We better go back to our old starting lineup for this one.

14 point loss. Westbrook will show no mercy against weak willed Deron.

I'm at a loss as to what this roster can do right now. We need new coaching, a new system, and an all in mentality from this group.

To me, only Wallace and Evans bring 100% effort every night. Brook tries. The two highest paid guys coast and shrink when the pressure heats up.

Avery is gone now. So it's time for the league's most overpaid backcourt to actually earn their keep. If they do, that will at least keep us afloat.

I just found out I'm going to the game. I'm stoked. This will be my 3rd Thunder game this season. 2nd game to see the Nets, ever!

No matter the outcome- I will be happy. Hopefully Brooklyn can play respectfully and not as putrid as their performance against the Spurs.

Here is a sign that we can be very good in this conference if we really put the effort and once Deron gets his sh*t together:

A win tonight (unlikely) and winning out against the upcoming games against Washington, Sacramento and Phoenix would put us at 21 wins tied with the Knicks and Hawks atop the 2nd and 3rd seed.

:lol:

Last time we played OKC it was close but we were raining 3s that game. I'm really worried about how we can score on them. Outside of 3s going in at a ridiculous rate, their length and athleticism gave us a ton of trouble. Really want to see how Deron responds to it when we put him in pick and rolls. Last time they did everything possible to take the ball out of his hands and very aggressively trapped him.

Nice PnR...good start.

Great start.

I just don't want to see a big lead, because we all know how that goes. Keep it close and grind it out.

The defense has to be better. Come on.
