Also OT but search Grayson Allen on twitter. What a meltdown.
That kid must have some hormonal imbalance. What a tantrum.

I feel the same about Davis. I thought both were quiet in the first half.

Should have really went at Davis there. Missed opportunity.

Bench was great tonight. Hope this is Abrines starting to be a thing. Kanter did the Kanter things that he does. Semaj was solid which is all you can really ask for from a rookie 3rd stringer that's been forced to play due to injuries. Grant made a 3 & drew a big foul on Davis. Joffrey was pretty solid too for a guy I feel like hasn't played a lot recently.

Bench played great tonight! Going to need that going forward. Jerami grant is silently becoming a reliable guy on a night to night basis. Great to see Abrines play well tonight. Was always intrigued by him and hoped he would make the jump to the Thunder from Europe. Hope he can keep the shooting consistency. He can be a big help for the team.

Good win. Abrines stepping up was huge. Joffrey and Kanter were great on offense. This is one of the rare games you won thanks to your bench, Westbrook had a negative plus-minus. I thought he shot a bit too much at times, but he scored 42 on very good efficiency and again iced the game late, so no reason to complain. Jrue usually defends him very well, but so to score so much on very good efficiency against him was quite impressive.

Re: 12/21 | G29: Oklahoma City Thunder at New Orleans Pelicans | 7PM CST
I'm sorry, but this was still way too close for my liking. Russ is really killing our offense flow these last two games. Can't have him isolating all the time.

11 points win against the healthy Pelicans away is not bad at all.

For me it's more about the way we play. We were up 46-37 and had like 3 or 4 consecutive chances to score off of NOP turnovers. We didn't and let the Pelicans back in it. That's just so damn frustrating.
Also we still can't string together good stops. We had maybe a handful of them last night. That's not enough. Our play has to start on the defensive end.

Dude, we're a middle of the pack playoff team, if you expect us to consistently destroy teams you're going to be disappointed all year. Any win without vic is a solid one.

I expect us to be solid defensively every possession tho. That has to be our calling card. If it isn't, we're in **** trouble.

They don't really have the personnel for it. I'm amazed they've been this good so far.
