Looks like it’s just a calf strain so probably not long term serious. How’s is a guy I would love to have on our team if he wasn’t made of glass.

Adams vs Gobert is always fun to watch.

Honestly, I think Adams looks so poised and and in command of his abilities that I think he will still look good if not great against top tier opposition in Gobert.

I am honestly more interested in how the Thunder is going to deal with Favors. Donovan probably will play Grant on him a lot, along Melo and 2Pat, but he should try Huestis because 240 vs 210 lbs.

It was reported that Patterson will get more minutes tonight. He could have gotten more on Thursday but the game was out of hand so Donovan opted to rest him.

At least it isn't major career altering. So that's a small blessing.

Excited to see more of patterson, don't see how Utah can keep up with okc tonight, especially with hood out. Hopefully abrines continues to get extended run, as Utah has limited weapons on the wing.

B2B game for them so we have some advantage against Utah.

I dont know if Melo can hold D.Favors at low post. I dont have much confidence in J.Grant either.
Patterson-Collison could see more PF minutes than usual today.

Rubio had good game yesterday but it wont be easy for him to defend WB.
PG-Melo would have rather easy matchups on offense too.

I think this could be a very tough game and wouldn’t be shocked if we lose. A lot of newly formed teams struggle for a few months and I think we should expect this.

Ingles is a lot better than he's given credit for.

Can we not leave Ingles wide open? I swear we do it every time we play them. He's one of the most accurate shooters in the league, probably shouldn't have PG or Roberson ignoring him...

Feels like everything we set up is a three or post up. Not a lot of catching the ball moving towards the basket.

Love seeing him go at Gobert, especially with the early foul.
