If we can have one of these guys pop to compliment Booker and TJ that'd be grrreeaat.

I'm far from a Westbrook (or George, or Anthony) fan but this is a bit much. OKC is 14-6 since the start of December which is tied with Boston for 3rd best and includes surprising losses last night and to Dallas a few days ago. They are already 5th in the west. As for the fit, George fits on every team because he's good at everything. I think this is a good situation for Anthony as well if he can accept the role of a shooter/on-demand scorer (just not on his demand). So I'd say the pieces fit but they need some shuffling to do so. They are starting to play better now and I still think their ceiling is on par with any team outside of the Warriors and (maybe) Cleveland.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:I didn't predict a big Suns win back on Page 1 of this thread. But I did say, and still believe, that the 2017-18 OKC Thunder are garbage. They have star power and big names, but the pieces don't fit and the team is going nowhere. George will leave after this season and Melo's best days are behind him. Westbrook hogs the ball and doesn't play in a way that makes his teammates better or leads to likely group success. They're a good hate-watch this year; I have caught a few of their games hoping to see them lose.
This season is such an indictment of Westbrook. Looking at Indiana and how great they're playing, with Oladipo having an all-star season and Sabonis looking like a good piece, after they both looked like trash next to Westbrook. And look how much happier KD is in Golden State without Westbrook, immediately winning a title and looking like a true champ. Russell Westbrook should be embarrassed. Everything he touches rots, and almost every player who leaves his team finds greener pastures. (Notable exception: Reggie Jackson.)
I think OKC will lose in the first round in this year's playoffs, leading to the departure of George and a depressing offseason overall. And they'll deserve it. They have to address their failure to teach Russell Westbrook how to play proper basketball. At this point it is probably too late for the guy; this is who he is.
So glad they were back.Superbone wrote:Good thing we had Warren and Daniels then.O_Gardino wrote:Bounce back game for Booker. But without Warren and Daniels, we really don't have a chance.
One thing I'll look for is Bender's passing. He's had a few good passing games lately.
Ah, I forgot about that.Split T wrote:Len got into foul troubleO_Gardino wrote:Bender didn't even look tired. He and Jackson were both very good tonight, and this game should show us that our young players are going to be better as the year goes on.
Point-Booker did a great job of picking his spots and letting the other guys take the night. Ulis had his head back on straight, and Warren was Warren.
Still don't understand 30 minutes for Chandler when Len was on the court for a huge run, but I won't complain too much after a great win. Len was +14 in 7 minutes.
You know what you have to do now. You're missing them all from here on out.n4th4n wrote:I MISS ONE GAME AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS???
You're saying he could be as good as Josh Smith?!?!Cap wrote:Tomorrow Bender will be on this list: http://bkref.com/tiny/YwAdM
7-5 in our last 12. Triano is coaching these guys up into a team. I keep waiting for "reality" to set in, but this is part of our reality now.Flagrant Fowl wrote:I haven't watched much recently (vacation, ftw), but are we good or something?

It's a neat group to be a part of. Kevin Garnett (3x), Anthony Davis (2x), Chris Webber (2x), Chris Bosh, Andrew Bynum, Tracy McGrady, Smith, Karl-Anthony Towns and George Wallace.O_Gardino wrote:You're saying he could be as good as Josh Smith?!?!Cap wrote:Tomorrow Bender will be on this list: http://bkref.com/tiny/YwAdM
All 13 other guys combined went 2/5 from 3. Bender went 6/8Cap wrote:It's a neat group to be a part of.

He lived in Seattle when the Sonics were stolen away. He has hated on that franchise since then, and I don't blame him.bajanguy008 wrote:Mori been quite adamant about how his feelings for that team for months so much so that as a newbie poster I been afraid to even comment in fear of being collateralIndy wrote:Wow.
