Oklahoma City did everything on the offensive end. Three players ended with 20+ points (Schroder, Gallinari, and SGA), and eight players scored double digits. But everyone can look up the stats, so rather than regurgitating those I figured I would do something a little more fun.
Below are a list of my random thoughts accumulated throughout the game. It’s not comprehensive this time, but I believe they detail an accurate recap of this game. Enjoy.
- Petition to give this team the “Lob City 2.0” — Does Mayor Holt approve these things? The Governor? Whoever does that please make it happen
- At what point do we start referring to “the bench” as “alternate starting lineup”? They are that good.
- Chris Paul leads the league in 1st quarter buzzer beaters. I don’t have the data to back this up it’s just something I feel in my heart.
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is making his layups increasingly difficult and I believe it is on purpose. Someone investigate this.
- Noel just dunks a lot now. That’s what is going to happen. Don’t try to fight it.
- Remember the Spider-Man with Toby Maguire when he sees everything in slow motion once he got his powers? That’s SGA when he drives. It’s the only explanation.
- Vince Carter played and scored a basket. That’s cool. It’s probably gonna be the last time we see him in OKC. That’s not cool
- OKC scored 104 points before the 4th quarter started. That’s cool. They ended with 140 points. That’s very cool.
OKC leaves tonight with a whooping 58% FG and 56% 3PT performance before heading to Minnesota. Until next time, THUNDER UP!!!
