If it wasn’t so predictable and troll worthy at this point, it would still shock me that some Thunder “fans” seem to upset after beating the Rockets

If Dre actually comes back close to what he was...

Steven and Melo for player of the game. Didn't even watch most of it, but they get my vote. No matter what happens now I'm happy for a few days.

Since the conclusion of the game, who on here is expressing any level of being "upset"?
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

As much as I love a lot of what Diallo's doing I have to say, Andre Roberson thinks that dude needs to work on his jumper.

You definitely should have watched this one. Melo was a human rights violation on the basketball floor. It was joyous.

I'm waiting for the lowlights, heard his "make" was a goaltend.

Glad all he needed was a "real point guard".

This was the best game Melo has played for OKC in his career

We need to play like tonight to get a W at dallas without Russ. They are still way better than the cavs.

Glad to see PG13 having a nice game (still missing too many shots obviously)

It's pretty clear that this team with an healthy Roberson is the best OKC team since cupcake left. Both starters and bench are better than last 2 years.

Hamidou shucking CP3 was the best moment in the game

This gives me hope he can eventually become a better shooter. The guy has some ball skills. He's not a total spaz or anything. He just appears to have never had to actually shoot in his life before last year at D1 and it's a continual work in progress.

I think he will be shooting better by the end of next year.

If he can just hit corner 3s, he will be fine. He’s been awesome as a rookie taking the ball to the basket.

To be fair, this board has been super reactionary and super critical after almost every game. I’m shocked the “fire Billy” ideology has died down. It finally feels somewhat peaceful on the board.

Super encouraged by the peripheral players stepping up their games so far this season. Grant, Patterson, Abrines... Diallo was a great get, Schroder (salary aside) is a nice piece, Noel was a swindle. We even got a nice T-Ferg game. Curious how Roberson is going to fit in going forward, but doesn't seem like it could hurt. I like it all.

Everyone keeps talking about Roberson coming back like he’s going to be good. Have you guys done any research whatsoever on what happens to careers after a ruptured patellar tendon occurs?

Bad coaches can win too. Ty Lue has a ring.
