No contest.

Thunder win by 18

105-87.

Nope

We're actually hanging in there a lil bit. Just a lil bit.

Drummond with his best game as a pro and it's only halftime.

Whatever happens though, don't play him more than maxiell, we need him to continue not playing defense or boxing out. Otherwise, our frontline might actually look Good, and we need to keep playing small ball.

9 mins so far.

edit...or was it 9pts in 8 mins?

Thunder win by 18

105-87.

This is gonna be epic.

Should grant me first ballot WTFD Hall of Fame entry.

If it ends up that way, you'll get my vote.

I WANT A FAWKIN BEER!

Drummond 9 points 7 mins.

Maxiell 0 points 11 mins.

Nah, let's keep playing max.

Ibaka is scoring at will on max. I'm sure the 6 inch height difference is a pure coincidence.

On the bright side, max is hustling really hard for his 0 points and 3 rebounds.

He made a heck of an effort to chase down that pass that went through his hands before he ultimately lost it out of bounds.

Frank rewards Drummond by sending him in early...for Monroe.

That will teach max to play like shit.

^ lol. Frustrating.

Were hanging in there.

OUCH! Drummond goes down,

Wow, Westbrook that was dirty. Shoved Andre to the floor after the foul.

Glad he's ok.

Elbow?

Monroe looks like he's checking in after the timeout. Could this be the moment?

Both on the floor.

FINALLY!

Special K was just saying what I thought...turned down too many good shots on that last possession.

Nice pass by Monroe to Drummond for a bunny. YES

That interior pass from Monroe to Drummond was beautiful.

And another pass from GMoney to Dre for a bunny.

The Drummond Monroe lineup is kicking ass!

Cut it from 12 to 3 in a couple mins.

Only down 5 after 3.

Win or lose, I'm happy with this game.

Frank won't be able to take this team off the floor now.

Monroe dominating on offense and Drummond changing the game in defense. This is how this team was meant to play.

Our bench is going to suck...or can we find a running group that won't need a big man or that Russian dood or some shit like that?

Monroe dribbled the ball way WAY too long there before he turned it over.

If i could make a lineup, I'd go with Knight, that rookie at the 2, Singler, Monroe and Dre.

Can't believe how bad regular TV is. DirecTV fuqed up my HD package and this sux watching games in regular definition. If you can call it definition at all.

Bynum with an awful, momentum killing turnover. Back down 8 again.

Our bench is going to suck...or can we find a running group that won't need a big man or that Russian dood or some shit like that?

The bench wasn't good because of Drummond to begin with. Nobody on the bench really passed him the ball.

You can play Kravitsov and just let him eat up space while singler and English and jerebko fire threes.

We aren't going to win this and even if Dre and Monroe's +/- isn't all that great, Frank needs to let them play together to get to know each other offensively and defensively. They played ball out there but if they get to know each other, it could awesomeness.

Eric mayors obliteration of will Bynum s the story behind this impending loss that will never get mentioned.

Bynum with another terrible pass. Turnover. Bucket. Down 12.

...and Bynum throws it away again.

We might lose this by 20.

Down 14.

Sivler lining...I get to see some rooks if we're down big.

About to be down 16.

Our chance to win the game left with Drummond.

Well, that's what I'd like to say, but Bynum has been so unforgivingly terrible, we'd be down the same amount if he had stayed in.

14/5/1 for Dre...so far. Also a steal, iinm.

Damn, Monroe is fast.

Whatever Monroe's career dunk total is, he's doubled it tonight.

41... in the open court. ...dribbling.

Drummond with a sick and-1 on ibaka.

Another good play by Dre.

Drummond is straight up overpowering ibaka.

FRANK...PLAY DRUMMOND WITH MONROE YOU DIPSHIT! FROM NOW ON!

Wow...an actual improvement in talent on the floor by inserting Stuckey. Hlly shit. LMMFAO!

Drummond is frustrating the shit out of perkins and ibaka. Have to wonder how this game would look if he started.

Drummond breaks 20.

Special K..."he's learning things about himself" I think he knew Gregory. I think the fans knew too, its you fuggin announcers and the coach that are Johnny come latelys.

Wish I could watch but I kinda don't. Been without cable for a few weeks now. Maybe tomorrow I'll get shit back, I know y'all are dying to hear my analysis.

^ sux. Hope you get it soon.

We lost, but at least there's a glimpse of a bright future.

