Note: Today sucks, big time. And basketball seems so comically small and irrelevant right now. Keep that in mind while you’re griping about Perk or whatever tonight.
Considering how Wednesday’s game against the Hornets went, it’s obvious: This isn’t to be taken lightly. The Kings aren’t good, but they do have a little talent and with the Thunder’s last two slow starts, eventually that kind of thing is going to come back to bite them.
Sacramento coming in: Lost to the Bucks on Wednesday.
Three Big Things
1. Rebounding. The Kings have some strong offensive rebounders inside with DeMarcus Cousins, Jason Thompson and Thomas Robinson. The Kings have size and strength. Statistically, they aren’t great on the glass, but they certainly have the ability.
2. Pace. The Thunder have been playing abnormally slow as of late. It hasn’t been really a bad thing, but there hasn’t been a whole lot of quick play. The more opportunities in transition, the better. A few easy buckets can get everyone in a rhythm and a flow and open things up.
3. It’s me, not you. This is about the Thunder, not the Kings. If the Thunder are to slip up, it’ll be on them.
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Prayers.

Ugh, I hate missing the Thunder games but boyfriend duties called today -_______- Does anybody have a link where I can watch the full game? Or is there any way to watch them with league pass? I tried recording the game but my DVR didn't work :\

@MisterJohnsonOKC He's the girl in the relationship....lol jk
@MisterJohnsonOKC yup!
@SoCal Thunder if you have league pass broadband or mobile you can watch all old games.
@OBoy Jones III GOT IT! Always saving me. Thanks!
@SoCal Thunder Replay on Foxsports at Midnight (I think)_
@CDSpark I live in Los Angeles... no FS OKC for me
@Barry Amenema @CDSpark haha doubt I'll be hungry but I can fast forward through it!
@SoCal Thunder @CDSpark schedule your sandwich break for the first half of the 4th quarter
@SoCal Thunder I wonder why I couldn't tell that? DUH
Just got home from the game and listened to the post game on the Animal. They really hammered the subs for not covering Thomas during his tirade in the 4th. What did it look like on TV?. I felt that he just got hot and the turnovers/missed shots fed him on quick sets. He set and shot fast enough to stay away from any help coverage. Also, thought Brooks left them in a bit too long, maybe should have cut to the starters at the +10 mark.
@CDSpark I thought it was pretty flukey. We were bad on defense but it's not often that a guy in a teams 3rd unit is even capable of going off like that . Thomas was a starter for them most of last year and has had his minutes cut big time so he was probably just pissed and went out there trying to prove something. The good thing is that he's on my fantasy team.
Man, every time I look at my computer, Tulsa's down ten points. Come on now. Lol
I keep looking up for signs of life
Games seem easier this year. And tight games we close out better this year. We just continue to get better every year. Nice to be a Thunder fan.
Go Denver
smh at tulsa losing to a team who plays in a convention center.
@Lost Ones This almost looks like a YMCA or something.
Nice three by Lamb.
a couple of 3s...an Orton jam and Tulsa's back in this
Kobe 9-29 30 points 7 reb 7 assists 3 TO
Durant 10-14 31 points 5 reb 3 assists 6 TO
@ThunderWins 3 more TO's...2 less rebound...
Kobe TS %43
Durant TS %86
That sweater Serge is wearing in that interview..... I think he loaned it out to George Costanza....stretched the neck hole out with his bulbous head.

I keep going back to what Royce said on the radio about Lamb, 'I think he could be a spot shooter right now but I think the Thunder want him to be something more' [paraphrase]. I think you have been watching him we might be seeing that. He's handling the ball and attempting to facilitate the offense and set his teammates up at times in addition to scoring. It'll be really interesting to see if this works in terms of using the D-League not just to give a guy confidence but to do a remodel of sorts.
66ers down 10 at halftime...they could really use Liggens tonight
What is going with on phoenix blowing out Utah?
@ThunderWins Maybe the sours game had them so high they did like we did against the Hornets
@ThunderWins Spurs game - whatever
@Crownme and Foye 3-11
@Crownme Jefferson has been ice cold too. 6-15
OKLAHOMA CITY, December 14, 2012 – The Oklahoma City Thunder has assigned guard Jeremy Lamb and center Daniel Orton to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti. Lamb has appeared in eight games this season with Oklahoma City averaging 2.1 points in 4.3 minutes. Orton has seen action in one game for the Thunder, scoring two points in two minutes versus Cleveland on Nov. 11th. Both will be in uniform tonight when the Tulsa 66ers take on the Jam in Bakersfield
@tydude We're watching the game and commenting about it.
@tydude why are you posting this?
@tydude Yeah...we know. Lol

So that was cool enough, but except for the TWolves we don't have any "gimmes" in the near term. As we saw tonight though, the gimmes worry more than the others sometimes. For a while early on I thought we might have to fight through a long tough game.
Did anyone think we got some unlikely calls tonight?
Ibakas Jumper is so pretty
Serge Ibaka took more shoots than Durant tonight. Skip will blame Russ
*shots
@RRRWHATEVER Serge Ichucka Baka
So is Lamb done for the evening after bumping the knee?
@Old Man Game Lamb and Orton got assigned to Tulsa
@tydude @Old Man Game
You just now checking in? :)
@Old Man Game hope not :(
Orton, no. LOL
So...wonder how mad Royce is that he had to redo like the last half of his write-up after the King's almost-comeback...
@ERROR72 he's OK with it... that's why he pays his amanuensis the big bucks
