It's not too late for this game to end in a tie.

Bears drive down and turn the ball over inside the 5. Dobbs scrambles out the back of the endzone for a safety. Bears manage to kick a FG as time expires to send it into OT, where neither team scores.

Thank God there's no Manningcast tonight. Peyton might have broken down in tears on live TV watching these offenses.

Fields throws screen passes good as fuck.

Thunder wouldn't be good with this roster, but we wouldn't be awful and would be better than the vast majority of teams with this restriction.

Chet, Jdub, Cason, Kenny isn't bad. I don't think Tre Mann would be starting there though.

it's between guys like Tatum/Luka/Embiid/Booker/SGA

There should be very little pressure for a ring on SGA this year. OKC is still a really young team and this is the first year we've even been trying to compete after the rebuild.

If we make the playoffs and are competitive in a 7 game series it's a good year.

This is why teams play prevent defense. Lions moved down the field consistently but not fast enough.

Can't win an NFL game with a 3-0 turnover margin.

What's the record for most FGs without a TD? Gotta be close if they kick another one for the lead.

"Shai is not a bad defender" lol

Doubt you'd ever get more than 10-12 if both teams were healthy.

If you had something like Miami having both Tua and Tyreek injured in the 4th quarter of the AFCCG but holding on to win it, you might see a higher spread.

Kawhi only signed with the Clippers because of PG, so its only a small/moderate loss for them, mostly due to injuries. If they had stayed healthy it would be an okay trade for them. That's also assuming SGA develops the same, which is far from guaranteed as a clear #2/#3 on a team trying to contend instead of a development-focused team like OKC has been the last few years.

For OKC, this was obviously a huge win. We got an all star player who will be hitting his prime right as we are ready to start contending, plus a bunch if picks to help surround him with talent. Just SGA and Jdub is a win, even if none of the other picks pan out.

TLDR: The trade was a win-win, with the Thunder getting a huge win and the Clippers getting a small win that didn't quite pay out due to injury.
