Pick & Roll Kings: A Short List of Top NBA Duos in 2018-2019

One of the most fundamental plays in basketball is the pick and roll. Although it is simple, it is also effective. As a Houston resident, there is no play that got me more hyped watching the Rockets than James Harden slipping a bounce pass between his legs to Clint Capela, leaping to the rim to […]

Russell Westbrook is Progressing in Practice

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) has moved to controllable contact in practice. He isn't fully practicing, but this is a step in the right direction. Head coach Billy Donovan didn't say whether or not Westbrook would be ready for the season opener. Westbrook is coming off arthroscopic knee surgery, but that shouldn't […]

Dennis Schroder Has A Rough Night

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder went cold in Tuesday’s preseason win versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The former Hawks guard went just 2-for-10 on the night, adding three rebounds and an assist.

Deonte Burton Scores 16 Points Off The Bench

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Deonte Burton scored 16 points off the bench in Tuesday’s preseason win over the Bucks.

Diallo could […]

Paul George Comes Out Firing Tuesday

Without Russell Westbrook on the floor, George put up 26 points in just 19 minutes on the floor. He also grabbed four boards, dished out one assist, one steal, and a block. George has […]

Steven Adams Narrowly Misses Another Double-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams was close to his third consecutive double-double on Sunday, managing eight points and nine rebounds against the Hawks. He had averaged 15.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in the first two preseason outings, so it was a bit of a letdown that he missed the DD this time, […]

Paul George Drops 22 Points On Hawks With Six Steals

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George had a busy night at both ends Sunday against Atlanta, finishing with 22 points in 25 minutes and snatching six steals.

Nerlens Noel Blocks Four Shots Versus Timberwolves

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Nerlens Noel blocked four shots in Friday's win over the Timberwolves. He also added 12 points with nine rebounds and two assists coming off the bench.

Dennis Schroder Fills Stat Sheet In Friday's Win

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder put up 12 points with six assists and two rebounds in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Paul George Scores 28 Points On Friday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George scored 28 points with five rebounds and four assists versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. This was his first preseason game and he didn't look rusty out on the court. He was the focal point of the offense with Russell Westbrook still on the shelf. He will have a big […]

Jerami Grant Struggles In Preseason Play

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant had a rough night against the Pistons, finishing with only seven points on 1-for-9 shooting from the field. Though he saw more minutes than forward Patrick Patterson, the 24-year-old out of Syracuse failed to make an impact. With the departure of forward Carmelo Anthony, Grant and Patterson will battle […]

Terrance Ferguson Plays 34 Minutes Against Detroit

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson got the start against the Pistons on Wednesday, finishing the night with only six points. With guard Dennis Schroder and center Steven Adams running the show offensively, the sophomore was relegated to a role as a bystander in this one. He did show flashes of promise last year in […]

Patrick Patterson Gets The Start Against Pistons

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Patrick Patterson scored only seven points against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. Patterson wasn't very active, going only 2-for-4 from the field and 1-for-2 from deep.

Steven Adams Scores 17 Points Against Detroit

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams scored 17 points on 5-for-16 shooting against the Pistons on Wednesday night. Adams played 26 minutes and was also involved on the glass by pulling down 12 boards which included nine offensive rebounds.

Dennis Schroder Leads Thunder In Scroing

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder got the start during Wednesday's preseason loss to the Pistons. The former Hawk played 27 minutes and scored 21 points on 5-for-16 shooting from the field including going a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe.
