Steven Adams was busy twanging on his bass, clad in a neon-blue bodysuit, with a teaseled wig on his head. Kendrick Perkins lay slumped over his drum kit, fast asleep. They were waiting for Jeremy Lamb so they could begin practice, and he was never late. Just as Steven was packing up his equipment to…

Jeremy Lamb Career High 24 Points/1 Huge Slam Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
Jeremy Lamb is getting some serious minutes for the first time in his career, and, predictably, he has regressed from his promising sophomore season. Without Westbrick or Durcan’t around to take all the shots, Lamb has been roughly forced into a “primary offensive weapon” role that he isn’t ready for. He might get there in…
Read MoreAnthony Morrow 28 Points Full Highlights (11/12/2014)
I made a prediction before the season started that’s looking pretty good right now. Just call me Nostrabuckus. I predicted that Anthony Morrow would be the Thunder’s second-leading scorer with Durant out. I say only “pretty good” because it turns out that he’s their leading PPG scorer, being not content with merely second place. He…
Read MoreJeremy Lamb 17 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
Jeremy Lamb is the Thunder’s prize for giving up on James Harden, but while he has been decent at times his minutes and production have not been consistent. Now is the time for him to prove his efficacy. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are not currently hogging all the shots, giving Jeremy and others opportunity…
Read MoreSteven Adams 13 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/5/2014)
Steven Adams is from New Zealand. To celebrate his heritage, I have compiled a list of all known facts about New Zealand: -It’s newer than Old Zealand -The events described in J.R.R. Tolkien’s historical manuscript “The Lord of the Rings” took place there -People there are called Kiwis, but they aren’t green, round, and fuzzy…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 25 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
The Thunder injury situation has bypassed “ludicrous” and has now ventured into “Chris Kaman laying supine on bench chairs” territory. Do you hear that? It’s the siren call of Washington DC, beckoning to Kevin Durant. Even without the reigning MVP and scoring champ, the Thunder are now showcasing their true depth. Which is Serge Ibaka,…
Read MoreSebastian Telfair 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (11/3/2014)
Sebastian Telfair is another one of those straight-outta-high-school prospects that sort of flubbed once arriving in the NBA. He has insane speed, but was never able score or pass at a high-enough level to cut it as a starter. If people had been making YouTube mixtapes when this dude was tearing up New York, probably…
Read MorePerry Jones III 20 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2014)
Remember last year, when Timberwolves fans were complaining endlessly about injuries to their team preventing them from being playoff-bound? Yeah. After this, I don’t think any fanbase can complain. Any future spate of injuries will look like a pastry puff parade compared to the current state of the Thunder. I don’t mind at all, though….
Read MoreLance Thomas 14 Points Thunder Debut Full Highlights (10/29/2014)
Ancient Assyrians and Parthians understood the advantage that could be gained in warfare by arming their mounted units with spears, or “lances”. Their insights into the art of war motivated the legendary Greek and Roman empires to try a similar tactic in combat, and Alexander the Great’s elite “Companion Cavalry” wreaked havoc on Persian and…
Read MoreKevin Durant All 146 Dunks Full Highlights (2013-14 MVP Season Dunkilation)
Kevin Durant, unhappy with the way his season had ended, was going to pay LeBron a visit. Not a pleasant visit it would be, for the guest that LeBron would be greeting was no longer fully human. Floating above the city of Miami, silent as a whisper, Kevin could go as fast or slow as…
