Corey Brewer, somehow, makes sense for the Thunder in the starting lineup as a Roberson replacement. He’s been hanging around on the fringes of the NBA for years now, but all of a sudden he is a wanted cog in a playoff team. I’m not even going to make jokes about how he scored 51…

Steven Adams 18 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2018)
The Thunder needed some last-second heroics by Russell Westbrook to beat the Kings, and I don’t even know how that happened given that the Thunder have four players who are indisputably better than the Kings’ best player, who is either Zach Randolph, Bogdan Bogdanovic, or Buddy Hield. It’s even more confusing because the Thunder’s “Trio…
Read MoreSteven Adams 22 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2018)
OKC’s big three had a relatively efficient scoring night by their standards, with each member putting in more than twenty points. Steven “The Big Kiwi” Adams put in his 22 points on a combination of dunks, push shots, and uncontainable hustling for the rebounds of his own missed free throws, but even with four players…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 16 Points Full Highlights (2/11/2018)
Astute viewers may notice that this video abruptly ends after the conclusion of the second quarter. That is not an error. Alex Abrines scored 16 points in the first half, then decided he was done for the night, not done as in literally not playing, but done as in not going to shoot to score…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 14 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
I understand that the “start Alex Abrines” experiment didn’t go so well earlier in the season, but the Thunder won two out of the five games where he got the start, so it’s not like it was the most disastrous thing either. Now the Thunder have started Terrance Ferguson for the last four games, and…

Sometimes I wonder who really is the star on the Thunder and who are the overpaid big-ego roleplayers. I think listing the statlines of all the starters might elucidate matters somewhat. Paul “Really Prefers LA” George: 15 points, 4-of-16 shooting Russell “Got the Triple-Double so Who Cares” Westbrook: 7-of-21 shooting, 14 ballhog assists, 10 statpad…
Read MoreJerami Grant 18 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2018)
Okay, my heart rate has returned to normal, and I can feel all of my left arm and like 75 percent of my right one. I think it was this Jerami Grant video that did it; he had a good game, but was it EXCITING? Not at all. My hype from this game began diminishing…
Read MoreSteven Adams 20 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2018)
Steven Adams is currently first in the league in total offensive rebounds, seven ahead of Andre Drummond (236 vs. 229). However, Adams is only fifteenth in total rebounds, and is in exactly 100th place league-wide in defensive rebounds (for reference, Terry Rozier has more defensive rebounds than Adams does). It’s well-known that the Thunder strategy…
Read MoreSteven Adams 25 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)
Would the 1995-96 72-win Chicago Bulls have gone undefeated if they had present-day Steven Adams as their center instead of Luc Longley? This is a question that has interested me for a few weeks now, so let’s take a deep dive into the realm of factuality and extract the answer from those shadowy depths. Fact:…
Read MoreSteven Adams 21 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/17/2018)
I’m going to list the statlines of the Thunder starters and you tell me who you think is the real MVP of the team and who is overrated bum trash: -Paul “Lies to the People of Oklahoma About Liking it There” George: 13 points, 5 of 14 shooting. -Russell “Statpadsell Chuckbrook” Westbrook: 19 points, 8…
