This ^^^ He needs to defer to the hot hand or drive to the basket. If we could shoot free throws this game wouldn't have come down to the wire.

Tonight, Thunder will play the 2nd of a back-to-back at the Peake against the Timberwolves who have had a day's rest after a punishing lost to the Spurs 124-98.
T-wolves have lost six of their last 7 games; current two game lost streak.

Can't believe this horrific schedule where the Thunder will play five games in 8 nights.
Dec 28 @Phoenix
Dec 30 @Dallas
Dec 31 vsDallas
Jan 2 @Los Angeles
Jan 4 @Portland
Thunder will have a challenge ahead. Stay focused; Abrines get healthy.
28th in 3 point shooting 28th in free throws and 15th over all in field goal percentage. If we don't go get a shooter or start shooting the ball better 2nd round is as far as this team can get.
Abrines and Patterson have shot well below their career averages so you'd hope they'd return to the mean. I would say that's the best chance for shooting improvement outside of picking up a player.
Thunder practice facility; north of Britton and east of Broadway Ext.

Huge weekend coming up. Both Warriors and Nuggets keep losing, let's see if the Thunder can actually capitalize on the opportunity to get into #1 despite choking to do so twice so far.
Suns tonight, then B2B with Dallas for Sunday-Monday split.
EDIT: PG is out tonight, and Abrines is still sick.
Nader jersey sales are strong right now lol.

Westbrook followed up one of his best games of the season with one of his worst games of his career.
He's having a rough season. Is he beginning to regress?
I don’t think Russ’ problem is regression, which would affect his athleticism in getting to the rim. Something is wrong with his shot. He can’t maker free throws or jumpers even near his career averages. No clue what the problem is, but I don’t think his primary problems are related to athleticism or regression.
I'll be on the Thunder tonight -8. Put on a NE eve show guys!![]()

It feels like Westbrook is about to break out of his slump. Hopefully everyone gets in the groove and this team has potential to go a long ways with a little luck.
Officiating has been terrible against the Thunder. I try to take my homer glasses off regarding officials but some of these games are very biased against the Thunder. It's almost as if a directive from the top has come down against the Thunder.
Worst loss of the season last night against WAS. Looks like everyone came out to the arena straight from their beds. Minimal effort. I am sure a bounce back will happen against MIN @ home tomorrow. But they did just fire their coach and players will be going rogue.
Well a historic game last night in San Antonio. Multiple career highs in multiple stats. I loved the fight the team put up. It literally took a historic three point shooting, the refs, and no Noel to beat us in 2OT. This team has the pieces, we just need to string together an identity.
Ferguson has become everything we wanted of Roberson. Grant is a true worker, if he can get some respect from the refs for his defense, he will be a true menace on this team.
Although we are on a 3-game losing streak, last night only made me more excited for this season. I expect a blowout Saturday with SAS coming into town knowing they were gifted that W.
That final play with PG13 and Adams was amazing and heartbreaking all at the same time. Starting with that gorgeous 3 from PG13 that didn't end up counting due to the foul against Adams, then that crazy rebound-and-pass off the rim from Adams' second free-throw... It's a shame PG13 didn't land that second 3. But holy cow. What a game! Disappointed that we lost but that was some amazingly fun basketball to watch.
