Lu Dort is possibly back & Pat Bev is questionable with groin soreness.

This is a must win, we can tie for 8th tonight

With Nowell emerging he could maybe replace Bev in the starting lineup. Also hopefully KAT and Dlo shake off the rust. Finally, I think the team feels badly about how close the last game was, I think they play harder tonight.

All of that said, I agree this is a must win. We have a brief window to make up the games we lost due to Covid. Getting to 21/20 for the first half is not only realistic, it is essential for our playoff hopes.

I could easily see a loss. We shouldn't lose but I could see us being cold and sloppy while OKC is fired up for some pay back. We need multiple guys to show up and play well.

I see Micah Nori back. Mcdaniels is garbage early on

Okogie just brings nothing

Waive Beasley man

Towns has no iq man. No control, so reckless and no coordination. Tries to do too much when you can just make a simple basketball play. Holy ****

The team needs to get a sports psychologist to work with Towns on being able to ignore perceived missed calls and to forget about them before the next play. The vast majority of KAT's problems are due to him getting frustrated and holding onto that until he commits an unfortunate foul. So much of what holds KAT back is in his own head.

That was my guy all day Calinks.

Turns out I like his personality almost as much as his game.

How do you know they haven't? Kat has made tons of progress controlling his temper. He's a work in progress.

He'll get there. He's a very intense passionate player. Self mastery can be a difficult thing to acquire.

Fun game so far. Hope they take care of business early in the fourth

Looking back a couple of games I believe that is 14 straight missed 3s by Beasley.

Beasley is like a stiff we-we, he has no conscience.

My god you'd think he might try to get someone else involved. Selfish prick!

And now it's 15 straight misses. It's getting hard to argue that he should stay in the rotation. Nowell has clearly passed him and a pretty solid case could be made that even Okogie should play ahead of him.

Should be a 50 point game if beasley was ever good

While I wholly agree, he's making 15 million. My guess is they are trying to feature him somewhat to move him but he keeps missing. Bleep!!
