So, looking at the boxscore and everything, it looks like we almost Thundered away another game after a monster 1st quarter.

Also, looks like Russ went MVP-Mode Beastbrook and everyone else sucked except for Abrines. At least we won a game against a team with a winning record in a game where Carmelo and PG scored a combined 12 points on 5/19 shooting.

With Felton and Melo we should have the most gravity in the league.

Dre won't get the love he deserves, but guys activity on the offensive end in the first half was a clinic on exactly how he can be effective.

Ugly win, some great plays by westbrook. Please bench melo he looks like he is aging twice as fast as normal people do at this point. He can be our 6moy sniper.

This team has a talent for making what would be good wins feel like bad wins.

I feel good about this one. It was a division game without Adams and Russ looked like Russ which is at least exciting to watch.
