Damn Covington out :(

Will Lillard make a new shoe with his stats from tonight's game?

I've been dying for Maike Daigneault to use Maledon with Hill or SGA more often. Looking forward to it. Don't know if it's right, but I can't find any minutes of Maledon/Hill or Maledon/SGA recorded yet.

Kanter or Melo on defense is already an issue so the two playing together...

We’re pretty good when we hit twelve threes in a half.

This game has been Melo's greatest game as a Thunder so far in his career.

Shai is in the zone. He’s so fun to watch.

I hope instead of lifting after tonight’s game, shai practices his free throws.

Good to get a win here and there to keep these guys emotionally engaged.

By the way I think I jinxed Dort.

I feel like his ceiling is a lot higher than I imagined it to be last year. Guy gets into the lane and to the rim with complete impunity.

I put some coin on our boys today on bovada. Feels good.

Bazley looking much more in control tonight. Didn't force anything and just passed to the open man. Wound up with 19 just by going through the natural flow of the offense.

Giving poku some credit, at least he's stayed engaged and willing to keep shooting. As bad as he's been a guy like Ferguson would be done attempting anything on the offensive end. If poku's skills come along it doesn't seem like this is going to hinder his future.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I’m encouraged how hard he plays. It likely means he will work hard this off season.

Definitely not opposed to using any cap room we have for Gary Trent Jr this offseason.

I've mostly enjoyed Roby but he's a really deficient rebounder, isn't he? Are my eyes deceiving me on that one. Feels like he never gets boards.
