Agree with you on Collison. Listening now.

PatPat coming back will be huge. Perfectly possible we're better with him + starters than Melo + starters.

This reminded me, thanks for the Lowe Post recommendation. The one with Eagle was great, I enjoy just listening to his voice.

Late find but fwiw, worst ts% in league by player with over 500 minutes last season? Semaj. Domantis 16th worst.

Thunder players in best 50? None. Kanter at 52nd. Adams at 64. No one else in top 100. Abrines at 132. Westbrook at 152.

GSW with 4 in top 20. Houston with 3, then: 2 now.

Watching other teams makes me aware of how much our bench will need help. I really hope Presti can address this sooner rather than later.

For when shot totals or shooter quality comes up: Westbrook's efg% last season was 338th best in league.

Do you go to many other Sixer's games? I love watching them. Health provided (not a certainty with them unfortunately :nonono:

) they remind me so much of the Thunder about 2009-10. You can just see all that young talent. A couple decent vet role players. Just trying to figure out how to win.

Very negative.

Just bought mine today too for Nov 5th in Portland. Been to the last 4 here, and we've lost every time. Time to break the curse!

I've been going to 1 a year just because when I go I try to get good seats, I'm like 10-15 rows up so they're a bit of a treat for myself. This year I might go to another and get cheap seats, but like them a ton too, they're my local broadcast obviously so I want to see them do well just for that. Embid is a joy to watch too.

Longest thread title ever. /s

I hope we don't play Patterson tomorrow. Knicks should be easy to handle. Play it safe, guys. It's a long season.

Naive even

At any rate, will be great to get Patterson back. Will be a big piece for the bench. At full strength, they have pretty quality depth.

Loving the title.

Have we traded Jerami Grant yet.

I highly doubt we'll see one before November, at the earliest.

The staff will definitely want to see what we have before trading anyone.
