There is no reason to discuss anything about or anyone on the Thunder unless it is as it relates to Russell Westbrook’s quest to average a triple-double. Has there ever been a team where one player so thoroughly dominates his team’s narrative? Even Jordan had Pippen. Westbrook has… Oladipo? And Doug “Dougie McThunderBuckets” McDermott. McDermott…

Andre Roberson Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2017)
Andre Roberson almost got traded to the Bulls in that big deal between them and the Thunder. Apparently Chicago wanted him? And so did Oklahoma City? That blows my mind, because I don’t care about defense, and he offers basically nothing on the other side of the basketball. I just completely fail to see how…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 19 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2017)
There is nothing more cringeworthy (besides the word “cringeworthy” itself) than NBA commentators celebrating made baskets by international players with foreign-language commentary/exaggerated accents. Nothing. It’s horrible. Every single time. The Nuggets dudes are the worst about this, but other commentators do it to. Please stop. I’m begging you. “Sí sí sí sí señor!” wails the…
Read MoreSteven Adams 20 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Surgeon General’s Warning: this video only has one dunk in it, and it’s a really soft one where Adams doesn’t even grab the rim. He just puts the ball over the ring and drops it through. If we don’t count that one (and it really shouldn’t count since his hand never touched the rim), Steven…
Read MoreCameron Payne 15 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Cameron Payne showed some stuff last year. Not a whole ton of stuff, but some stuff. I don’t know if Thunder fans expected that, but I didn’t, and I was impressed. So impressed that I don’t think I even called him a bust a single time over all my descriptions. And that’s saying a lot:…
Read MoreJoffrey Lauvergne 16 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (2/3/2017)
Do the Thunder even really need Enes Kanter? They can get 70% of the production and 0% of the forearm-destroying furniture attacks from the team’s resident Frenchman and stinky-cheese lover Joffrey Lauvergne. Lauvergne can shoot midrange jumpers just like Kanter does, but the thing is, he doesn’t NEED to, because he can step out behind…
Read MoreSteven Adams 20 Points/5 Dunks/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/25/2017)
Steven Adams sat in the locker room and stared at his shoes, which were sitting in his duffel bag. He knew there was some special way to put them on, something to do with the strings that were on them, but he couldn’t remember what. His brain felt cloudy and every time he felt close…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 22 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2017)
“Hey Russ, I having big favor to ask you,” Enes Kanter told his teammate immediately after his team’s loss to the Warriors. He had to raise his voice to make himself heard over the continued cheering of the home fans. “It very important.” “Is this about that cheerleader from Utah that you can’t shut up…
Read MoreAlex Abrines 13 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2017)
Alex Abrines might be a top ten rookie this year. That’s pretty crazy when you think about it but then it actually becomes less crazy the more you think about it because you remember how bad this last draft class was. Here’s a complete list of rookie’s who have been undoubtedly better than Abrines this…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 29 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2017)
Enes Kanter has been providing some seriously good production for the Thunder and, depending on how concussion-y Steven Adams’ concussion-like symptoms are, he might be in line to do even better. Per 36 averages are always iffy for bench players like Kanter, but I think he’d be able to maintain them for at least a…
