I think he is fine. He doesn't look impaired moving or slower as a player. He probably is just saving his knees. He was probably advised on things that will keep him healthy over a long season. My dad worked in sports medicine and is always telling me how stressful dunking is on your knees if you are a guard-sized player. He really doesn't need to be trying to throw down hammer dunks in the first games of a season at this point in this career.

I'm sure Derrick rose could dunk more than he does as well.

Totally agree. The more he's saving himself, the better it is.

Still hope he will dunk on cupcake's face on November 22nd

Why is felton playing on garbage time? He deserves to be a starter. Okay, if the goal is for him to lose some weight I get it.

Me too. I thought he would make a great improvement after his rookie year. He also looked stronger physically during preseason.

That was a nasty fall by Huestis. I’m glad he didn’t get hurt.

Whenever the Thunder annoy this year and you think your team is bad, think of the Chicago Bulls. That will improve your mood.

Nice to get the bench some minutes although we know Billy won’t forget about them.

It's really sad to see the bulls in this situation, but I have no doubts you guys will have the chance to rebuild quickly. Hope your FO will be smart enough.

What a nice way of saying “you’ll suck for the foreseeable future”. :lol:

Doesn't look like it. But he did get a knee injection.


Could his knee bother him for FT as well? or it's all in ''his head''?

If he's not in game shape yet the free throw line is an obvious place it usually manifests itself.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.
