View from the enemy: A Wolf Among Wolves
Do you know how long its been since the Thunder lost four straight games? A long time. Not since their first season in Oklahoma City, in fact. Some 1,700 days and 366 games. (That’s of course not counting the NBA Finals. Sad faces.)
They’re currently riding a three-game skid for the first time since last season and host a struggling Timberwolves team at home. If the Thunder slide to four straight losses here, there won’t be panic. There will be pandemonium. Zombie apocalypse level panic. If the Thunder lose this one, Scott Brooks is basically going to become Rick Grimes wandering around looking for Laurie.
Note: Ronnie Brewer will not be active for tonight’s game.
Minnesota coming in: The Wolves won their last game, topping the Sixers on Wednesday.

Three Big Things
1. Perk. He’s a game-time decision. And with Nikola Pekovic on the other side, those few minutes where Hasheem Thabeet guards him could be rough.
2. Serge Ibaka. How about a big game, big fella?
3. Just get right. The Thunder have lost three straight, but they did the same thing last year. Roughing up the Wolves at home to start a little streak will make things feel a whole lot better and make this look like just a bump in the road.
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Win.

@MJOKC i remember a few saying "We could have ATLEAST got Hickson"
@OBoy @MJOKC Yeah i had hoped we would get Hickson but i knew if we were only sending Maynor and nothing else, it was not happening.
@MJOKC @OBoy With three first rounders a high second and the trade exception, we will certainly have more options than most teams to move around on draft night.
@MJOKC @OBoy I want to complain about how our pick is devalued because we go last in the first round.
didn't see the ESPN coverage...what was Simmons skeptical of tonight?
@OBoy It was Glorious, Wilbon, Simmons, and Johnson all trashed Westbrook only for Keyshawn Johnson to set them straight.
@sooner403 @OBoy Magic is one of the biggest RWB haters, although he is lowkey about it. He jumps him any chance he gets though
@MJOKC @tygablood @sooner403 @OBoy that's the cruelest and funniest shit ever lol
@sooner403 @tygablood @OBoy Magic signed a life time 25M contract when he entered the NBA w/the Lakers. #probalilenvious
@tygablood @OBoy i'm thinking if you cover basketball for ESPN it is in your contract to not like Westbrook openly. They all love him secretly i bet.
@OBoy Id guess the Harden trade and how OKC gave the West to LAL
@OBoy Ughhhh.
lol raps may make playoffs. Im rooting for that for now so maybe we get a better pick later. They are on fire and Gay is lights out
Portland with a 2 point lead at the half. Come onnnn Blazers!
I want the DirecTV genie too O.O
wait, it's just a tv box?
You know we should edit these pregame primers. remove all indications of who the opponent is and just see if you can tell if we won by the tone of the conversations. I'm not sure i would be able to tell the difference.
#MuchHappierPlaceTonight
(royce young) kevin martin on brewer " i put ronnie as one of the top five guts i always hated guard me"
Does anyone know if Jenni tweeted from the game tonight so as I'll be able to understand what 'really' happened tonight?
@El Prez "Russell took another big step tonight. He smiled..." @fakeJenniCarlson
@OBoy @fakeJenniCarlson If you do this every game...I'll like it.
Woo hoo! Just got the email I've been waiting for...Mr. Jim Burch says I've been approved the sum of $1.5 million (sweeeet!) and he has been instructed to start sending me $7,600 USD every day! All I have to do is contact his associate Mrs. Franca Lee, give her my personal info, SS#, address, etc., and I'll be rollin' in the dough!
See ya, suckers!
@courtsense You should send that money to Robert Swift so he can make his house payment.
@El Prez @courtsense Really shouldn't like that, but had no choice.
@courtsense Why do I never get lucky like this!!!!

@MJOKC Um, they never said anything about me sending 5 grand...they just needed my account number and password so they could do an auto-deposit!
@courtsense That wench! She promised ME $1.5 million. And her hand in marriage! I challenge you, sir, to a duel!
@Landstander Dude, I'll send you ALL the bacon...relax.
Please let this not be true about Fisher actually being in town. The only way I'm okay with that is if he's joining the coaching staff.
@Old Man Game I can't confirm that it was the Sports Animal that reported it, but if it indeed was then i think you're safe.
@sooner403 @Old Man Game They just saw a bald black guy.
@Old Man Game I'd LOVE for that to happen.
Is GS wearing their new short sleeve uni's?
OH THEY ARE AND THEY'RE SO COOL
Geez, GS has missed all but one of their last ten attempts? :/
why are the Warriors wearing soccer uniforms
@blueRAP Despite their official stance, the NBA actually wants to encourage flopping. They figured that cosplay was the way to go to help get some of the non-floppy players in the habit.
Where does it say fisher is in town?
@PerkPunt I know where he rented last year. I'll check it out. They absolutely loved having Derek in the neighborhood.
@El Prez @PerkPunt #veteranneighbor
@PerkPunt Apparently it was on local radio.

@MJOKC same thing he avg in OKC, prob or less!
@MJOKC LOL!
@MJOKC Agree, he's not a championship teams center. 0-7 against the Heat concerns me!
@MJOKC KG made Perk look better than he was. I didn't understand OKC acquiring him initially. And personally as a starting center, his #'s I'd be embarrased! It is what it is. He and Serge need to up their defensive game enormously if OKC wishes to get back to the finals! Brewer may help Perks game! #fingerscrossed
@MJOKC @Dicharden Prolly...18 or 20. If he had Nash like Marcin Gortat had last year....maybe 22.
A study by Texas A&M found that the average American walks about 900 miles per year. Another study by the American Beer Institute found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Americans get approximately 41 miles per gallon.
@BallSoHard I must be a Hummer then. Gas guzzler.
I don't think anyone minds having Fish back as long as his minutes are limited....
@Bryson NO I mind. Brooks will overplay him. He can't help himself. All that "veteran leaderhip" can't just sit the bench to Brooks' way of thinking.

@MJOKC @Bryson Fish is starting and you guys know it.
@Bryson and he wears smaller shoes.
