View from the enemy: Salt City Hoops
It wasn’t expect prior to the season, but the Jazz appear to possibly be Thunder’s top competition in the Northwest. Obviously there’s still lots of time for the Nuggets and Wolves to pick it up, but as it stands now, the team chasing OKC closest is the Jazz.
Utah coming in: The Jazz last played Wednesday, handling the Hornets.
Three Big Things
1. Inside work. The Jazz focus a lot of their attention in the paint and on the glass. Perk will have his hands full with Al Jefferson on the block and Serge Ibaka will have to focus to keep Paul Millsap off the offensive glass.
2. No Marvin. The Jazz are without Marvin Williams who has a concussion, meaning they don’t really have anyone ideal to defend Kevin Durant. Gordon Hayward and DeMarre Carrol will get the bulk of the assignment. So good luck to them.
3. Roll on. The Thunder are in a pretty good groove, especially at home. That talk of lackluster energy and effort has slid away and the Thunder clearly are performing better at The Peake. There’s solid momentum for the team riding off the emotional Wednesday win so you don’t want to kill that now.
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Hoops.

Westbrook: "If you say you're tired, then you'll be tired. But if you just keep going you'll be aight...being tired is just a mind thing." (via Royce)
THIS guy. SMH.
anyone else feel like Ibaka is now better than Aldrigh?
@RRRWHATEVER aldridge is better than Ibaka in offense end.he can make midrange and has good post skill.but his reb and blocks are worse than Ibaka.aldridge is not a great leader for a team but Ibaka cannot play as a leader in a team
@RRRWHATEVER Cole Aldrich or Lamarcus Aldridge?
Yes then No
Aldridge
@RRRWHATEVER how many ppg would Aldridge score if every shot he took was wide open?
@RRRWHATEVER No.
@justin_mia i do... over all.. The only reason he doesnt score as much is because he isnt featured on offense as much... aldridge isnt a good rebounded, serge is a better shot blocker... Aldridge has better post moves
So...I'm probably going to get Sullinger'd here...but despite having 8 turnovers, but Westbrook was +27 for the game, while Maynor was -15. Small sample size, but still...keep that Ironman streak going!
Demarcus Cousins is the best worst player in the league
or is it the worst best player...
Nuggets and Lakers made alot of moves to get approximately nowhere

and by the way, in case you hadnt heard.. Lamb had 33 points on 13-33 shooting
@RRRWHATEVER you know sullinger could.....
he is the next Kobe
Sullingered
Our 4 bigs combined for 33 pts 10 blocks 22 rebs
Iggy you just pulled a Jeff Taylor bro
@OBoy Jones III nobody misses dunks like Westbrook though
@Perk90X they bounce back up into the rafters
Dang Iggy. Lol
@novelisticbee0 I know that feel bro, or used to
Lamb with 33 points on 33 shots 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
@okcjim I was excited when I saw that total but then the FGAs and lets just say less enthused.
@okcjim Hear about Sullinger? ;)
@okcjim so he'll be there a few more weeks
So, other than Royce White who was assigned but won't show up, are all of the guys Houston drafted in June now logging time in the D League?
That's confirmed. I would bet Morey would be on the hot seat if he hadn't gotten that Harden trade.
@Old Man Game D-League isn't a death sentence.
Martin 3/33 that's a discount too
@PerkPunt Way too much
@PerkPunt not really. No teams going to pay him as a #1 option
@OBoy Jones III i think anything less is unreasonable. Presti pays at the market value for his players.
@PerkPunt @OBoy Jones III Who else would offer him 11 at this point in his career?
Just got back from the game. Wow Russ, just wow. KD might be the league MVP candidate, but Russ is the Thunder owners' MVP. He's like a 48 minute car chase scene. Keeps the Peake hoppin
Jodie meeks has always intrigued me.
@cemitten why?
@Lost Ones good shooter.
@cemitten from 3 only
Thank you DeMarcus...I really needed that double double....
Now...cmonnnnnnnn Iggy.
I want the Lakers to lose almost as much as I want my Thunder to win.
@BallSoHard I like it when they build their house of cards and get swept by the Thunder in the playoffs second round. 4-0
@Skyline @BallSoHard You are assuming they make the playoffs
@Skyline cant wait
@BallSoHard I want it to look like the Bobcats played pretty well against us
