    This is a curious one. MDA says WB will play the 1st game of B2Bs, to presumably have best chance of making sure we win one of them, but that's WB's return to OKC for the first time ... and only one this year.

    surely, WB will play the 2nd game in OKC, or maybe both on that road trip?

    I think he rests for Hawks if he rests at all.

    I would think back half as OKC is playing well right now and are currently 7th seed.....and the Hawks are well, young
    and tend to make more mistakes. Eric Gordon will probably play against the Hawks and not vs the Thunder.
    That is how I would play it, imo.

    Very good observation HP.

    I honestly don't see why we can't get the number 1 seed if we can get our defense locked in. We still have 3 games to play against them.

    Well, the Raptors and Nuggets did us favors last night. Rockets are 3rd seed and only 3.5 games out of 1st. I think with the Lakers recent skid that 1st seed is back in play.

    it's only Dec. 23rd and we are 3.5 games back and we've played like sh#t all of Oct. and Nov. and half of Dec., yet we are somehow 20-9 and we are only just now starting to play decently.

    Why not the #1 seed bro?
