Zach Lowe (ESPN) has the Thunder 15th on his list of must-watch teams in 2018-19: “They tank the minutia category. The logo belongs on an off-brand laundry detergent. The court is blah. Three of the uniforms are horrific. The broadcast radiates a screeching us-against-everyone homerism — something I expect to continue even with a new play-by-play announcer. But you can’t deny the visceral thrill of Russell Westbrook flying down court, unconcerned with his bodily safety or those three defenders between him and the basket. Paul George is, of course, a boss. There is a delightful dissonance between the softness of Steven Adams’ floater and his titanium body.
Tuesday Bolts: 10.2.18
