Good opening quarter. Kinda went away from getting down hill but it didn't hurt them. Losing the guys on the weak side defensively so gotta figure that out. Physical game so far and they've adjusted well.
After 1: 32-24 Thunder
Nice start for the Thunder. Getting downhill really easy
“When you gameplan for them, the battleground is the free throw line
Lakers are a +97 in FTA vs opponents this year. Mark Daigneault on how to prepare for them tonight:
“Let our fans know we really appreciate them and Happy Thanksgiving”
Mark Daigneault came back into the press conference room after he was done speaking to make sure we got this message out
Not a good quarter for the Thunder. Warriors got whatever they wanted on their way to a 33-22 quarter. Bad POA defense, couldn't rebound the ball, and settled too much. No JDub and IHart with 5 fouls.
After 3: 84-83 Thunder
Good half for the Thunder. Didn't keep their foot on the gas like they shoulda but still a lot of good things. Particularly on the defensive end. Held the Warriors to 32.6% from the field and forced 11 turnovers.
Half: 62-50 Thunder
Jalen Williams is headed to the locker room
Kuminga hit JDub in the face with his off hand on that dunk and he's down on the court right now
A lot of teams flip the switch offensively and some really good ones flip it defensively. Thunder are one of the really good ones that flip the switch defensively
Really good opening quarter for the Thunder. Were swarming on defense and got whatever they wanted on offense. Did a good job of making the Warriors uncomfortable.
After 1: 39-23 Thunder
Jalen Williams has passed James Harden to move to 11th most points scored in Thunder history.
Hasn’t even played a full 3 seasons yet
I get a lot of hate on our text line at the radio station. This one has been on my mind all day bc why I gotta be a nasty hoe lol
Thank you!
Some things in the works for The Final Bell!
Very active hands for the Thunder tonight. Has led to 11 steals
Solid half for the Thunder. Have to do better in the non IHart mins but a lot of good things. Missed some easy looks but like the process of getting the shots tonight a lot more than last night. Just better all around.
Half: 47-44 Thunder
Obviously this is Caruso's best game as a member of the Thunder
IHart might have to match Clingan's minutes
Slow start but Thunder settled in and ended the quarter well. IHart was a very nice sight for this Thunder team. Blazers didn't get much when he came into the game. Was a big determent
After 1: 23-21 Blazers
Thunder starters tonight vs. Blazers:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Lu Dort
Jalen Williams
Cason Wallace
Aaron Wiggins
Isaiah Hartenstein is available to play
Isaiah Joe remains out for the Thunder tonight vs. the Blazers. Isaiah Hartenstein however has moved to questionable. A very positive sign
Isaiah Joe just went to the locker room. Was trying to stretch out his calf earlier in the 3rd. Might be related to that.
17 offensive boards for 20 2nd chance points for the Mavs tonight. Size definitely a factor in this one. Also getting out rebounded 48-25
Might need to start the Lu Dort 3 point contest campaign
Really nice Dillon Jones mins here
Markieff Morris 0 mins but 1 tech lol
Solid quarter for the Thunder. Defense has to be better. Specifically their POA. Mavs are getting to the paint too easily. Gotta get more pressure on them.
After 1: 39-34 Mavs
Thunder starters tonight vs. Mavs:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Lu Dort
Jalen Williams
Aaron Wiggins
Isaiah Joe
I’m sorry! Still getting used to using this app and didn’t see this