Tay is missing those baby hooks that we counted on for so many years. I like Singler. I don't like Stuckey or Bynum. We need a 2. Just thought about Ben Gordon and threw up a lil bit. We need a 2.

Oh, and the NBA's worst rebounding team Out rebounded the thunder by 3.

^ sux. Hope you get it soon.

Me too, but dood, you are really stepping up here. Great job.

Stuckey is fine for now. He's not terrible, though he has played like it before today.

Drummond played great, and the Monroe/Drummond pairing was fun to watch. Frank's going to have to start them soon.

I'd trade Jerebko and Middleton to the Pacers for Hansbrough and Pendergraph in a stone-cold second, and so would the Pacers.

We don't want Hansbrough.

I think they would be far more interested in prince and maxiel anyway.

Hansbrough's an expiring contract. Who cares where he plays? And with Monroe and Drummond starting, and Singler playing well, Jerebko doesn't fit with this team. And considering it'd give the Pistons more money next summer, Jerebko's a prime target to trade for an expiring deal.

We don't need the extra $4 mil. We're just going to spend it on someone who will cost just as much and be just as good. We have enough cap safe already.

If we deal jerebko, fine. But it better be for something better than $4 mil in cap space. A draft pick. Backup PG, something.

And by the way, KStat indirectly brought up another big need for this Pistons team, whether it's this season or next summer: another point guard. Ideally, one good enough to take the controls when Knight struggles. Bynum plays out of necessity (there's literally no one else), not because he deserves to.

Frank didn't play bynum last season. Even he realizes that.

@ Pistons

Blaha..."Tay with some contact but still takes the deuce"

lolooloolollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllsssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzllololo lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlasdofalsdkasolzxolaloll

that cracked me up.

Hopefully I'll be getting my shit back in the next couple days. Don't count on any Ws until I do.

I like this here Kyle Singler.

#67...me too bro. Wondered why you've been viewing so many movies lately. Actually its that time of year. I'm going to do the Block Buster thing though...or one of those.

Was in a big movie kick even before I lost my shit. I'm only getting my shit back just to watch "the games." Pretty much DONE with TV otherwise.

Might get a stream. Stay tuned!!!!

Sports is the only thing I watch on TV.

We're up 10ish with a lil bit left in the 3rd.

UPSET ALERT.

I jinxed them.

Don't look now, but OKC is within 4.

Blaha knows that it's a wrap.

Once Glan's Sonics start rolling there's no stopping them.

Seems like everything "we" throw up at the rim is getting swatted.

Tie ball game.

Um, this is going to be one of those 7-9 point 4th quarter outputs for the 'stons, isn't it? This is getting broots.

We were playing pretty good, till the start of the 4th. Good teams, like the Sonics, turn it up a notch in the 4th.

Wow

The Sonics were NOT built by an 8 year old.

Lol, Kelser: "Wow."

He loves stealing Taheau's Thunder (ha!)

This board is making me sad now. Lagging like a MOFUCKA!

Jeebus.

I have to bale...as in leave...too much lag bro.

Wanna take this to the Twitter?

Wanna take this to the Twitter?

I'm cracking my own ass up tonight.

HERE COME THE PISTONS, LEAD BY RODNEY STUCKEY!!

OUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR, LOL!! RIGHT, GUYS?

another close game... another loss.... another opportunity to play the kids wasted.

We play Tayshaun damn near 40 minutes? WHY?

And for the love of all that is mighty in the universe (God, Allah, Budda, the Mouse) can we please play Andre Drummond 20 minutes every game?

Looking around the web for draft pick info and found this for our Thunder:

2013 first round draft pick from Dallas
Dallas' own 2013 first round draft pick to Oklahoma City via the L.A. Lakers and Houston ( top 20 protected in 2013, top 20 protected in 2014, top 20 protected in 2015, top 20 protected in 2016, top 20 protected in 2017 and unprotected in the 2018 Draft). [Dallas - L.A. Lakers, 12/11/2011 and then Houston-L.A. Lakers, 3/15/2012 and then Houston-Oklahoma City, 10/27/2012]

2013 first round draft pick from Toronto
Toronto's own 2013 1st round pick to Oklahoma City via Houston (Top-3 Protected and 15-30 Protected in the 2013 Draft, top-2 protected and 15-30 protected in 2014, top-2 protected and 15-30 protected in 2015, top-1 Protected and 15-30 protected in 2016, top-1 protected and 15-30 Protected in 2017 and unprotected in the 2018 Draft.

Very interesting protection on that Toronto pick
