The OKC Thunder laid a big fat egg on Tuesday night, their second straight no-show performance. For those who insist on trading Andre Roberson, Oklahoma City has allowed an average of 121.4 points in their last five games with him sitting. They are getting mauled in the paint, hammered in pick and roll sets and continue to ball watch while opposing players cut to the basket. With Dre set to miss his sixth straight game, the match-up with the Minnesota Timberwolves couldn’t come at a worse time.
Emergence of Jimmy Butler
The Wolves currently lead the season series 2-1 with games decided by a total of nine points.
