Reggie, Serge, Thabo, Lamb, & Adams all had a nice game.
Reggie didn't have a turnover & made all his 3s
Thabo & Lamb did a great job of getting to the line & combined to go 15-16. Easy points is what we need until Russy gets back.
That's the kind of game Serge has to have 17 & 8 with a couple blocks. That should be his goal.
Adams

Westbrook returns to practice ...

And what Westbrook did, apparently left Reggie Jackson impressed.
“Oh, man. Russell today…” Jackson said when asked how Westbrook looked, cracking a sly smile. “It’s actually funny. My brother and his brother talk a little before games. His brother told mine that Russell’s probably bouncing better than ever. I had to see it to believe it. One of the dunks (today), he went up and looked like the old Russell, plus some, head at the rim. We’ll be happy when he gets back fully healthy, but it’s good to see him with a smile on his face, being about the team, bouncing back and happy to be back on the court.”

Hash got suspended for the first game of the season. Adams 
might get some actual minutes in game 1.
Perk is back tonight. KD, Nick, & Fisher are all out resting.
Should be interesting to see if Serge, Reggie, & Lamb can make it a decent game
Should also be interesting to see how Adams deals with Gortat since it's the best center he has played in the preseason.

Adams is a beast. Hash might be done as the backup, which considering Brooks & playing rookies is all I can ask for. I like Hash & what he has done since getting here but Adams
Game was closer than I expected with who we had out there. Lamb still struggling to score but he keeps doing everything else so I don't know how to feel. Reggie & them 3s last game he hits all of them this one he made 1-6. Whole team has been ass from 3 except KD & Gomes (don't know why he didn't play).

Good game finally for Lamb, had 12 in the first half , set for almost all of the 3rd quarter, & scored 10 in the 4th. If he can do half of that during the season I'll be happy.
Adams is all I've wanted for years now. A center that hustles & can finish after the catch. There was one point last night where he posted up got the ball & turned into a hook shot that he made. He ran down the court fought for position with Boozer & stole the ball on the pass to Boozer. I can't explain how that feels to see as a Thunder fan that the center isn't being worthless & is playing hard out there. He can't do anything but get better with experience & coaching from Collison & even Perk.
Roberson is going to be the guy who spends a ton of time in Tulsa this year. Their serious about him playing SG & he can't do anything offensivly. I guess he is going to be developed into the Thabo/Liggins role hopefully so he is going to need to figure out a 3pt shot.
They must have faith in PJ3 working out at SF behind KD if that's not where their trying to develop Roberson. PJ3 was okay in preseason but I'm still not sure with him. He can help cause problems on matchups but he also can be a problem against matchups, since he is more athletic than most PFs but he isn't strong enough to really battle with them.
