Is SGA out tonight? I didn't know he got injured.

Not only is he injured he is in protocols now

Oh shit! Right when they need him most during this stretch.

Sucks to see a player out like that but it should make things easier for the Lakers tonight.

Thunder have lost 4 in a row since the break, which means they are due to play a good game.

@thunderc kinda curious...

With SGA out potentially for a little while, and the Thunder dropping to 13th place, at this point would you rather see them tank for a better draft pick, or would you prefer a push for the play in?

 

[Wamu]

Don't think its too serious. He'll probably be out again tonight against OKC just out of precaution but I'm keeping my fingers crossed he might be available again against Minnesota on Friday.

With LeBron out your Lakers need all players ready to go. Hope whatever it is isn't something that's lingering.

Need D'Lo back urgently.

That upcoming schedule was for the Clips actually

At this point I think ideally the Thunder would make the play in but not advance so they get to stay in the lottery. I think the decision has been made that they are going to try to win as many as possible, but still develop players. I’m pretty confident at some point this season the Thunder committed to SGA that they would try to win.

Yeah, no matter what he says he is going to get blasted.

But in fairness, he has kind of earned that.

I get that but let's not act like it was some crazy comment because it wasn't

I was encouraged how they played in Memphis yesterday in the first half, despite a BILLION turnovers.

Then Ja went off in the 3rd and the team just crumbled.

Huh! Quite similar to the Lakers. They play the Warriors and Griz in the next few games too

Oh I don’t think we know enough to say that, with Irving it absolutely could have been a crazy comment. If he meant he’s tiring of having pressure then yeah it’s another crazy Kyrie comment. If all he meant was that he needs to quit pressing then it wasn’t. Context.

Ja can do that from time to time. Always frustrating when he does it to your team.

Not a Memphis fan. But I really like his game.

 

[Pastafazul]

The fella you be talkin about has a big heart , small brain.

 

[Pastafazul]

Um…

Teams guard the 3 a lot harder and a lot better than they did in prior generations because it is such a priority.

Um….


Explain a lot harder.

You mean they hope it don’t go in?

He's a little fucking asshole.

But he can play!!

Thunder, Wolves, Warriors then Grizz again. Any of these teams on a westward road trip often play both of the Lakers and Clippers in short order.

Yeah, that's why I got confused.

Talented player, but I had to laugh when they talked during the game about his maturity growth. He's still an immature punk, but to be expected.

 

[bksballer89]

Lol unreal

Sometimes talking to you is like clapping with one hand...
