Oklahoma City Thunder slam broadcaster for ‘cotton-picking’ comment

It means that after a year when the Western Conference brought on a series of nervous breakdowns because of close losses and tiebreakers, the Thunder will play the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs, which begin this weekend.

Though the Jazz pummeled the Warriors Tuesday night, the Warriors did defeat the Thunder 111-107 on Tuesday, April 3 in Oklahoma City without the services of Curry or Andre Iguodala.

New Zealand centre Adams scored 12 points and pulled down seven rebounds – both slightly down on his regular season average – as the Thunder prevailed 116-108 at home.

“I think it’s high”, said Adams of the Thunder’s confidence. Watch Thunder vs Jazz live streaming online with or without cable, or on TNT cable TV for what could be the most exciting first round series of them all.

“The confidence comes from that, more than anything”. His ability to score and be a menace on the defensive end of the court make him a valuable piece for the Thunder, who are seeking to go up 2-0 against the Jazz in the series. He mentioned multiple times they have to be better in Game 2.

After a slow start in OKC after coming from in in a summer trade, George saw his numbers drop, although he did average 21.7 points Anthony had the lowest numbers of his 15-year career, but still averaged 16.2 points per game, his first time under 20 per game.

This has been the case thanks to the impeccable athleticism of reigning MVP Russell Westbrook, the two-way play of Paul George, and a late addition in the form of an always-sprinting Corey Brewer.

Several respected National Basketball Association pundits, including ESPN’s Zach Lowe, have him ranked just behind former OKC team-mate Victor Oladipo in the running for the league’s Most Improved Player award. After watching Russell Westbrook turn a steal into points with a sweet assist, Davis said, “Westbrook is out of his cotton pickin’ mind”. He’s among the league’s best offensive rebounders and screeners. After Grant’s two assists, he twice added his patented acrobatic layups, against the Utah’s Stifle Tower, 7-foot-1 Rudy Gobert. The 21-year-old shook off the pain and returned to the game, playing 35 minutes on the night. He was unconscious from downtown, going 8-11 from behind the line.

Utah’s Donovan Mitchell was out to prove that he should be named the Rookie of the Year. Ingles, Derrick Favors and Ricky Rubio round out a quality starting five.
