I’m happy for slick. I hope he’s resting well.

Practically 10 o'clock and it still hasn't happened.

I may watch the 1st quarter or so, but I'm coming off a night of only getting 3-4 hours of sleep and an 11 hour workday.

Sucks that the season opener is on a weeknight at "9:30" local time...and since this is the second game of a doubleheader on TNT, as is usually the case, 9:30 really means a 10 o'clock tip time.

We're laboring so much on offense and it's mostly only resulting in forced shots or low-percentage shots.

I hate when Adams takes those 8-foot floaters. He never seems to make them.

Adams should have rested. He looks so clumsy.

Felton just airballed an open three.

That's a good summation of this quarter.

Alright, bed time. I'm not expecting much good to happen over the next 90 minutes or so.

Stupid 9:30 (really 10 o'clock) start time.

I guess PG stayed but his talent left in free agency?

Didn’t expect to win but hoped there would be some positives. This might be the worst I’ve seen George play. He’s got the worst +/- on the team right now which is pretty impressive considering how bad schroder has played. Ferguson is the most invisible player I’ve ever seen.

He's treating every game like a playoff game. Playoff pathetic is here all season.

Are we watching the same game? Schroeder and Adams has been the only positives I've seen thus far. Schroeder actually hustles and hasn't been jacking up contested garbage 3's. Durant has been schooling George on both ends.

If only they could make FTs. If you shoot under 65% from the FT line you don't deserve to win.

All in all, that was an encouraging game. Wish we had someone who could shoot to take those Grant minutes, but kind of trapped in that regard. PG, Schroder, Adams, Diallo, Noel all looked pretty good. Still optimistic PPatt finds a little more this year.

the first of many moral victories to come this year.

pat got a lot of open looks. bodes well for the future. unless they don't play him. what was grant doing in there in crunch time with ferguson? odd.

anyway, i hope that whatever obvious back discomfort the thunder coerced steven adams into playing through tonight was worth covering the spread and does not result in permanent damage.
