well, guess we won

what PG13 was talking about?

what PG13 was talking about?

The refs. I'd like the team to hold itself accountable for not playing well enough though. The refs didn't make them be slow on multiple rotations.

[Pillendreher]

We gave up 56 points in the 27 minutes Adams played, which means we gave up 70 in the 21 minutes he sat. Assuming the pace was 100, that's a 100 DRtG with Adams ON and a 159 DRtG with Adams OFF...

Was asking about the money thing and he told the reporter to google it.

[Dadouv47]

I liked Marc Jackson/JVP to trash talk on us. Was tired about the all ''biggest threat to Gs in the West'' thing while playing terrible (I liked it when we were doing great though :p)

i'm guessing he was fined before

thought we had the tie breaker against the clippers but they said it's still not sure. What criteria is it?

[RunOKC]

Has anyone noticed how bad Morris is on defense? Am I the only one going crazy watching him foul almost every time and get beat down low?

Yup he commits way too many dumb fouls. Was wondering why no one was mentioning this.

If I got this right we need to beat the Rockets in order to get the tiebreaker against the Clippers (if they 1-1 in their last two games). We are screwed

People are too busy complaining about his terrible offense, his shooting efficiency as a thunder has been atrocious.

3 team Tiebreaker - Based on overall record vs each other, we're 8th in all scenarios if this happens.

1 team tie breakers:
1. H2H
2. Conference Record (OKC 27-24, HOU remaining - LAC 27-23, GSW/UTA remaining)
3. Record vs playoff teams (OKC wins this tiebreaker with the Clippers according to what I read)

https://newsok.com/article/5628019/thunders-chance-at-no.-6-seed-improves

tl;dr can't lose to the Rockets or we're most likely 8th. Beat the Rockets and LAC dropping 1 will tie the conference record and move to the 3rd tiebreaker which favors OKC.

Then there's the extremely slim chance Utah loses 3 games in a row and we move into 5th I believe granted we win out..

[RalphSampsonJr]

Adams +31 in 27 minutes, which means we're - 25 in the 21 minutes he's been on the bench.

Yea i missed the game. Didnt realise it was on so early. Checked the boxscore and was like +31?! In a 6 point win? With the next best is PG at +11?!

Sounds like another Wiggins turns into MJ game. Id love to see his normal figures compared to when he plays the thunder. Il be watching the reply soon. At least they won

Thanks. So must win game against a red hot Rockets team. Maybe they will rest some players if Denver beats Portland (which is unlikely without Jokic/Millsap and Harris)

Coming into this game Wiggins was averaging 29 PPG, 7 RPG, and 4 APG on 61% TS against the Thunder.

He had 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists on 9/15 FG, 3/5 3P, and 3/5 FT today.

So, without going back and doing the math including today's games, I'd estimate that he finished this year averaging 27ish PPG, 6.5 RPG, and 4 APG on 60% TS against the Thunder this year which is WELL above his season averages.

I know I keep repeating myself, but he lives up to his pre-draft hype against us pretty much every time we play the Wolves but he's a below-average "volume" scorer against pretty much every one else.

Yeah Morris has been dreadful on the defensive end a lot of the time. He can also be a black hole on offense which can also be problematic. He had a decent game today though for what its worth I suppose. At least he hit some open 3s and didn't airball them.

Picking up this win gives a good chance of avoiding the 8th seed. Its almost assured to be avoided as long as at least one of the next two games are wins.

I wish someone could explain what happens to Andrew Wiggins when he plays against this team. Its one of the great phenomenons in basketball. Dude gets superpowers.

The only game that really matters is against Houston. If we win, we have the tiebreaker against the Clippers and avoid the 8th spot. If we don't we are screwed and will play Golden State (unless the Clippers lose at home against a Jazz team that will be locked for the 5th spot and will probably rest their players).

Amen to that. Doesn't seem like there is anyway to play Denver so it will be either GS or Houston. Much rather it be Houston

If we win against Houston and lose against the Bucks (and Spurs beats Dallas) we play Denver. Not the most likely to happen but far from impossible.
