Steven Adams takes it on the chin as Oklahoma City Thunder hit struggle street. The Thunder's struggles reached a nadir on Wednesday (NZT) when they went down 126-121 at home to the Portland Trail Blazers to slump to their fourth straight defeat. "It's our communication, bro, that's our biggest thing," Adams told reporters...

After a fourth straight loss, Wednesday’s practice for the OKC Thunder was critical in preparing for San Antonio Spurs game. Today the media talked to three OKC Thunder representatives. Billy Donovan Donovan – Defensive Awareness: Defense was top of mind for Donovan who said the squad need to have better awareness especially in transition. Re:...

The OKC Thunder are back home and looking to right the ship against the Portland Trail Blazers. The OKC Thunder are on a three game losing streak and Thunder fans and basketball minds are curious as to what happened. Or maybe about how the OKC Thunder have an offensive rating of 100 .4 in...

Starting unit struggles mightily On a night where Russell Westbrook went for 45 points on 12-36 from the field, the rest of the Thunder’s starting lineup didn’t do their part. The quartet of Alex Abrines, Steven Adams, Andre Roberson, and Domantas Sabonis combined for a grand total of 12 points, 10 rebounds and...

Oklahoma City Thunder Zigs While The NBA Zags.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Analyzing Trade For Doug McDermott, Taj Gibson. Here’s a look at what the trades mean for their roster. It was between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bulls. Evaluating the Thunder’s Rotation With Gibson on the Thunder’s roster, it gives them another big man for point guard Russell Westbrook to facilitate to. McDermott...

The OKC Thunder used a balanced attack to defeat the young Los Angeles Lakers team in their first game back after the All-Star break. Gibson scored 12 points on 6-13 shooting with four rebounds. McDermott, who like Gibson, came off the bench, added 8 points on 3-8 shooting and four rebounds. Russell Westbrook spearheaded the...

When the Oklahoma City Thunder built a three-games-to-one lead over the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals last May, it looked like Thunder General Manager Sam Presti’s meticulous, multiyear plan was about to pay off in the biggest way. More importantly, most of those players were young, allowing them to grow...

OKLAHOMA CITY — It’s here. The day has arrived. The time has come. Kevin Durant is back...

An Unheralded Thunder Rookie Destroyed Tristan Thompson With A Vicious Dunk. The Oklahoma City Thunder are, without question, Russell Westbrook’s team. Beyond that, the Thunder employ intriguing veterans with Steven Adams, Victor Oladipo and the injured Enes Kanter, as well as a 2016 lottery pick in Domantas Sabonis. However, none of those (much) more famous...

Despite the day-long dialogue on the ethics of sitting star players–a report saying that LeBron James, Kyrie...

Victor Oladipo Is Not Kevin Durant And That’s OK. When Durant delivered the fatal blow, leaving only Westbrook, the future and direction of the Thunder franchise was in question. Since then, Westbrook, Oladipo and Steven Adams have all signed extensions to stay with Oklahoma City through at least 2017-18. There was so much unknown with...

Both players must be more than they are now for the Thunder to become who they want to be. Will Russell Westbrook be traded? Who will be his sidekick(s)? How will the Thunder improve with no lottery picks? Simply stated, the future of the OKC Thunder is in the hands of Victor Oladipo and Steven Adams. When...

It may seem impossible given that the Oklahoma City Thunder have a six game lead and Russell Westbrook, but let’s not kid ourselves, these are the OKC Thunder. The Thunder could survive without one or the other because they still had Westbrook on the floor with the other one. They are all against playoff...

Oklahoma City will be playing on the back end of a double-header after losing to the San Antonio Spurs last night. The Bulls enter OKC 5-7 in their last 12 games which includes a 15-point loss to the Thunder in Chicago. Andre Roberson’s lockdown defense was too much for an ill Jimmy Butler to...

It didn’t stay that way for all 48 minutes, but in the opening 10 minutes, the Thunder pushed the pace in transition, found open teammates and got shots up near the rim. “I believe we can,” guard Andre Roberson stated. Those are areas we know we have to continue to get better at and...

OKC Thunder will look to Steven Adams after Enes Kanter fractures forearm. Kanter, the Thunder's second-highest paid player at US$17.1 million a season, is averaging 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds in nearly 22 minutes off the bench this season for the Thunder, and provides the main scoring thrust among the second unit. Adams is...

Once again on Monday the Thunder dominated one of the most crucial aspects of the game – transition.

Russell Westbrook's scoring spree not enough to carry the Thunder. Monday night's loss dropped the Thunder to 5-7 when Russell Westbrook takes 25 or more shot attempts.

Thunder vs. New Orleans Pelicans Game Recap – Dec. 4, 2016. Russell Westbrook dove on the ground for a loose ball in the Thunder’s defensive half.

Rajakovic’s training style to help Adams improve his free throw shooting has been, well, unorthodox. “It’s working out well.” Massive leaps forward, like Adams’ free throw shooting, are rare, but the Thunder can make those incremental steps each night it takes the floor. “They’re terrific in the backcourt with (Bradley) Beal and (John) Wall...
