Hope everything is ok with Ferg but this is kind of getting old.

Read on twitter it has something to do with his Grandma. That could be completely false though.

Abrines had wormes so..yeah better wait.

Guess the Thunder organization is really great when it comes to protect to keep their players privacy...could be frustrating for the fans.

Has Dort officially taken Ferg's job yet?

SGA seems like he may have lost some confidence. Not playing decisive lately.

Dort is impressive. Time to sign this kid to the main roster and move Ferg to the bench if he ever comes back.

Starting small forward leading the team in points? Gonna party like it's 2019.
“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.

I just don't understand what's going on with SGA. Looks like a different player altogether from a few weeks ago. If it came out that he'd been playing through some sort of chronic injury or something it might make sense.

I think it’s all confidence with him. He’s kind of had streaks of games this seasons where he’s been really good for 4-5 games and then pretty mediocre for a similar stretch.

He’s a team worst +8 right now.

Pretty much right after I typed that he hit several decent tough lay ins in a row so maybe he'll get going again.

The beauty of mod powers is when I type something that goes wrong and I’m the only one in the game thread, I can go back and delete multiple posts. Happens several times a week.

Sometimes when I’m bored at work it’s fun to dream that Sam fleeces The Vladfather for Fox.

How much do you think he will command as an RFA? He's not someone I'd want to pay max money from what I've watched

Its easy to get hung up on Lu Dort being a 2 way guy, but I feel not enough is made of the fact that he's also a 1 and done rookie. This would be encouraging if he'd been a first round pick outside the top 6-8 picks. The fact that he's an undrafted 2 way makes it all the more interesting.

How is Dort's defense compared to Ferguson's? Haven't got a chance to sit down and watch a lot of Thunder basketball this year. How's Hami's defense compared to those two?
