Didn't they say last night it was a knee contusion?

He's probably out 5 to 10 days.

I was about to say the same thing. At least that's what the ESPN notification I received last night said.

Yep, but they usually follow up on that the next day, particularly if it's minor. Hopefully, it's minor, but if it was simple and short-term then I wouldn't think they'd need more time. Maybe I'm just paranoid at this point. That's understandable, right?!?

Got tickets for tomorrow night's game vs. Memphis. Probably the first regular season game I've been to against them outside of the playoffs! Regardless of the injury situation, I'm excited!!

Some good news for a change?

Thanks, Ijbab728:

As some of the key players parade back into the Thunder line-up from rehabilitation; the better off the whole team will be. This has given some players some valuable reps. Scott Brooks should be able to use this situation to his advantage.

Memphis Grizzlies 91_____ Oklahoma City Thunder 89

Turn overs (17) and free throws (3-11, 27.3%) killed us tonight. Good 3-point shooting night (12/25, 48%).

Reggie Jackson looked great. Good scoring; tremendous improvement by Reggie avoiding the traps.

Jeremy Lamb, Steve Adams & Serge Ibaka expanded their games. Adams play under the basket has gotten better.

It was an exciting game!

It was too bad Ibaka's 3pointer to take the victory was so off balanced. I had a great time.

Win #2 last night!

Would be great to grab another with the next back-to-back; getting two is also a good chance. Bucks tomorrow, then Celtics.

Win #2 last night!

It may have something to do with my mom..... I've managed to get her tickets to both of their wins this season.

It might just be a concidence but if anyone wants to donate tickets to make sure my mom has a seat at the game. I'm sure she would appreciate your support of her helping the team win games.

Made my first game of the season last night and it was really fun to see this team pull together to get the win. All three games this week are winnable and it seems that Anthony Morrow and then Perry Jones and Andre Roberson could be returning soon. While it's admirable how Telfair, Thomas, and Smith have filled in, it'll be nice to get our real rotation guys who need experience some playing time.

Hey, the Thunder their first road game of the season tonight over a team that isn't terrible. Isn't anyone excited a little? And I saw a video on the news of KD putting up shots towards the basket. Good times will get here eventually.

Oklahoma City Thunder 109 Boston Celtics 94

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics - Box Score - November 12, 2014 - ESPN

Thunder entered this game playing their 3rd game in four nights.

Boston had an early 18-3 lead with 6:10 left in the first quarter.

Anthony Morrow was 4-5 from 3 point range (80%); finished the game with 28 point high which matched Reggie Jackson's total production.

Thunder took advantage from the free throw line 19-22 (86.4%). Thunder notched their first road win and improved its record to 3 - 6.

Let's Go Thunder!

Tonight...Might get ugly

[ljbab728]

If you like scoring it was ugly but it certainly was not a blowout.

Harden completely demolished Lamb late in that game. Too bad Reggie got 5 fouls and had to switch off Harden.

Losing these close ones really sucks.

So, this is kind of a random question, but thought this might be the best place to ask it: Let's say Reggie gets offered at the highest $13 million from another team and OKC decides to match it but does not promise him the starting PG spot since we already have RW. We all know that is what Reggie wants. Would he be able to turn down a matching OKC offer if we aren't giving him a starting spot?

Move Russell Westbrook to SG...

I don't think he can turn down any matching offer we make, he's a restricted free agent. I guess he could refuse to sign and go play overseas.... but that would really be a pay cut. But after last night, Reggie should play the 2 spot and not the point, at least until he can learn to pass the ball, and passing with 2 seconds left on the clock doesn't count.

[warreng88]

Move Russell Westbrook to SG...

Yeah, no way Brooks or Presti are doing this. Just like you wouldn't move KD to PF full time, you are not going to move a top five player in the world to a different position.

No, he can't. If we re-sign Reggie I really think he will suck it up and play whatever role the team asks of him. And I think that's the Thunder's plan unless someone makes some kind of Chandler Parsons offer to him.

Yes, he does have value.

Do you get the feeling that Reggie Jackson's best chance to play PG for any team will be determined by his performance for the rest of this season? If he doesn't want to play for the Thunder; let's bait him on a hook, see what we can catch.

Need to win this game tonight. Hopefully Morrow shows up.
