Ugh, I'm ready to take calls on PG.

Also an aside but thanks for doing these Thabo, they're consistently awesome.

Tyus Jones or Jeff teague (whichever one is starting) is going to go off.

The only prayer this team has to win this game is:
1. If Paul George can contain Butler.
2. Wiggins shoots like trash
3. Steven can contain KAT
4. Jamal Crawford doesn't have a crazy shooting game.
5. Random wolves player off the bench doesn't bombs 3s. Like Bjelica or Dieng

If ALL 5 of these conditions are met, a win is assured. :uhoh:

OKC needs to bring it this game. No excuses.

This strikes me as the kind of game where we come out focused but fail to maintain it for four quarters.

We have a habit this season of looking really bad and then getting one win and everyone's happy and everything gets swept under the rug. I have a feeling this might be the result today.

Hope our offense clicks like it did against LAL and LAC. Wolves still suck defensively even if they've improved. Wanna see everyone attack the basket tonight.

Nah MIN is playing really well. Gonna get housed and I can probably go to bed early tonight. Would love a win, but no Robes no defense. And gonna take a wild guess we see plenty of PG/Bench.

Send him to MIN if they do. I’ve been waiting for the PG / Butler combo for a long time.

Not sure what they’d send back other than the OKC pick and Jones. Wiggins? :dontknow:

I'd rather the money savings than Wiggins. That's just a bad contract.

The peaks and valleys are very far apart for this team

It was a poor showing against POR, but sometimes that happens against playoff teams. That’s what’s more annoying about the losses to the bottom feeders. Win the overwhelming majority of this games and you can stomach a no show versus an ok team.

Yeah that’s why I was like :dontknow:

Maybe send him to a 3rd team that might want him for more assets / prospects? There are a few teams that could potentially be interested in him.
