They should play the WCFs now and save everyone some time.

We've beat them by 40 twice in a row. Williams went off and we still got the win. Every team plays these games, we just overreact to them.

It's a strange time when spearsy is the positive voice of reason!

KD has taken less than 20 shots six times in his last ten, and only more than 21 once. I know he prides himself on being a team first kind of superstar but we need him shooting.

I'm directing all my negative emotions towards Kanter and Dion :lol:

he was fouled. Got the free throws. How was it blown?

Yeah, I'm taking nothing really from this, other than I'm shocked Dion was benched.

I don't think they called the foul on the shot, if so it was really late. In real time it definitely looked like he blew it, and he posted immediately.

I'm really trying to be positive about Kanter but he was awful. In this game. Scored 15 but was -12 and defensively was simply tragic.

He made the FTs which was fine. But what if the refs missed or didn't make the call? That was such an easy layup.

My post was right when he missed it FWIW.

on the positive side Adams has shot about 75% FT in his last 10 games

Classic Dion though, follow up his best game of the season with one of his worst.

Well, on the bright side we didn't lose.

spearsy23 · Post #1632 » by **spearsy23** » Sat Jan 9, 2016 6:34 am

We owe Byron Scott a huge thanks. Why go to the guy who has 20+ points in the quarter to end the game?

I hate the Lakers and that game was tough to watch. Well I'll see Kobe in person for the last time April 11th. Tickets for that game have tripled. Glad I'm a season ticket member and only paid face value

Serge played 30 minutes and only grabbed 1 rebounds, 0 blocks, 0 steals, 0 assists, 1 turnover, and scored 7 points.

Russ, KD, and Donovan need to look at the statsheet and tell him this **** is unacceptable. :nonono:

Wow! I thought Dion Waiters was finally about to break out of his slump.. Then he goes 1-7
Smh!

There's barely a slump to break out from. He's just trash. Matter of fact now that Singler's back from the worst slump ever, we should give Morrow and Singler all backup wing minutes. There's no reason for Donovan to keep Dion out there. Morrow is definitely a better 2way player than Dion and Kyle apparently is tons better on D.

Our expected W-L should be 28-9 according to BKRef.

Man, what a game. At least Dion got benched.

That isn't bad considering the context (Durant injury, Ibaka injury, new coach).

By the way, I'm thinking about doing a little piece called "Super 7" which would analyze some stats and give kind of a snapshot of where the Thunder are at as a team every 7 games. Would you guys be interested? Also, if so, I'd love a partner to kind of throw me some statistics or some observations.

Cool, I'd def recommend the PC board too if they're related to KD or Russ, in their player threads. I've learned way more there on stats than anywhere. Usually if rapm updates come out you can find em there too!
