View from the enemy: A Wolf Among Wolves
Oh, boy here we go again. A team playing the Thunder without their best player. The Wolves don’t have Kevin Love who re-fractured his hand, which naturally means Derrick Williams is headed for a new career-high. Start preparing yourselves now.
Obviously, you’d expect a frustrated, angry and embarrassed Thunder team to just smite the Wolves tonight. But I’ve thought that before and it hasn’t exactly happened. The Wolves have taken down OKC once already this season and it seems to me when the Thunder try to hard, they often struggle. Bouncing back from the Wizards debacle is key, but really, it’s more about preventing another debacle. You can’t let the Wizards beat you twice.
Minnesota coming in: The Wolves beat Atlanta last night.
Three Little Things
1. J.J. Barea. Stop him.
2. J.J. Barea. Stop him.
3. J.J. Barea. Stop him.
(But seriously though, the biggest key in this game is going to be the Thunder defending the Wolves deadly Rubio-Pekovic pick-and-roll combo. Rubio is playing his first second game of a back-to-back tonight and looked utterly fantastic last night in Atlanta. Controlling him is the key, especially with the Wolves being without Love. He makes the other four players on the floor with him offensive weapons, so defending him and making sure he’s not zipping passes through your legs is important.)
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Thunderers.

Ive seen all of literally every show ever made. Going to film school right now. Top shows you should watch 1.Justified 2.The Wire 3.Homeland 4.Breaking Bad 5.Lost 6.The Shield 7.Prison Break 8.Deadwood 9.Heroes 10.White collar 11.Game of Thrones
@DanielLawler suits, the walking dead should all be shows you'd like for pure character development
@DanielLawler I'm surprised you have Heroes on here. It had a great first season and an immediately terrible rest of it's lifespan.
@DanielLawler the wire!!
@kennygee90 @DanielLawler What, a Kennysquee sighting on a Laker loss night? Must be ptsd.
@kennygee90 I had it
@DanielLawler Where's Sopranos.
@justin_mia @DanielLawler James Gandolfini may be the most perfectly casted person ever for that part in a television series.
Way low, like most drama shows. I have enough real life drama - don't need it on TV too
My Italian relatives would off me if they caught me watching it.
@Crownme But I need some gabagool
@DanielLawler I kind of like white collar, and the one about the guy that nvented a computer for the government but uses it for good.
@Crownme Yeah person of interest, its average.. Yeah sopranos is good, It wasnt exactly my cup of tea. This isnt including great comedies like seinfeld and always sunny, other good ones like damages, nip tuck, the riches, rescue me, weeds, are all good ones but not on the level with those.
@justin_mia @Crownme I couldnt possibly agree more. It became one of the worst shows ever made.. No question. But it was good for a while
@justin_mia @DanielLawler @Crownme Weeds got more and more ridiculous after the town burned down. I stopped watching when she was hooking up with the mayor of the Mexican city or whatever.
@DanielLawler @Crownme Weeds was good to start but got really silly, kinda like how Breaking bad would if it continued past season 5.
Its like brooks plays thabo with the bench to make up for martin's bad defense but it doesnt really help the D d it hurts the O
@RRRWHATEVER It actually does help as Thabo isn't as bad on O as he used to be when he was injured.
@ThunderWins not great at creating for himself
@RRRWHATEVER @ThunderWins Very true, but that's not what we need out of him. He's a spot up shooter, Reggie-Martin are the creators.

Darren Collison was running layup lines for a minute there
Mayo and Martin,who can earn bigger contract next season
@shiki I say Martin will earn more. Mayo should be in that Afflalo range with Thornton.
@justin_mia @shiki afflalo is miles better than martin.. Just watching the 2.
@justin_mia @shiki But I think afflalo is probably the most underratted player in the league personally.
@justin_mia @shiki He is to me.. He brings some passing and obviously defensively is on a different planet. Its not close to me.
@DanielLawler @shiki No he isn't.
@shiki Mayo
i'm really confused why Brooks shortens his rotation every 2nd half. I really like Liggins.
@OBoy Jones III tonight was a ugly 2nd half and the game was basically over so Brooks started to rest his starters
@OBoy Jones III Main guys play better in the 2nd half usually. I thought Liggins came in because everyone sucked.
@justin_mia ah ok that makes sense. He did the same thing with Lamb the game he played good in Atlanta.
I'm not really sure if Thabo playing with the bench is any better than Liggins playing with the bench to be honest.
@OBoy Jones III Liggins or Lamb could be used in that spot right now, I think, without all that much of a difference most of the time.
Tulsa 66ers @Tulsa66ers
After Andy Rautins wins the 3-Point Shootout, Dominique Sutton takes home the Slam Dunk title! That's a sweep for the 66ers!
@Old Man Game @Tulsa66ers a guy named dominique wins dunk contest. go figure
@Old Man Game @Tulsa66ers Dominique Sutton..... Is that another son of Eddies' ??
@Old Man Game @Tulsa66ers Im impressed that you follow the 66ers on twitter.
@Tronchaser @Old Man Game Hey!! I got to their website liek twice a week!
@Lambchop @Old Man Game Ok, I can like that.
@Tronchaser Retweeted by the Thunder twitter.
@Old Man Game -1 cool points
i was at church and didn't get to see any of the game. When i got into my car and turned it on there was about 5 seconds left. Someone give me a brief summary of what i missed, well besides a win.
@sexywatt Perkins got a foul for waving his hand past aguy so hard the air that resulted lifted one of the opponents hairs.
@sexywatt liggins. liggins. KD scored. royce young is kevin love. and did i mention liggins?
@OohWeeItsVelvetHoop
ok what did he do that was so awesome?
@sexywatt he got rotation minutes. and played with great energy
@sexywatt We were at full strength, they weren't. We outpowered them in quarters 2-4. The D-Leaguers should have been here.
@sexywatt Crap. Mediocre. LIGGINS. Great. Okay. Halftime Great. Even better. Garbage time. Thunder wins.
@Old Man Game
lol what made halftime so great?
@Old Man Game
lol ok. well we won and that is all that matters. When people start complaining that we played bad in a win i would suggest the revisit monday's game.
@sexywatt Sorry. "Halftime. Great."
