The rookies had a rough night last night

As impressive as Dylan Harper was he had 18 points on 17 shots. Not super efficient.

Ajay/Dub/Cason and JWill combined to go 11/38 from the field (29%} and 2-13 from 3 (15%). Have to think that'll just get better.

I know the Thunder way is to downplay the importance of every individual game but it would be really nice to kick the Spurs at their place in front of a national audience when we're fully healthy finally.

It will be interesting to see how OKC handles the rotation tonight. With everyone healthy it will def look different than the preseason.Starters prob Shai/Caso/Dub/Chet/IH then Ajay/McCain/Caruso/Kenrich/JWill Also have Mara/Stirtz. Spurs are starting small. Will be interesting

NBA twitter is acting like the Thunder are going to have to trade their best players. Hate to break it to you but that's not happening: Some 2nd tier guys will be moved down the road but OKC is just getting going.

I have serious doubts that Cason being the starting 2 was ever a part of these negotiations. Sam is not going to put his coach in that position. That's just not how he operates. Mark will always do what he thinks is best for the team and Sam wouldn't have it any other way.

So it seems like even out to 28-29 there is a path to keeping Shai/Dub/Chet/Ajay/Cason/Jwill/Stirtz/Mara which would still be potentially 8 really good players deep plus Sorber plus whoever okc picks in the next couple drafts and not have a crazy tax bill. Thats good!

If Cason makes 27.8 mill next yr which is the total divided by 5 and I'm guessing it starts lower that's 15.8% of next years cap. Lu's first year of his last contract he made 12.35% of the cap. If the first year is $25 mill that would be 14.2%. It's in the Dort range.

1 more day for the Cason deal to get done. Interesting he didn't play Thursday and wasn't listed as being injured. If anything were to happen with him trade wise I don't think would happen until next summer. He's too important.

Most of the pre-season offensive problems come down to guys shooting what they usually do I think. Ajay shot 11% from 3 and 27% overall. Cason 22% from 3 and 33% overall and Dub shot 25% from 3. Also not Chet and Jwill. They'll get it figured out.

3rd game in 4 nights for the rookies and all 3 games were in different cities. They obv didnt do that in college so they get a pass for tonight. I know we are a vet team who are missing important guys but the offense has not looked good in the preseason. Hopefully we're ready.

I think as much as Mara was helpful last night, he had the best +/- but when he came in the first time when they were struggling McCain also came in and the shooting opened things up as much as anything.

Mara is doing really well but he still has so much to learn. He is still not a physical rebounder. Zubac had 13 points and 13 rebounds in 18 min mostly from just owning the paint. Mara still has to figure that out. He also is passable defensively but he can get so much better.
