    I just hope they don’t get blown out and at least look good despite the loss

    Landale and Nate Williams will destroy the Thunders.

    Honestly I would rather give up this game and go hard vs the Pacers.

    Knowing Ime we will run Jalen and Amen ragged, get blown out by OKC anyway and then be too tired and also get blown out by the Pacers. Also both Adams and Tari will play vs OKC and so we will have 4 players out vs Pacers on top of everyone being tired AF.

    Good test to know where we are. West is open, its no time to start having negative bs around. We play whoever is healthy and we should be in until the end.

    Based on the injury report, that's exactly what they're doing. And I agree with this strategy. Sure, they might be able to beat the Thunder if they're at full strength and go all out. But they'd have nothing left in the tank for Indiana which tips off 23 hours after the OKC game gets underway.

    Better to give yourselves the best odds possible to win against the 34-25 Pacers rather than waste it all against the 49-11 Thunder.

    Another loss on the way. The collapse continues...

    Looks like an opportunity to get a good look at some of the guys who have been riding the pine.

    Jalen Green is always dependable. I’ll always have respect for him always being available to play. Reminds me of Harden

    They'd have to try to collapse. After the Thunder and Pacers, they get the Pelicans twice, Magic, Suns, Mavs, Bulls, and Sixers.

    Yeah, this is where our schedule really softens up. Probably not a bad idea to rest the starters right here and prepare to hopefully make a big run. We're finally about done with these stupid B2Bs and only have a handful of tough opponents left after tonight.
