I'm going to open a bottle of vintage wine the next time Okogie makes a 3-pointer.

Lu Dort is on a basketball court wearing a basketball uniform, but I think he's playing a different sport most of the time.

Your wine is probably safe.

Actually, it isn’t. Okogie’s misses are keeping FF alive.

Why did Beal just sub out?

He's got the Phil Jackson walk going, FML.

Announcers said he's tired but it looked like the last rebound he got might've hit him funny, either in the gut or lower. Hopefully nothing more than that.

A lot of back and forth in the first half, the Thunder's speed and length giving us some problems but KBD and Goodwin helped give us a nice boost. Beal got it going and the defense tightened up a bit, plus some zone helped at the end of the half. Refs are on their BS again and Vogel got a T over two missed calls. Eubanks playing well in place of Nurk who's off tonight. Okogie can't shoot but is getting to the line and is 8-8 so something's working there. Thunder starters are playing well but they're not getting much from the bench.

Gotta see how this plays out. Tough for guys to go half speed trying not to hurt themselves and the back is tricky as it is. He's been playing hard and hitting the ground a lot.

Halftime, up 59-54. Beal and KD leading us with 13 and 11 respectively. Okogie with 0-2 FG and 8-8 FT (!) in the 1st half. Good to have him out there contributing actively. Eubanks also has 8 points already.

OKC is talented and spry, but they make mistakes and take some bozo shots on offense. And you can sort of feel that they're a young team; they kind of get down on themselves when we score a couple of baskets. SGA is amazing and they have so much talent, though. Not many teams with a brighter future than theirs. This is a fun matchup to watch.

Beal back out there is a good sign

Durant getting the ball and everyone standing around again. Even without a pg, our offense should not be so obvious.

It's better than pouring bleach into my eyes after every miss.

Found an (il)legal stream online and just watched KD with the huge 4 point play!

WTF is with Nurkic passing out of deep post mismatches lately?

That offensive foul on Allen was a terrible call.

Nice little run here. Worried about Beal, hope he’s okay. KD had a nice block on SGA.

Eubanks is like the love child of Chris Dudley and Lou Amundson.

He's Bizzy with offensive touch.
