Russ and Dre both excellent. Great game.

2nd half of a back to back, but this was a really good win.

This is about as well as we can play. I’m glad these guys are figuring it out.

12-3 in DEC

Every win matters

Keep it going

Presti get on the phone, the bench is awful

we did a really good job with the off ball screens today freeing up paul george. o.g. oogie boogie couldn't keep up with them.

Thunder Starters: Russ +26, Robes +26, Carmelo +24, +23, George +11

Raptors Starters: Valanciunas -28, Lowry -27, Ibaka -24, Anunoby -19, DeRozan -18

The only reason George was "only" a +11 is because he was a part of that lineup in the 1st and 2nd quarter that turned a 9-point lead into a 12-point deficit. Our starters ran circles around the Raptors starters tonight and then some.

They haven’t even hit their stride yet IMO. It’s not even January.

Starting to win, starting to show beautiful basketball, starting to stop choking in the third and in clutch time.

With a decent bench we would be the 2nd best team in the NBA.

Great game, and hoping the TWolves lose a tight one here in OT. Either way, someone has to lose, and it helps us.

Get him one more quality guy off the bench and I think that becomes a strength as well.

I disagree. We can be better.

Quality win, the Thunder is good at basketball.

Wonder what goes through Presti’s mind for trade deadlines to reinforce the bench.

He's probably thinking about the best way he can spin Abrines to other GMs.

By a very small margin. Otherwise only by improving our bench.

Really just don't understand why posters here are pushing Bradley. It's not even like he's the most likely/cheapest option. Evans and Williams are better.

Tyreke Evans and Lou Williams?

Give me Bradley all day and take the best defense in the NBA to historic levels.
