Oklahoma City at Charlotte 7:00 PM Saturday

Holy poo the Thunder looked great last night. 

 

Going to be tough to pull this one out.  Think MKG will be decently effective on Durant, but I don't see how we can keep Westbroke from going 30/8/8.  

 

Losing those gimme games before the break make these seem even worse.

Yeah and then we play Dallas Sunday. It's pretty likely well be 10 games under .500 soon

[JJman Returns]

We just are never able to beat the Thunder or Lebron.

[Chaos]

So, i haven't heard any injury updates. After the long break, will we have MKG and Biz back tonight?

Biz has another MRI today so he's not playing. MKG is expected back. KD is questionable tonight so that's their best shot.

Can't wait to see our new and improved team.

Excited to see Mo, PJ and JT getting more minutes, no Neal... Those are all good things.

Furthermore, it's awesome that we traded for Mo before the all-star break because I'm sure it gave him more time to get acclimated with our calls, plays, sets, etc.

[Proudiddy]

Kevin Durant is out tonight per game time app.

[themikestrick]

Kyle Singler starting for Durant and Enes Kanter starting for Steven Adams.  So expect Westbrook to put up 40+ points.

Westbrook is salivating at Mo Williams and Brian Roberts guarding him

With KD out we can move MKG over to Russ.

Without Durant, the Hornets match up better defensively (as noted above).  I wouldn't be surprised if Charlotte threw some combo of Henderson/MKG at Westbrook with some sort of soft double to force him to shoot jump shots. 

 

Further, look for a heavy dose of Al Jefferson as always... It'll be interesting to see if OKC matches up with Kantor or Ibaka defensively.  I think Al has the advantage v. Kantor.  If they play Ibaka on Al, look for Cody to test Kantor's athleticism.

 

Finally, I hope Mo can have a nice game off the bench, I think we'll definitely need it. 

 

Boom Boom Clap!... err I mean, lets go Hornets!

[JJman Returns]

Is Mo coming off the bench or is Roberts?
