I'm hoping we get down 30 quick so we can see a lot of bender and ulis in the 2ND half

Looks like Bender is back to DNPs.

Really starting to dislike Watson.

Bender sighting, so I guess it is.

Westbrook back to the bench. I wonder if we'll see him again in this game.

Anybody else still watching?

Westbrook back in the game, and taking over immediately. Bleds need to start taking this personally. Why do we have Knight guarding him?

Not a whole lot of resistance by the defense today - OKC shooting 55% with far to many layups.

Ya, Westbrook having one heck of a game, 26/20/10. Not sure why Tucker and Knight have been on him, Bledsoe is supposed to be a defensive stopper

****ing great.
The early start has caught me out. Where did Watson say this? That's so bad on so many levels. Warren was hands down our best player before he got whatever injury he got. Hopefully it's all part of showcasing Tucker for a trade.

PJ Lebron. I'm so scared of the contract we will give him if he isn't gone by the trade deadline.

I'm not normally a fan of ink, but Adams's is cool.

Apparently there have only ever been 4 other 20-20 triple doubles. Heck of a game from Westbrook, going by the numbers.

Even most of our young guys don't bother passing. Nothing like spreading the chucking mentality.

Whoa. Was out and about today. Just checked the box score. Westbrook is unreal.

Leander just listed the other four occasions and they didn't include Wilt's famous "double-triple-double" (20-20-20). Apparently whoever did this research didn't go all the way back.

Basketball-reference only tracks triple doubles back to 83-84. Since then, there had only been four 20/20 points and assists triple doubles. However, if you include 20/20 points and rebounds triple doubles, there have been 14 more.

Sorry I didn't reply back sooner guys, I'm pretty sure I saw one of the BSOTS bloggers who are at the game and in the pre game interviews tweet it out, let me try and find the tweet.

But like someone said, it could be a way of showcasing Tucker for a trade. A team like Atlanta could him to finally replace DeMare Carroll. Or even Portland/Chicago could use him as well.
