Im sorry but San Antonio or Dallas come to mind when it comes to best in the west.

Haven't we given up on Lamb by now?

He's in his 3rd or 4th year and hasn't really had the opp to do what he does best... In this case he's probably the second best scorer on the team.

Thunder looked terrible without Russ last night.

How Russ break his hand? Smh.

trying to grab a board, he hit perkins elbow.. crazy

 

[flyerthandelta]

Have they stated how long Russ will be out for?

 

[ny mavurs]

The Thunder are in a bit of trouble

Can't expect them to just go on a 30 game win streak when KD and Russ come back

22 7 and 5. He wasn't the reason they lost lebron was

Last season:

Quincy Pondexter missed the entire season
Marc Gasol missed 23 games
Tony Allen missed 27 games
Mike Conley missed 9 games
Zach Randolph missed 3 games (mostly while all of those guys were out as well)

This was before we traded for Courtney Lee and our healthiest players during that stretch were probably..

Conley
Bayless
Ed Davis
Jon Leuer
Tayshaun Prince
Mike Miller
James Johnson (signed him later)
Calathes

There was a few games where we only played with 9 players. We started the year 14-18 and finished the year 36-14.

I'm not sure on the timetable for guys like Lamb and Jackson to come back, but I do believe OKC can weather the storm for the first 30 games if those guys come back. Between Ibaka, Adams, Jackson, Lamb, PJ3 and Morrow, they are probably more talented than the unit we had to work with at that point in time. A good portion of their games are against the East in November and their hardest stretch is mid to late December. They will struggle, but I don't expect for them to just lay over and go 5-25 without Russ and KD.

The beginning of the NBA season is always weird and unexpecting

Thunder aren't making the playoffs. Crazy to think they had Harden coming off the bench at one point. 

 

[bartleby929]

Damn man Thunder could never catch a break... but if they somehow stay decent until Russ/KD is back and sneak into the playoffs.... they will potentially be the best team in the west. Guys like Adams, Lamb, Jackson & Jones would be MUCH improved and will earn brooks trust.

It's that karma for putting the bottom line ahead of chasing rings by letting Harden go. There was a good article on it, even w/ the tax, the owners woulda broke even at worse. ANd they sorta stole the team from Seattle too. Just bad karma.

Injuries hitting every team hard this season

*prays Denver stays healthy this year*

Haven't we given up on Lamb by now?

gotta hope for something.. as I said last night.. if reggie, lamb, pj3 and adams are still playing I can be hopeful

we kinda know what Roberson is (ditto collision and perkins.. which are 3 of are remaining 8 players), which doesn't work if you don't have the main guys around.. maybe one of the higher ceiling guys breaks out (lamb or pj3)

we also know what Telfair isn't.. and that's a dude who should be in the NBA

 

[krazy88s]

The Thunder(s) don't have bad luck. Since 2007 they hit a home run with nearly every 1st round draft pick they had

morrow is out 4-6 weeks too.. ditto mcgary

reggie and lamb are the only guys who are currently out who should be back soon.. hopefully

faried and josh smith throwing shots at one another

He told the truth Smith was feasting in that first quarter..

Kenneth Faried gave his opinion on what Detroit’s primary problem was.

“Josh Smith, we let him keep shooting,” Faried said. “And he ended up with 25, but he still kept shooting. He shot them out of the game.”

I don't respond to nobody with dreadlocks who plays basketball. He's a clown, quote me on that. He knows it's coming, he knows, next time we play. In order to make those comments like that, you gotta be able to back it up and we'll see next time. I'll have some words while I'm busting his (behind). I back it up when I talk. It's gonna be a pretty good matchup.

He fears me. He's scared of me, so, of course, he'll talk about me in the paper. He won't do it to me in my face. If you have to hide behind a microphone or smartphone, so be it. I don't mind.

Dude is one level away from a you got 2 moms joke.





Josh Smith followed up with 10 points on 5-16 shooting against Minny. At least Monroe is back.

Cavs need to make that navy uni the permanent home jersey. forget the white at home, goes perfect with their floor too.

Hyped for cavs/bulls tonight.

Russ went from never missing games to getting these weird and untimely injuries

Russ went from never missing games to getting these weird and untimely injuries

Was just thinking the same thing this morning. From iron man to can't stay healthy. Really hope once he gets past this latest freak injury, he'll be back to his old durable self.
