12/7 | G24: Oklahoma City Thunder at Chicago Bulls - 7PM CST

Damn I wanted that first seed.

More important : Did Westbrook gave his shoes to a white kid?

[ThunderBolt]

I keep saying I’m done with Abrines and then he does 7-11 from 3. So I get sucked back in. But honestly at this point I think the inconsistency is weighing to far to the “I’m done.”

He simply cannot stay on the court if he plays this poorly.

As bad as OKC played, if they had a consistent shooter or two off the bench, they win this game tonight.

Welcome

All aboard.

And a note, but they're still the last team to lose to a sub .500 team pretty sure.

And Denver just lost Millsap.

Would the bulls do Abrines for holiday? Saves money too.

every excuse in the universe is made for westbrook. it's unbelievable. he will never learn.

Lead the team in points, rebound, assist, and second only to Ferguson in plus/minus. Was he perfect, obviously not even close. Was he the best player on the team tonight? Yep. You've made it your quest to take every bad Westbrook play/game and turn it into some sort of statement while ignoring the failures of others. You're the exact opposite side of the coin you accuse bondom of being.

Does one play win/lose the game?

oh gee willikers i'm glad the $200m+ man was the best player in the game for the thunder. you know, what he's supposed to be. that's a really low bar.

westbrook gets a higher degree of scrutiny from me because i have the highest expectations for him due to his status on the team and salary. i'll gladly call out any other thunder player for having bad games when they have them. russ lost his man for a wide open three late in the game like he's done so many times before. that needs to be pointed out because at some point it is going to have to be corrected. paul george got beat. russ fell asleep.

the thunder landscape needs voices speaking out when there are fluff pieces coming out telling us russ has 'changed'.

They guy is a rhythm player but he gets hurt so frequently that its difficult for him to get into and stay in any sort of rhythm. Just extremely frustrating for everyone involved (him included I'd imagine). Missing 7-8 days with the flu/stomach virus or whatever was just the most recent cherry on top of the **** sandwich that always seems to happen to him.

I think Abrines is most definitely a rhythm shooter. He needs to get consistent reps to be effective, in my opinion. There’s a reason he’s not playing over Ferguson, though. Can you guess what it is?

Legit shocked to see that Grant went 5-9. All I remember was a 3 & a dunk when he was all alone in the paint, beyond that I saw the ball thrown to him & go through his hands a good 37 times.

Defense was terrible except for the 3rd quarter, bench outside of Dennis did nothing, whole team missed about 4 easy layups (that Russ one where he pump faked everybody in the air & then missed everything was a great visual representation of this game), PG never really got going at all. They looked like they were all hungover with how sloppy they played.

his shoes are still on the court where he jumped out of them futility attempting to recover and contest justin holiday's three.

Somebody should calculate standard deviation and CV for since three point shooters and see what average consistency would look like/who are the streakiest shooters. Not me, but somebody.

Bench has been torched the last two games. Which ties back to Abrines and Patterson sucking.

Would the bulls do Abrines for holiday? Saves money too.

Unless the Bulls just want to tank, I think they could get something far better than a cheaper expiring for an expiring.

There would have to be incentive.

good night, i love you all. even bondom.

Abrines is going to New York by deadline. You heard it here first.

Give them a 2rp. Bull front office gave us a 2rp, Taj Gibson and McDermott for cam Payne, Joffrey Lauvergne and Anthony Morrow. I fully expect to just scare them over.

[bondom34]

Ugh I wish I could put sw on ignore.

[Dn4sty]

That game was the culmination of a terrible first half of defense and super sloppy play all around. So many turnovers, poor defensive rotations, and effort.

I’m also not sure why Adams disappeared so much after his dominant start.

Also the bench outside of Schroder and Noel has been terrible.

Ignoring Adams after looking for him early is one of the most consistent things we do.
