So... no one started the thread but a Pistons fan i.e. Ducler already posted graphics. Wiz haven't won at OKC... EVER. The last W against this franchise on the road was in 2008 during Durant's rookie year when they were the Seattle Supersonics.

This a tough matchup for us, which means the wiz will probably win.

Traditionally, a losing game thread starter lets someone else start the next thread, but no one else stepped up. Better that than no thread at all. I would have made one but my presence here has been so inconsistent of late that I couldn't be sure to cover if they won. (Is that a jinx or a reverse jinx?)

For no particular reason, I'm calling victory!

We hit rock bottom recently and Wall was being scolded. Now 2 guys are all stars, Wall wrote a beautiful piece on his dad, and his teammates stuck up for him. This could be a turning point. All that combined with the game being on TNT and OKC with its win streak, I think that we will at the very least give max effort.

Im more interested than Wall. John had his best season last year. 2 guys who killed him his whole career were IT and Russell. He never played well against them. Those were the only 2 in the league he has never played well against, especially Russell. He literally sucked against him every time. Then last season came. IT put us out but Wall had some huge games against him throughout the season. Then he also finally went back at Russell for the 1st team and outplayed him.

That is when I knew that Wall had fully arrived and had extercised all individual deamons. There was not a single PG who he hadn't had a good game against anymore so let's just focus on team success. Now fast fwd to today and we need both individual and team success. I hope Wall and the Wiz show up and play together. Russell is back to playing fast, hard, and downhill. Wall has been walking all year. Time for him to get downhill and match him

Markieff and Gortat just look far too slow. It's time to move on.

Can make a shot, wall passed up a layup and Adams is dominating our bigs. Awesome start.

Uh this is looking good for us...NOT AT ALL...but it ain’t over folks. Have faith and hold on.

I hate it when Wall looks like he has a wide open layup and kicks it out

I still feel OK because we are engaged. Just need one shot to drop. Then we can put something together

An equivalent player as Morris (his damn twin) is a bench player for our main rival and Gortat is complementing openly retirement with another team....WAY PAST TIME TO MOVE ON.

NOW

CobraCommander · Post #14 » by **CobraCommander** » Fri Jan 26, 2018 1:15 am

Wall Knows he is shooting 25% from 3 ....so he gotta take that 4th shot after he misses 3! Its guaranteed to go in!

Gortat and Morris really do look old and slow.

Why has John taken four 3s already?

Might be time to start Ian and just see what happens

All the Thunder's damage came inside, not coming up with those two loose balls obviously hurt, but the defense hasn't been quite as bad as the opening score indicates.

YOUR WINNER
