Nice tribute and fan reception for WB.

But didn't he technically ask to leave? So not that different from KD leaving?

Maybe if the team wasn't playing so well, the reaction might be a little different?


Also wonder about the reception to PG13. He wasn't there as long but he did choose to re-sign at OKC.

That is before he asked to leave.

Crowd is in to this game. Players seem a bit amped as well.

Can we not do this?

if the playoffs were in December/January, Steven Adams would be underpaid.

We may still end up losing this game, but we need to take this uniform and rebrand the entire organization around it.

I want us to trade our older guys for assets but damn this team is really nice to watch. We can't complain as Thunder fans this year. Next season will probably be ugly.

Sucky way to end the half. Had the lead up to 18, the Schroder stupidly reaches in on Harden behind the 3-pt line and Harden predictably flails and gets a 3-shot foul. We don't score, and Harden comes down and hits a three towards the end of the half to cut the lead to 12. If Harden heats up in the second half, we aren't winning this one.

Hard to believe this is the same team that was 5-10 at one point.

We're 17-6 since.

Good for Westbrook. Very touching tribute. And also good for us, for beating his ass this time. Great game. I'm really enjoying this team right now.

Difference between the Durant situation and this is the fanbase could tell that version of the team had run its course, AND the team got a ton of draft picks in return. They weren't coming off blowing a 3-1 lead in the conf. finals and having the Superstar turncoat cut and run for the opposition to go get some meaningless rings with nothing in return.

By the way can we just go ahead and make those the new team colors? The black and gold was a breath of fresh air.

Very satisfying win. It would be so nice if you could meet the Rockets in the playoffs and knock em out.

They accidentally fell in to a well rounded team. 3 good guards who play different roles. 2 good big men that play different roles. 2-3 young athletic defenders as well.
