Z'Bo vs Melo! Let's go!

Would love to see Billy use same rotations he did last night vs. Charlotte. Westbrook with Abrines and Patterson out on the wings looked really good. Felton and Westbrook had a lot of space to operate.

Wouldn't be surprised if we started Abrines instead of Ferguson to try and get his value up.

It's about time we start Grant at SG.

I think his value might be higher if he doesn’t play. His defense is that bad.

So our current crop of shooting guards is the most pitiful thing in the history of ever but we still refuse to play a Russ/PG/Melo/Pat^2/Adams lineup
“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.

Their entire starting lineup didn't score in the 1st last time, and they still won. This is probably another L.

Any minor attempts at ball movement from the early season are gone. We would come out and at least attempt to move the ball in the first half. Those days are over.

Russ looks like he’s trying to mount fox since he’s always behind him when trying to defend.

Well, we’re on pace for 32 turnovers this game.

Michael Cage, “the thunder seem out of sync right now.” Welcome to 2017-18 the nba season, moron.

Immense discrepancy in age and talent. But we're struggling. After already having lost to them once this season. So if there's a huge discrepancy between the players, yet we're struggling, I wonder what other area the other team might have a huge advantage in that might account for our woes...

The only defence Billy apologists had was "give it time". Time has been given. What is it next? Are we going to see a return of the "he's just experimenting, regular season doesn't matter, just getting ready for the playoffs"

Return to Oklahoma City Thunder
