass.

I hope not lol.

I wonder if Calderon gets back up PG minutes or Huertas.

I don't.

That straight enough for ya?

Paint points..... That's it

Nice start by Randle so far
