Hey, the Thunder aren’t playing on national TV finally! What’s that? They’re playing the Bobcats? Oh, well that makes sense.
The last time these two teams met changed things quite a bit. The Thunder smashed Charlotte by 45, holding them to 69 points. At one time, OKC was up 55 points. But the Bobcats were 7-5 when they came to OKC. Since the Thunder humiliated them, they’ve gone 6-43. Ouch. I don’t know if it all unraveled there, but it certainly adds up.
Charlotte coming in: Lost Wednesday to the Nets.
Three Big Things
1. Russell Westbrook. He rolled his ankle Thursday against the Knicks but duh, he’s starting tonight.
2. Turnovers. I think we’ll get a good sense of how locked in the Thunder are based on their ball security. Slop it up and it could be a Wizards repeat.
3. Focus and energy. Coming off a game last night, it’s all about paying attention. The Thunder can’t just assume that they’re going to win this game. They will have to perform, will have to play. The Bobcats do compete and play, despite their horrific record.
Tip at 6:00 CT. Go Basketball.

@qrex APOLOGIZES!!!!!!!!
@Legendary_Dork @qrex qrex would not LIE to you!
@ThunderWins @Legendary_Dork Or would I?
@qrex wait...really lmao
@qrex LIES!
I'm very happy Maynor got traded. He was one of my favorite Thunder players but he wasn't going to get any minutes here... I'm glad he's doing well for the Trailblazers too
@SoCal Thunder Who was the poster that was absolutely in love with Maynor? The one that always started a rant whenever Brooks would play Reggie over him? Did he go to the Blazers board now?
@SoCal Thunder exactly
@areayewhy @SoCal Thunder He shooting so much better now.
statistics> emotional reactions, always go by statistics friends, nothing else matters #s never lie.
@Lost Ones Great point, Lost Ones. Sometimes I think we get too caught up in statistics and numbers that we over look the subtleties of what's going on during the game.
@[censored] @Lost Ones Numbers can definitely lie - with human manipulation.
Brooks was just asked "Do you think the 21-0 run was predicated on defense?" Now we know who is texting in the questions of the night...
@Barry Amenema Sounds like Darnell trying to troll Brooks. Wait till he asks Westbrook...

Maybe you should add something like, "No DTers were harmed in the posting of this comment."
@MJOKC re; ***disclaimer***
I am almost always non-serious. I get it, be cool.
@Crownme @MJOKC
Love your bio comment. :)
@MJOKC pretty sad
@MJOKC *flagged for political correctness*
@MJOKC No spoilers
@MJOKC are you getting flagged yet again?

@Stringer Bell @MJOKC You need to spell-check that essay bro! Way too many mistakes! jk!
@MJOKC @PKBOB Dont tell people about my essay!!!
Really glad to see how well Reggie is playing at the moment. Even with the addition of Fischer his confidence is high and he's making good decisions.
His scoring has been a big help off the bench and could be huge if he can keep it up for the playoffs.
@Stringer Bell It all started with Maynor getting the boot. BTW maynor getting lot of playing time in Portland now.. good for him..
@Stringer Bell Reggie's been great. Finishing in the paint. If he could nail down a jump shot..
@[censored]
Seems to be improving slowly in that regard. Still, far more dynamic than what Maynor was providing.
@Stringer Bell His length gives me a lot of hope for him on defense as well.
Hey guys, we won. Let's just be happy ok?
@PKBOB NEVAAAR.
@PKBOB Aint we suppose to win?
@Lost Ones I was just fishing for some likes. Guess it didn't work out very well.
@PKBOB
No We're contenders!
Can we just talk about that Russell pass to KD for the dunk though? I mean, what even. Lol
Obama and the federal government should step in and take over Charlotte like they did with GM and Chrysler. It borders on scandal and pyramid scheme of sorts that people in Charlotte pay money to attend these games.
@El Prez I'm getting a subtle vibe that you think Charlotte as a franchise is a joke.
I learned on DT that Hardens loser body language in the finals didn't mean much
This comment has been deleted
@MJOKC @Lost Ones It means a lot. We lost in the Finals in part due to poor body language. LeBron's regal gait should have been enough to warn everyone of what was about to happen. I'm surprised Vegas isn't in on this yet.
@MJOKC @[censored] @Lost Ones Cameras everywhere!
@[censored] @MJOKC friend this is not the way you talk to others
@MJOKC @Lost Ones I disagree but you're entitled to your opinion... your body language right now has me worried about your health. Do you get enough potassium in your diet?
@MJOKC @[censored] You didnt hear KD crying was a fake emotion, and that his uber TS% pushed us over the edge
@MJOKC Apparently not, apparently statistics dictate everything human reaction doesn't mean much anymore
Ah man.. @Spurs monday night, b2b game. Don't have high hopes for this one.
If there's anything Lamb is good at, it's him being able to give me an inordinate amount of hopes and expectations for him after just seeing him play for 7 minutes.
18-1 when Lamb plays
@Sigmund To be fair..he only plays when we up 20 in the 4th.. hard to screw it up
@neo12 Well Perry lost 6 games in his NBA career.
@neo12 @Sigmund What was the 1?
@qrex @neo12 Brooklyn when KD was ejected.
@qrex @neo12 @Sigmund
I don't remember, but there was a game where he checked in during the second Q, and we lost that game.
