The last preseason game before the real stuff starts in a week. Hooray.
The Thunder are expected to play their full complement of players, but with this being the last chance for the non-guaranteed guys to impress, there’s potential to see a good bit of them as well. Maybe Scott Brooks will show his hand with playing time. Maybe the first half will mimic how he plans to approach his regular rotation for the season. Maybe we’ll really learn something.
Tip is at 7:00 CT in Wichita. And on local TV too! Here’s a stream for all you out-of-towners.
Lazar Hayward is not good at basketball.
Does anyone know what Kelly Krull is doing right now?
Getting blessed by my Arm Shield.
@El Prez she is doing some broadcasting stuff someone else she opt out her last year with thunder contract
@tydude @El Prez Doen't look like it https://twitter.com/kcru11 "@BrandonDean85 Thanks for the support ;) Just keep your eyes peeled, u'll be seeing me soon! And root on those OKC boys!"
@El Prez at my house
Kelly spoiled me as our sdieline reporter. Eyes that would swallow you. I never noticed her nose in all the times she did games for us. Don't get me wrong--Leslie is an attractive woman with incredible eyes as well, but........
@El Prez
Good! I'm interested in seeing how the lists of some of us relative stat/bbiq lightweights (myself included) fare against the big guys. (Btw, don't think I've EVER been called that.)
:)
Interesting...Fraulein TC. Two can play in this game of cat and mouse. I'm keeping my list as it is.
@El Prez
Btw, the El Prez brand opinion was being sought in the newer thread . . .
@El Prez
Interestingly, he was considering a change too, but decided against it when I told him about the similarity to your list. (That might not be exactly how it happened, but it was something like that.)
:)
TC... did Justin and I really have similar lists? He's a pretty smart guy. I didn't know we had similar lists. Now i'm not sure I want to change No. 7 on my list or not. Is this like So You Want To Be a Millionaire/ Do I have a phone a friend option in this contest?
@K-Dagger Plainview @El Prez
What do you mean? It took me thousands of posts to win him over . . .
@El Prez Wow, youre a push over, El, easily smitten
@El Prez
I GUESS . . . (for you)
Actually, you and justin submitted the closest to identical lists . . . just had your #1 and #2 transposed.
What do you want to change?
TC,,,can I change one of my picks on the Western Conference 1-8 Contest or am I locked in? I'd like to make a change.
@El Prez
Well . . . at least you have the upcoming weather changes to cheer and distract you. :)
http://www.dailythunder.com/2012/10/thunder-88-mavericks-76-five-thoughts/ time to move
@tydude Yes, sir.
Lin is terrible like i always said
@Lost Ones Was shooting 25 percent heading into this game IIRC.
@Jooseppi lol really holy shit lol
Clippers did start the Got him thing on twitter
@tydude yep, they got this one on YT right now

I know Dwight has owned Serge when tehyve played against each other, and I dont think Serge will evr own him, but I am expecting a much more confident and agressive Serge when he plays against teh lakers this year. His cockiness is shaping into fearlessness and I look forward to seeing it

@MisterJohnsonOKC Gasol is a crafty bastard and gives everyone fits. I expect Serge to collapse on Dwight constantly. I expect wars
i can't stand the clippers broadcast
@tydude SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM Dunk!
Im not giving up on Cook but man, I'd ando ything to get Lazar of this team. We should pass a collection dish at the first game to help offset the lost salar/buyout.
@Old Man Game cant believe we gave up a stash pick for lazar
@Lost Ones @Old Man Game Two.
@Jooseppi @Old Man Game disgusting im sick right now
LakersReporter Jordan and Griffin should play for the Clippers. LAL without Bryant (foot), Howard (rest) & Clark (groin). 10/24/12 8:06 PM
@tydude You should change your name to TwitterNewsFeed

@MisterJohnsonOKC @tydude twitter. :3
@MisterJohnsonOKC go to twitter and search Lakers or you can search LakersReporter
@MisterJohnsonOKC @tydude Yeah. I have an extension for Google Chrome called Chromebird so I don't have to switch between tabs just to check twitter.
@MisterJohnsonOKC @tydude I started out using twitter as a glorified RSS feed. It progressed from there.

@MisterJohnsonOKC I think he lives in LA man....good luck finding him in OKC
@MisterJohnsonOKC let me check
I find it strange so many are willing to give up Cook for end of bench players. Cook was very valuable to the team in 2010-11 and the start of last season. He knows the system and our players are comfortable with him.
@justin_mia Im a fan of Cook, actually but Ive come to realize hes decidedly one dimensional. It would be nice if Liggins (or Hollis) could emulate his 3s but offer more
@justin_mia no reason to give up him.we dont have enough shooters
@justin_mia Cook realistic could positively contribute next year. I don't understand it either.
@justin_mia this year*
@justin_mia I think cooks has a lot of tangibles hes valuable to our squad in spurts and certain rotations.
DarnellMayberry To those suggesting OKC trades Cook, it's not that simple. A team has 2 be willing 2 take in $3.1 million this season AND give up something. 10/24/12 9:25 PM
@tydude Not if the trade is with a team under the cap or has a trade exceptoin to use.
@tydude And even in standard trades, they can take back 25% less salary.
Tydude, why didn't you tweet this?
Darnell Mayberry: RT @ou_sas @DarnellMayberry Any chance Thunder tries to trade Cook/Lazar to free up a roster spot & pick both? (Yep. But they need a taker.)
@ou_sas Lazar should prepare for a new career
@Lost Ones @ou_sas spanish acb
@Old Man Game @Lost @ou_sas He's not good enough for Spain.
China.
@ou_sas didn't appear on my twitter feed
i.e. they'd need to pay a sizable portion of their salaries. Lazar at least. Cook probably has value.
@ou_sas I think Lazar is almost impossible to trade at this point unless we are paying to have him traded
