    OKC is taking no chances either. I’d like to think I’m pretty knowledgeable about most players in the NBA, but the guys that OKC is strolling out there is baffling me. Outside of Jaylen Hoard (only because he played for us), I don’t know any of these guys.

    This has to be the tankiest game in the history of tanking. All time low in NBA history.

    Buncha youngsters playing their hardest for a chance to maybe make a contract next year. An American opportunity story if there ever was one.

    Ben McLemore reminds me of Patrick Swayze in Point Break. Everyone else in Point Break knew that movie was schlocky 90's nonsense but Swayze was acting like he had a chance at an Oscar. Swayze did a helluva job but it seemed really out of place. The only difference between McLemore and Swayze is Point Break was still trying to succeed as a movie.

    They've got us by ten right now but you know what they say, "In the NBA everyone has a scoring drought." We can get right back in this one.

    OKC is not gonna win two games against us with the records as they are. They're gonna make sure of it.

    this game is exactly why it was important for SAC to win those two games earlier.

    GB3 - 17 points on 7 shots. Is that good?

    I get that these kids are playing for their NBA futures...but the fact they show more heart and hustle than the high-salaried vets we were trotting out earlier in the season makes me wonder why I waste my team on this league.
