The Thunder’s changes haven’t been jarring, and at times, they certainly can appear to be the same team they’ve been in the past.

Could Oklahoma City win the title?
“I also have something else to say, if you guys don’t mind. They stepped up their pressure, we turned the ball over and didn’t get the type of shots we wanted”. You find out about character when you go through tough times. If there is anyone amongst the presser ranks that is out to get you, he’s probably the sort of guy that lies about his high school athletic credits prior to criticizing “Kind of Blue” for having too many “horn parts”. It’s going to turn around. “We’re just a totally different team in my opinion”.
After being ejected Wednesday night against Dallas following skirmishes with J.J. Barea, Westbrook finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his fourth triple-double of the season. “We did a good job all game of making them shoot over hands”, Durant said. “And we didn’t turn the ball over”. The Heat already allow the third-fewest points in the National Basketball Association at 95.5.
Andrew Wiggins had 25 for the T-Wolves, who lost their ninth straight. If I hated someone I wouldn’t talk to them. You don’t have to watch nor listen to people like that, and they’re hardly representative of the media as a whole.
“I know I’m not necessarily talking to all you guys – all you guys with all these mics here”. I want it to bother you.
The Timberwolves’ offensive struggles started from the opening tip.
On Sunday morning at shootaround, before he gave a small speech about his relationship with the media, Kevin Durant was asked about the Oklahoma City Thunder’s last meeting with the Miami Heat.
-Almost losing to Sacramento at home in December and the Kings came back and defeated the Thunder by 12 points at the Peake in early January.
Oklahoma City led 57-43 at halftime.
Timberwolves: Minnesota missed its first 10 shots and didn’t score for the first 4:22.
“They made some big shots”. He got his 10th rebound with 7:02 left in the third quarter.
Oklahoma pounded the middle to the tune of 72 points in the paint. “The media” sometimes criticize the Thunder, just like “the media” sometimes criticize every team. They won nearly effortlessly too, by 20 points, according to the Thunder’s website.
However, Donovan stayed with his reserves and they rewarded him by pushing the lead to 26 points and closing the game out. “Our goal was to keep Russ and Kevin and all those starters on the bench”.
Do what you have to do to motivate yourself, Kevin Durant.

“Russell is a quarterback with a linebacker’s mentality”, Timberwolves interim coach Sam Mitchell said. “He heaved it and I had to go up and catch it. I had to make the play for him… To their credit, they try correct them.”… They don’t mean nothing, the critics. The predictions for the Warriors and Spurs are much more inaccurate and ungenerous: sure sounds like Thunder nitpicking to me!
