Random,but watching "Inside College Football" on CBS Sports Network and Rick Neuheisel said he recruited Russ to play football at UCLA too, but the bball coaches wouldn't have it.

Finally new season!

Can we enter in top10 defense teams? And can we maintain place in top10 offense?
A lot of things will depend on Oladipo. I mean Russ and Adams will do their things and more, but Oladipo needs to find his form, in defense and offense. I hope Billy will put him in comfort situations on the floor.

# ThunderUp

I'm looking for a huge game from Oladipo and Adams tonight. I hope they come out and show out. I hope Westbrook gets a triple double and shows some improvement in shot selection and the long ball.

Not sure if I'll watch the game or not. The Cubs are in the WS and I've been waiting my whole life for that!!!! I'm recording the Thunder game and might watch it tomorrow. I'm actually going to be encouraged to watch the Thunder this season since my girl went to IU and is a fan of 'Dipo.

I'm not optimistic about this season. I think the Thunder are in the worst place you can be. A fringe playoff team and first round exit. Good enough to stay out of the lottery, but not good enough to be a contender. Since this a transition season for things beyond Presti's control I'm not upset about that. I'm just not happy about it either. I think this team will make some selling type trades during the season to open up cap room and add future draft picks since Presti can get away with it this year and fans won't freak out since they know OKC isn't going to win a championship this season. However, if the team implodes I could see Presti selling hard, including moving Westbrook to Boston/Philly, and that will cause some fans to lose it.

I don't have any clue what to expect. let's just start the season out ahead of the warriors.

I'm just praying Russ plays like he's been playing preseason. More ball movement, smarter decision making.

Gerald Henderson about to go off for 40.

We've already missed four or five shots right around the basket. The result...we have two points in three minutes.

4:13 into the game and we have a whopping two points. And it's not like we're taking a lot of jumpers. The vast majority of our shots have come in the paint.
