Fifteen point game.

Phoenix is making everything they throw up this quarter.

Schroder is being a punk. He threw an elbow last game and gets a T for yelling at the refs because he can’t stand up. Grow up and facilitate.

13 point game. -11 this quarter...against the worst team in the league.

Gonna find a way to turn a 24 point halftime lead against the worst team in the league into a game we have sweat out in the 4th quarter.

George just can’t have a good night.He has to ruin is own success by garbage shots.

Good to see Adams didn’t put up a shot that entire quarter. Oh and surprise we are now getting run down. This team honestly...

Typical thunder b-ball. Get Adams involved early and forget about him. Gotta make sure George can get his isoball turnovers.

All you have to do is not lose that quarter by more than 5-7 points to make sure we don't have to overplay guys and sweat out a close home game against a terrible team.

Nope, we lose the quarter 35-22 and now it's an 11 point game. We scored a bucket at the 4:48 mark to make it 84-61. Got outscored 14-2 the rest of the quarter.

Sure would be nice if “Billy da goat” could reign in Felton and his disgusting basketball.

It’s no secret that our team has a lot to iron out. But we blew the lead back up to 20. We are doing fine this game. Everybody take a chill pill.

Any win without Russ is a good one.

Nice win. The story of this game shows a good blueprint for this team moving forward.

1-George is very good when he takes the right shots. He can’t create the way he thinks he can.

2-This team won’t maximize its potential if we treat Steven Adams like a secret weapon that only gets let’s out of his cage for two quarters a game. We have much more of a big three than we had last year with the “ok3”. Adams needs to involved start to finish. He’s better than he was last year.

Well, clearly I was right to panic. I mean, after all that, we're still up by 19 with under a minute to go.


Really, we had three REALLY good quarters and one REALLY bad quarter.

With what we saw last year, we have a right to be concerned

Damn, LeVert just went down with a really bad leg injury. Can’t find a good angle on the injury, but from the way everyone is talking about it, it sounds Hayward-esque.
