2019-20 OKC Thunder

I’m curious how much more teamwork there might be with Westbrook gone. There seemed to be quite a bit of standing around the court watching Westbrook play by some of the other players. Without him everyone might feel more inclined to play team basketball.

Yes. And we should see significantly less ill-advised jump shots. If that were a statistical category, Westbrook would have a number of Quadruple-Doubles.

I bet that team 3 point shooting average goes up also. And we know how they like to shoot 3s.

One thing is for sure....we’ll see a lot less wins without Russ.

Adams had a rough night. However, Muscala came in and Jazz just torched him. They went on immediate run with Mitchell taking over game. No sure why the 3 guard line-up was tossed out there late in the game. Shroeder didn't contribute much. Probably going to be a lot of those games where it's a tight fit but tough to close out for a win.

This would be ideal. Get experience to our young guys and accumulate losses. We literally should shoot for the 15th seed.

I actually thought Muscala was better defensively than I ever expected he could be. Gallo, on the other hand, looked like his feet were stuck in cement. I do agree that going with Schroeder late seemed like the wrong move.

The big takeaway from last night is that the Thunder have a stud in Shai Gilgous-Alexander, look to have a decent defense, and were pretty fun to watch for a lot of it. The Thunder schedule is absolutely brutal to start so don't be surprised if the record isn't great.

The crowd at the home opener will be interesting... I'm coming up from Texas for the game. Can't wait.

^Will be very interesting. I've never seen the Thunder send out some of the emails we've been getting - basically begging people to show up and use their tickets.

Ferguson is the new Andre. Dude can't buy a basket.

he sucks. would rather see the minutes go to Bazley or Diallo.

[Quicker]

he sucks. would rather see the minutes go to Bazley or Diallo.

He’s just off to a slow start, we’ve seen him play much better. I agree about Bazley and Diallo though...they both appear to have really high ceilings especially considering where we got them in the draft... I really like our defensive potential and how hard we play

Ok it might be worse than I thought. Looking at first 20 games I was hoping for an 8-12 start. I though the first 5 games of the season we could go 2-3. Nope we lost to the worst team in the NBA in the Wizards. I'm afraid 0-5 start is coming and not even sure if we can beat the Pelicans. My worst case of going 5-15 in the first 20 games is looking like a reality now.

[dankrutka]

First, the crowd was good. Some empty seats, but mostly filled and fans were into it. We had a good time.

One note: the Thunder store is embarrassing. Their inability to stock quality products is astounding. So many bad designs. The Thunder got SGA how long ago and there was literally one item to you could buy if his? And by one, I literally mean the Thunder store had one jersey left in stock. Nothing for any other player besides Adams.

To the game, CP3, Adams, and Ferg were awful. The latter two have looked as bad as I’ve seen them. They can play better and hopefully they will. Gallo needs more shots. SGA is an absolute stud.

I heard on the radio that secondary market ticket prices are down 70 something percent this season.

Yep, the games against the big name teams are still going to be pricey, but I'm looking forward to getting cheap tickets to see some good teams without quite the same level of star power (thinking specifically of when the Jazz and Nuggets come to town).
