Thunder sitting a few guys…SGA, Wallace, Dort, Hartenstein…still no KD

Isaiah Joe 30 bomb incoming

[Flagrant Fowl]

That under seems a little dicey to me. But we'll see.

Here are his average points, boards, assists this season. As long as he has an average to below average game, you'll be OK. Maybe the Mavs will win and he doesn't play much.
25.8 + 4.1 + 7 = 36.9

[Flagrant Fowl]

That's why they call it gambling, mate.

My thought process is that OKC is a fantastic defensive team regardless of who is in or out of the lineup and they're going to put all focus on Booker. He has not played well enough against OKC to cover that line in two years (4 games). Toss in the probability of a Suns total capitulation with him playing well under his average minutes.

[JeremyG]

Betting $10 on OKC by 26+ pays $100.

[JeremyG]

Mavs lost. Suns are still alive!

SGA out? I would have made a different prediction if I had known, hah. Still like OKC to win because we suck.

[Mori Chu]

Up 46-35 right now. You know, when the other team rests half of its good players, we are not such a bad team!

[The Bobster]

43-point 3rd quarter for OKC, 5 point Suns lead becomes a 12 point deficit.

[Wally_West]

Keep: Book, Dunn, Gilly, Oso but would trade to get rid of Beal.

Bye: everyone else.

Settle down, 1tinsoldier

[Mori Chu]

About to lose by nearly 20 points to the Thunder's B-squad. A fitting end to our slim playoff hopes: not with a bang, but with a whimper. We looked sort of competent for about half the game and then remembered what we were. I will give Beal credit for coming back and putting up a team-high 25 points. Book has 20, 14, and 6. Gillespie has a very serviceable 17 points and 5 boards; very nice game for him.

[Mori Chu]

On the Thunder side, I just really like Chet. My dream KD trade would be KD for Chet and a pick. Sign me up. He'd be a great #2 next to Booker. I think this OKC team is built for a deep playoff run and will win the title this year.

Also, OKC has a lot of players named "Williams" and I got confused.

[The Bobster]

I love OKC's defense.

[Superbone]

Up 46-35 right now. You know, when the other team rests half of its good players, we are not such a bad team!

You didn't give it enough time.
