    Dame nearly just had a 50/10 game on national tv. Taking his play for granted when we don't recognize his greatness.

    Amazing effort by Dame...CJ shot us out of the game in my view...I love games with so many lead changes and ties let alone overtime but disappointing loss nonetheless. The non call on PG at the end was the kicker.

    Dame and CJ was looking to score last night and they did but when you don't involve other players then it always hurt this team. Yes Dame got 9 assist but they were to CJ and Nurk. But Harkless and Aminu couldn't hit the side of the barn with there shot if slap them in the face. But we stay in the game due to Westbrook and George was in the same mod. The difference was OKC got some lucky bounces at end of the game. OKC was trying to bully us all night long and look like Nurk got fed up especially after a elbow in the side of his head. I didn't care Nurk got thrown out with the head butt it show he wasn't going take no more crap out there. Plus the chip shot from Westbrook in early part of the game. One these days someone going lay out that punk Westbrook.

    We lost. It happens. We have a very good team. I'm excited to see how we play down the stretch.

    Thanks! We've got a real decent team that could very well redeem themselves from last year?
    NBA basketball is FANtasttic.

    This is 100% made up.

    Kanter wasn't signed until after the trade deadline so it would've been impossible to know that his minutes were about to be cut.

    Ummm 6-4 in the last 10 is not a record to brag about.

    I agree he’ll be a career 6th man contender for the most part of his career

    The main difference is Dame wouldn't do what Westbrook did to Nurk.

    fact...Zach was in a pretty long slump until the end of that Warriors game when he had that defensive spurt...his minutes are limited because he lost them on the court, not off the court

    The reality reality is that we shot terribly from 3 (they did too, but fuck them). If we had hit our 3s that game might very well have worked out differently. Many of the ones we missed were WIDE OPEN. Watching on my laptop with sleeping kids and wife nearby, I must've said "Fuck!" loudly then "Sorry!" immediately afterwards like 20 times last night...

    Wouldn't that equate out to a 50 win season if they won 6 of every 10 games? 50 Wins usually is considered a good season.
