he was leading semaj christon and scrubs. now he has a bunch of solid teammates. oladipo was a heady player on both ends for us.

i'm not saying coaching does not matter. lol. christ. why does this get so polarized? we have a roster full of these low bbiq, low awareness, athletes and we wonder why we have these problems. there isn't a coach out there who wouldn't have trouble getting this group as-is to be fundamentally sound consistently. because we select for these sort of players.

Same here...kinda. Both of our kids woke up within about 5 minutes of each other. After my wife and I spent about 30-45 minutes getting them both back to sleep, halftime was over and so was the 3rd quarter and I saw we were up by 15. Disappointed I missed the 3rd quarter. The team frustrated me to no end in the 1st half. It was a truly awful half of basketball. But man, I wish I had seen that 3rd quarter.

39-10. Wow.

Judging by +/-, Ferguson was the reason for tonight’s win.

I've been critical of TFerg since the start of the season, but he gave me pause today.

He was phenomenal tonight on the defensive end. He looked like Andre out there.

He had some seriously good defensive moments in the 4th.

We shot 56% from three. But still didn't make ten.

I tell you what I think that may have been Ferguson's best game as a pro. I think I'm finally starting to see what the organization sees in him. He really does seem like the type that can become an elite Wing Defender.

Also, **** Beverly

And this has to be the worst officiated game so far this season.

Slick refers to it as the “bob beyer effect”.

Beverley is a loser

This had to be one of the best games George has aged since coming to OKC

Ferguson defense was really solid. I just hope that he starts to get more involved on offense

Russ not taking 3s is nice.

Clippers got overwhelmed on the talent front in the 2nd half. Gallinari wasn't going to be on fire all night and you are relying on guys like Tobias Harris/ Beverly/ and Bradley to carry you which has a ceiling.

Clippers will do well this year, but they are the only team in the WC playoff race that doesn't have a star. That will catch up to them in the long run.

If Lebron keeps playing like he has, then I agree.

I wouldn't be shocked if they finish the season with a better record than us.
