    We were good that year too. We beat MJ’s Bulls the game before.

    Luguentz Dort was the only player who played in both (unless Poko is still on the Thunder roster?)

    Down by 62.
    Billups doesn’t look concerned.
    He must have a plan.

    At this point, I would probably trade a 1st round pick for Mark Daigneault or Will Hardy.

    Honestly, it takes effort to be down 62 points in 45 minutes.

    I THOUGHT that was the case. Wasn't that the 72 win Bulls?

    We’re not tied for 5th all time. It’s a 48 minute game.

    Fuck!!! This team is two years away from being two years away. Shop every player on the roster. Trade every “win now” guy that is on the roster because they sure as shit aren’t helping us win now!

    You're right. We're going to be #1 easily.

    the Thunder are just playing basketball. The Blazers have absolutely quit. They're sick of trying to save Chauncey & Rodney's coaching job, but they're too proffesional to say their coaches suck.

    You can tell when a team has a system/culture and is being coached well when their bench unit comes in and plays the same way as the starters. OKC’s bench is passing and moving like their starters.
