Schröder is actually playing defense!

I've seen more backdoor cuts in these two quarters than last season combined

I'm all for this, but only if one of them is actually PG.

No "highlights" from this Blue White Scrimmage today?

You didn't expect 10-15 minutes a night of Felton, Russ and Schroder together when they are healthy? You knew Donovan was that stupid. Stop being in denial about this 82 game train wreck that is approaching.

By the way, the local Thunder coverage has really gone into the toilet this summer with Fred leaving the Transcript and now even Dawson going to a paywalled site (which, I'm sorry but, no, not for me).

I think someone on reddit posted them, but the whole replay is still here:

I paid 30 bucks for a year subscription to the athletic. So far it hasn't really been worth it, but I'm hoping for some real insights once the season gets going.

We were up 18-8 at one point. Schroder and Adams had some stuff going. Pistons outscored us 18-10 the rest of the quarter, though.

This new POE of off-ball contact is going to be infuriating at times this year. There was a stretch towards the end of the 1st quarter where the the refs blew their whistle three or four times in about one minute of game time for pretty ticky-tack stuff off the ball.

POE?

Yeah Schroder and Adams already have a great connection. Good sign. Anyone see Jerami’s almost poster on Zaza? Jesus.

Felton looks like he doesn’t belong in this league anymore.

EDIT: Felton out here looking crafty but out of shape. Let’s see if he will make me eat my words.

Jesus. If Grant just had a little more touch. He would be virtually unstoppable in transition.

POE = point of emphasis.

we have such a bad collection of wings. all of them just look bad. andre roberson needs to be healthy for this team to do anything, i may have been giving too much credit for noel and patterson because wow we're going to get squat from our non-roberson / non-george wing brigade.

Just box score watching, was gonna til I saw PG was out and figured nothing worthwhile would be there. Encouraged by Schroeder though, same for Adams. And Drummond 3s are a thing.
