Love watching the salt in the Knicks faces while they shake hands with Hartenstein :lol:

OKC is now 18-1 when Hartenstein plays. Fantastic signing.

Wiggins was unreal and the defense of OKC was the difference. Forced turnovers down the stretch and capitalized on those turnovers.

Great game.

Literally the most no brainer signing of the offseason. And to think the Knicks signed him with the MLE.

Cade is finally coming into his own. Dominate tonight, Detroit needs to help him out by pairing better players with him.

Good for OKC to finally hit on a 2nd rounder. Wiggins was a great pick. Providing some value despite being a late 2nd rounder.

This OKC BOS game is amazing in its intensity for a regular season game. Nice to watch some good hoops.

OKC get away with playing super physical on the defensive end but still a pretty impressive win

Impressive win by OKC over a full strength Celtics. JDub needs to step up in important games, he's been pretty mediocre for about a month now.

That was probably a preview of the Finals. OKC look primed for a deep run, if not the title. League's best D, best road record, top 5 player.

Not sure any team could be compensated with enough draft capital and young players to take Beal. 55M next season, 57M the season after.

For those who were sad about the futility records we were setting for a few games. Cheer-up, the Celtics just set one for the season.
