Still think you need to move some people that have value. However it will be a hard call depending if they are like 4-5 games ahead for the 8 seed. Then you might gun for the playoffs. If your tied for 8th or just below than you tank.

I think OKC is in trade mode regardless of the record... even if they're sitting comfortably in the 7th seed. The problem is that Gallinari has real value as quality player on an expiring contract that can return assets that can really help OKC rebuild for the future... but if OKC plays out the season then they lose that future value for... what? A 7th seed and first round loss at best? I just can't see a situation where Gallinari isn't traded and, once he's traded, I just don't think this team can compete. His outside shooting is massive for this offense. But, it's fun to see this team compete now. Then again, the bottom of the West is surprisingly wide open.

CP3 has really been playing well as of late. I wonder if a team will talk themselves into his contract.

The trade market effectively opens up on Sunday (12/15) and extends until the trade deadline in February. It'll be interesting to see if an underachieving team panics into a move (see Portland) or whether OKC waits out the market into February.

Welp, Gallinari is out tonight against Utah so we might get a (small sample size) preview of what the team will look like without him.

Championship caliber! Lol. That was a really, really fun win. This team is playing well together. Glad to be wrong.

Great win vs Utah

Two of the Thunder message boards have little traffic this year and are on life support. Support your team folks before they're gone.

This is the most fun I have had during a Thunder season since before Roberson went down. Zero expectations and seeing the young guys develop is really cool. Also all of our trade pieces are increasing their value a ton right now. Presti has to be really ecstatic about how this is playing out.

Traditional message boards for sports have mostly gone out of style. Reddit is going to be your hornets nest for these things, there is constant discussion in the thunder subreddit, and obviously the nba subreddit is massive.

Gotta like the Thunder's chances of winning this one given that this arena is named after an OKC craft beer

True, but you have to consider whether the noise of Thunder is more powerful than two or more Kings. Something to think about.

Up 14 in third, lose the lead. Build another lead and lose that. The "possession" where SGA had no idea he had 4 seconds to get the ball across mid-court was really bad. That was a "should have won" game.

[Rover]

That 4 seconds was controversial. The ref ruled that SGA actually had possession before it was knocked out by Sac. Billy, and most people, would agree that OKC didn't have "possession" and that OKC should have had 8 sec. Billy said it was his fault for not letting SGA and the rest know that the ref ruled possession and only 4 sec remained. Ref never informed SGA or other players, so they assumed they had 8. Controversial play, to say the least.

[Anonymous.]

Billy sitting Nader when he is redhot is the most Billy thing of all time. I think he sat Nader with like 3 minutes to go? It would be cool to see us try and draw up a play for someone to the win the game. Having CP3 go one-on-one in that situation is pretty weak. We suffered enough with forcing the ball to Russ or PG and jacking up a 30 foot jumper for the win. Let our new guys learn to win in a situation like that.

Just want to again say that I'm impressed with the spacing & ball movement of this Thunder group. Best I've seen since we obtained an NBA franchise.

Well, that was fun.

Crazy....have to admit I was pondering an early exit in the 3rd but stuck it out. Wow. CP3 quite a 4th.
