First game in decades, bad things will most likely happen.

Should be fun.

Nothing gonna be fun about watching us get blown to smithereens. Lol

Should be sad. Hope MoWill have a good game. I need and expect him to overtake Roberts before Kemba return.

Times like this I wish I could have faith in the almighty Zeller with so much potential I keep hearing about to help MKG keep us in the game with Kemba out.

This is probably OKC's first game with the new guys. Maybe they have problems gelling and we steal a game here? Unlikely, but it's possible.

Thats what I'm telling myself.

So, who all is going to be back? Biyombo? MKG?

MKG will be back, Biyombo is still out. No eta on when he'll be back either.

With their new Bench,OKC must be a +25 favorite in Vegas?

Interesting. I thought for sure Roberts would get at least a couple games before he lost the job.

Williams has probably been undressing Roberts during the scrimmages the past couple days.

Now that is shocking to me. I obviously have been strongly stating that there was no way that MoWill started right away.

Will eat crow if that happens, didn't think there was a chance.

Virtually no other variable matters other than the fact that Westbrook is going to absolutely dismantle our entire team like he always does. It wouldn't matter if we were completely healthy. Westbrook is the one pg that just destroys Kemba. Kemba has had impressive games against just about everyone and really held his own with the other top pg's.

Pretty much no one can check Westbrook right now. Honestly we need to give him the perimeter and pull ups and hope he goes trigger happy on an off night and shoots them out of the game.

Ibaka had 22 boards and 7 offensive boards against Dallas last night while also going 8 - 12 from the field. Gonna be a big test for Cody.

If MKG plays we have a shot. Not a great shot, but it's something. OKC has to travel halfway across the country, they're integrating a bunch of new guys, maybe feeling themselves a little too much now that they know PHX is going to enter a death spiral, a few factors that could tighten things up. I think we can win the bench scoring battle as well, not scared of Waiters, Kanter and the rest of the Piston castoffs. Hopefully DJ goes back to being a crappy bench player, as is his usual pattern. The key is to come out strong and not fall behind early.

The only way we win this game is if we catch them sleeping early, build a lead, and Westbrook has a bad game. We don't have the horses to match their talent.
