I think 2 keys things are obvious here... They are only really 8 deep and they're weak in the guard area.

Playing aggressive is key if we can get people into foul trouble early.

Also having Dwill and Jjack driving hard at them because of the clear mismatch.

I think we can win this with or without Brook, but I'd be happy to see him back.

This can also be a good game for Bojan to get more aggressive and have more off an impact

Paradise, I like the captions for each player, well done!

Anyway, I've been awake since 3:45 hearing my son cry, then proceed to have him play with my ear in bed until he fell asleep at 5:15, the time I got up for work. In all, I'm really looking forward to this game tonight. Something to brighten my day. This is the reason I love sports.

I keep refreshing my twitter feed expecting news that Brook Lopez won't play. Will be excited to hopefully see Big Disney out there

Nice game thread. Looking at Pierce's reactions in those gifs kinda makes me wish we still had him. Even though I understand that he wasn't a good roster fit here.

Top notch game thread. Salute!

2 things I look for in this game:

1. Execution and activity should be on the same level as the Detroit game. We were pretty consistent in staying with the game plan. That's all I want to see. This is a very limited team. If we do what we're supposed to do, we make life difficult for them.

2. Brook. Offensively, I want to see him pass more. Don't want to see him shooting through double teams + taking contested shots. Defensively, OKC might have the worst PNR personnel in the league right now. Good game to get his feet wet. 2 centers that can't shoot. Lopez should be in the paint plenty defensively.

I think we'll see a heavy dose of Mirza tonight. Ibaka is going to be roaming in order to stop Johnson from manhandling their players on the block. He'll need to be ready and prepared to light the score board up.

Is Lopez/KG starting?

Nice game thread. My mom passed away this morning, so I'll probably miss this game and this week's schedule. Hopefully, we can continue the domination we started last season at Barclays. We have a tremendous chance to finish this week 5-1.

Yes. Reggie Jackson will play also.

Today is a good day to break in our Lopez/KG frontcourt.

This should be a cakewalk. Even if Lopez is rusty we should still be able to beat the Thunder just by throwing depth at them.

I want to see JJ continue to lead the offense instead of going through Brook. Johnson is the best player and everyone should adapt to him, not the other way around.
