Hali with an Achilles tear.
Tatum with an Achilles tear.
Dame with an Achilles tear.


The East is gonna be so bad that Charlotte could get a playoff bid.

Bob Myers saying "I hate seeing star players get hurt" reminds me that he wanted to coverup one of his star players beating up a role player. Bob Myers "I hate seeing star players get hurt but role players, screw em."

Funny, I don't want the refs to tighten up too much in the 2nd half. But man there were a lot of clutching and grabbing in that 1st half.

Chets just out there for the cardio. The Pacers aren't even phased when he comes over to help.

The longer this game is close the tighter and tighter the Thunder will be. The arena will be the same way. Due to 3 point variance the Pacers can easily win this in a 24 minute game.

I just want them to call it the same both ways. Is that too much to ask?

Good thing the Pacers just traded for their pick back.

Why are people saying OKC is getting ref help (other than the dort flop). Feels like it's been pretty even. Both teams even have 13 ft's.

JDub is, at least this season

Is it fair to say Chet isn't a big enough part of the offense because he has missed so much time? I am still trying to put my finger on his usage. I swear they don't run plays for the guy but I had to look it up at one point and he had only played 134 games and missed 114.

So I just assumed he was being used in catch and shoot situations because they never had the chance to make him a significant pillar of the offense.

Carlisle has straight taken him out the game. Williams looks shell shocked when being jumped on switches and is just giving up the basketball. Probably too late for OKC to adjust to it.
