Winning 6-4. Lets hold this lead!!!
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.

Haven't been watching, how have we scored 40 on like 2 assists?
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Gallo must not want to play in Portland.

Despite the fouling a typical broken shot of all thunder draft picks, Dort has good size and speed. He could develop into a good defender.

When shai has his confidence, he’s a different player.

Every single thunder player was a + tonight in the boxscore. Defense was solid. Shai had a great fourth after a lousy first three quarters. An aggressive cp3 helps a lot. We are now 2-0 without Ferguson and having Nader as the starter. Maybe those on/off numbers were legit.

CJ and Dame 45 shots to get 46 points. Also Dort tackled Whiteside so that automatically makes him a winner.

Didn't get to watch this one. Anyone have more overall analysis of Dort's fouls? Trying too hard, rookie hazing, dumb plays, too handsy, or ?

First and last, but one was kinda rookie hazing. He made both CJ and Dame work for everything tonight though

Horne’s comments-
Before fouling out with 4:34 left in the fourth quarter and the Thunder ahead 92-86, in the six minutes Dort played in the fourth, McCollum and Lillard went a combined 1-of-6. Dort was the primary defender on three of those six plays. The duo shot 0-of-3 on those plays.
The only made basket was when the Thunder switched defensively and McCollum scored around Adams and Darius Bazley...
The Thunder committed just one shooting foul in the first 18 minutes, and it was a dubious call on Dort while defending Lillard.
Otherwise, Dort held his own, even staying disciplined on his first possession, not biting on Lillard’s attempt to lean in and draw a foul on a mid-range shot.

hope it will be fast but think it ill take a bit more time to trade Gallo.
CP3 will probably end the season in OKC.
Not sure Presti wants to trade Adams but that's another possibility...
Didn't want the win but glad Portland lost and Melo had 4/18

He has that offensive potential, hopefully gets the chance at 15-20 minutes a game with second unit.
Defensively he is already there.
