Is Oladipo still out? Are we sure he doesn't have something more serious than back spasms?

He could not carry the weight of SG spot and dislocated a disc.

Games way too late, hate west coast games.

Interesting article on Abrines' recent play and Oladipo coming back from his back spasms.

http://www.hashtagbasketball.com/oklahoma-city-thunder/content/alex-abrines-great-play-oklahoma-city-thunder

I will maintain that Oladipo should start, get subbed out early for Abrines and run point for the handful of minutes that Westbrook is on the bench, and slide to the 2, when Westbrook checks back in. I think that's optimal.

Horrendous start.
