Russ made so many mistakes during this game but when he understood PG13 was on fire, he played smart and let his teammate make the work.

for the most part. there was one dumb three he took in there.

Disagree, the 3 he took in the fourth was wide open, those are the kind of 3s he can make and should be shooting.

What a goddamn performance from Paul George.

His first career game winner, mind you.

So Billy went small in the crunch time in the 4th. Took Adams out and it worked beautifully. I wouldn’t recommend it a lot, but I’ll give him credit for it tonight

You are getting desperate, it's a bad look. Way to jump on a bad quarter and ignore 20 plus games. How'd that Westbrook Schroeder lineup defend in the 4th. They all looked like they were hungover, and still were good enough to win because one of their stars went off. It created a **** of momentum, if you still don't believe in that either (comical you wouldnt in relation to basketball). Try again next time, champ!

In 20 games they're the 17th ranked offense in the NBA. That's not good.

Not even mad, but don't you ever get tired of/embarrassed by flipping out every time they have a bad stretch in a game? They've been one of the best teams in the league, and maybe the most watchable thunder team since the first year they had Kmart. Chill out, they're good.

Paul MF'n George.

I'll admit, I stopped watching midway through the 3rd quarter. I really wish I had stuck it out, but I got about 3-4 hours of sleep last night, had a long day at work, and my patience was already worn razor thin. I didn't need to keep watching something that would've inevitably led me shouting out obscenities with a 2-year old sleeping in one room and 7-month old sleeping in another.

I don't know who voted Noel in the poll but it should be unanimous.

No doubt!!But how did our bench not including Schroder only get 12 shot attempts?

How did Noel even get a nomination? Ferguson actually looked not horrible shooting.

Also I admit I was just flipping to check the box score in the fourth until the last minute, but can't wait for recaps. Was leaving work and getting home and whatnot.

Keep hating guys. You could also say Westbrook (their best player on offense) has missed about 1/3 of their games, and been out of game shape on probably 3 or 4 games he has played, and about the same thing for their backup backcourt rotation, yet they are still 17th despite that. But stay overly critical of a team you like that is doing extremely well, if that's your thing.....

i would have preferred grant out and ferg in, but i guess it's fine either way. off the corner miss on that first possession there was a big bounce, and this game would have looked a lot worse (and that decision a lot worse) had the nets corralled the orb with adams out of the game.

Over the last 15 games, our offense is ranked 9th in the league. Over that same span, we have the best NetRtg in the league @ 11.8. 2nd place is the Raptors @ 7.3...

Please keep in mind we’ve had players out and Westbrook (1 our 2 most important offensive players) is just getting his legs back under him.

I'm not being critical. You keep saying the offense is good, and it hasn't been.

Did you all see the "mosh pit" with the team after the game too? Looked like a bunch of college kids that had just advanced in the NCAA tournament. These guys enjoy playing together and it really shows in the on court product. Most fun this team has been in several years. Almost feels like 2011 all over again just with older dudes instead of young dudes.

I think this is what I missed most last year. Even wins felt painful.
