I don't think OKC fans should be blaming anyone for JDub's injury. The Clippers were just playing hard. They weren't trying to hurt anyone. The refs were also doing their best. It was just a freak accident. Unfortunately these things happen.
I have to say I am surprised by how bothered by this injury I am. I'm still sitting here in shock. It obv sucks for the Thunder but I mostly just feel bad for him. So sad.
Okc is bad about forcing shots on fast breaks when the defender is in good position. Feels like that rarely works out well for them.
OKC has a defensive rating of 95.9 through 2 games and they've played the teams with the first best offensive rating from last year and the third best offensive rating from last year so far.
Chet with 17 rebounds (with NINE OFFENSIVE) and 4 blocks (again). He's doing the dirty work these first two games.

SGA on how much it means to beat the Spurs tonight: “I mean, not much to be honest with you. This game doesn't really mean that much. The first game of the season.”
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.

Victor Wembanyama tonight:
1/13 FG
0/4 3PT
4 turnovers
Silenced by the Big Oxtail
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
