God damn that's an early start. Gotta tell my boss that I'll have to leave work early. Or get them to let me use the big ass screen in the conference room downstairs. 8-)

Given our recent performances against really bad teams, I have less than zero hope for a win today.

I expect tank commander Russ to have a triple double while shooting 6-30 from the field and 1-12 from 3.

I don’t know what’s more shocking- how bad Russ is now or how good george continues to play.

PG is more shocking to me. I expected Russ to decline this year, although not this bad. I did not see PG elevating his game to this level. If OKC is going to win a playoff series it will be because of the growth from PG and Ferguson.

Nice athletic dunk from our 2rp, Mitchell Robinson.

The Knicks have us right where they want us:

Down 18 after the 1st quarter. Now it's time for our league-worst bench to come in and let the Knicks bench start the 2nd quarter on something like a 22-6 run.

Schroder killing it on offense and playing very good defense too.

He’s hit 2 out of 3 shots. What kind of sample size is that?

I like the adjusted rotations. Although I still think that playing guys 10 minutes straight might be a little bit much.
