If adams is out, Deandre is going to be an issue. Is there a worse backup center rotation than dakari and Collison (Not including grant because it's not fair to call him a center, even though he torched Atlanta in that role)? There can't possibly be, right?

MUST. WIN. This is like a two win or losses game.

“The Thunder have the NBA’s most difficult remaining schedule. By far. Oklahoma City’s leftover opponents combine for a .597 winning percentage, per Tankathon.com. San Antonio owns the second-toughest slate with a .574 remaining strength of schedule. For reference, a team with a .597 winning percentage would be sixth-best in the NBA. Oklahoma City’s next game, home against the L.A. Clippers, will begin a streak of 11 consecutive matchups against teams currently four-or-more games above .500. The team then closes the regular season against Memphis.”

-Katz

Sheesh. We have to win against the Clippers. HAVE TO!

Remaining schedule:

Silver lining is that we only have one more back-to-back and we end the season vs. MEM.

I think we can beat BOS, MIA, LAC (if Adams plays), SAS, and MEM. And we might still 1 or 2 games we aren’t projected to win. That’s good for 47-48 wins.

If those clipper uniforms said THUNDER across them they would be perfect for us.

Ferguson should not be getting minutes this late in the season

If George goes to the clippers, maybe they’ll do a sign and trade with Harris just for funsies.

FYI, Royce said today how much Billy loves Ferguson. His minutes aren’t going away anytime soon.

Russ and Melo are 1-11 and we are winning.

Brewer is excellent with his activity.

George is laughing at DAJ. He’s right though, that wasn’t much of a foul.
