Big test for the team. Let’s see how they handle back to back road games. Looking for George to get on track and Abrines to get 25 minutes.

Abrines needs to let it fly. At least 10 three-point attempts. It would be huge for this team.

I'm heading to the game tonight and sitting next to the visitors' tunnel. Any tips? Love to get some acknowledgement from one of the players but want to avoid being awful. Second Thunder game ever for me in person (curse of living East coast).

I'm rocking my Russ UCLA jersey hoping that gets some love.

Ok.....you guys should try something new tonight. dont denounce the whole roster if they have a bad quarter or half. This thunder team is/will be very good. The kings loss, in westbrooks first game doesnt look bad now, and they couldnt win without him in the first 2, 1 of which was vs. Golden state. Just benching Ferguson (it has to happen at some point, right?) alone will elevate them to an even higher level.

interested in seeing how the wizards look with dwight. last year they had a really good 'death lineup' with otto porter at pf. wall-beal-oubre-porter-gortat was their best performing lineup. seems to me that this lineup with dwight should be even better than before all else being equal.

I could see them giving us all sorts of problems if they penetrate our guards and we go all in and collapse in the paint to prevent wall getting to the rim, and thats were they kill us with kicking out to 3pt line ...

Think it was good they at least guaranteed the split last night. This could go either way and not sure how much Dwight plays That injury and going against Adams isn't a good combo.

When Westbrook comes out, just yell, “No threes, Westbrook! No 3s!!”

Doris Burke, lol. Yes nothing fixes internal chemistry like adding Dwight Howard to the lineup.

Deadfoot looks hesitant like he’s lost his confidence.

Seems that way. George is being very indecisive when he gets the ball in his hands. He can’t make up his mind whether he wants to drive, shoot, or pass. He just needs to make a decision. George did not get the new shooting memo tonight.

How about Grant and Ferguson carrying the offensive load early on. I love it. This team is going to be so fun to watch the rest of the season.

I may be ringing the alarm bells a little too early, but I have a strong feeling that Roberson is getting traded sooner rather than later.

Nerlens looking great on D imo. Good start for us too. We were able to take their first got, with Dwight going 6/6 at somehow!

Our offense kept up with theirs. Everyone is shooting well except George.

We look very active, let's see how that holds up regarding that its a B2B for us.

I really like our shot selection, we are taking very good shots and moving the ball long enough to create them.
