Big test right out of the gate for Ryan Saunders. But Hallelujah, no more stubborn/killjoy/ogre as our head coach. Oh happy day.
This will be a solid test. Part of me thinks that the team is going to work extremely hard to get Ryan his first win and show their appreciation but part of me says its a road game and we haven't done that well.
Predictions?

2 things that I want to see:
1. Match-ups that put us at an advantage (or at least not a disadvantage), as opposed to Thibs just following his own cookbook abut when and who to substitute. 2. No 10+ minute stretches for guys. I don't care if anyone plays 30 or 36 minutes, but break them up into reasonable stints.

The refs are awfully quick with their whistle when OKC has the ball.

Thank you Candace.
After listening to Fratello whine about how we fired a "Top 5 in the NBA" coach, its refreshing to hear Parker talk about how Thibs had been unable to adapt to the current game.

Wiggins is playing like he has something to prove. And he does.

Teague, Tyus and Okogie all in together.
I doubt that ever happened under Thibs.

Okogie's drives are so much more under control lately.

KAT having to sit is killing us.

We got both versions of Teague in the 1st half.
A very solid 1st quarter, but the team just kind of died in the 2nd when he came in - offense slowed down and defense fell off.

We had a 5 on 4 for like 15 seconds and Teague spent the whole time trying to run a pick and roll with KAT...

One thing about OKC that I really like is their sportmanship. Grant jumps on top of Teague and OKC players help them both out. Adams lands on tops of Taj and he makes sure that everything is good. That's pretty cool.

Terrible call on Okogie.

Scary play. It looks like Wigs elbow knocked him out at the top of the play and he went down totally unprotected.

Teague with one of his patented cheap shots...
Refs didn’t catch it.

Teague ejected.

Oh. They tossed Teague. Guess they did catch it.

How do you throw Teague out for that?

Post by Bonecrusher on Jan 8, 2019 20:52:46 GMT -6
When Tyus is in the game there is so much more movement then when Teague is in. To be a blessing in disguise that Teague was ejected.
