Game 44: Oklahoma City Thunder (24-19) @ Houston Rockets (26-15) - 5:00 PM ET

CP3 is playing so great. Its a shame we are so shorthanded. I like Dort but he needs to chill on the threes. I said he reminds me of Marcus Smart and I think he wants to shoot 22 threes too.

SGA really taking a step back those last games.

Schroeder's passing ability has really improved (not that difficult though, he never passed the ball before this season)

I don’t think it’s a step back in that he’s regressing. He’s just had a couple of mediocre games. He’s desperately needs to get stronger and also needs to be more consistent on his threes. He’s got a double double today.

Dorts defense is legit. Time to get excited.

Oh yeah in no way I wanted to say that he's regressing. I meant that he isn't attacking like he did during his best stretch of the year. I'm not worried at all about SGA. He needs to get stronger indeed, work on his defense and 3pt% but there's not an aspect of the game that I think ''it may be difficult for SGA to improve on that''. Love the kid and I'm so excited about his future.

The Thunder are good at basketball

Give me Dort at 25+ minutes the rest of the season... he has some clamps, and he isn't a complete pussy on offense like TFerg

The more I watch shai, the more I think it’s in his best interest to keep a good team round him this year. Dumping cp3, schroder, Gallo and Adams would likely hurt his development.

100% agree. Not so sure about Schroeder but definitely it's fundamental to his development that he's playing with CP3 (by far the point guard with the highest BBIQ of his generation), a good big and a wing that can shoot in Gallo.

Problem with CP3 is that he's having fun right now but once he will get tired about not contending, it can become a problem. We will have to trade him sooner or later (if it was up to me I wouldn't mind keeping until 2022)

Doesn't get much sweeter than that. The comeback, the opponent.....unbelievable. Schroeder has 6th Man of the Year in the bag.

Come on. That was just absurd. To win that game with zero NBA caliber actual centers available? Are you kidding me?

He was always one of my most disliked opponents but it's hard not to appreciate just how good CP still is.

So good. So cerebral. He probably can't jump over the New York City phone book but he's still special in a league of athletic freaks.
