Erik Horne (Oklahoman) with an update on Andre Roberson's injuries"Another re-evaluation date is coming up for Andre Roberson. In early October, Roberson suffered a setback in his recovery after a left knee surgery. The Thunder then said that Roberson would be reassessed in two months. Donovan said that Roberson was able to participate in scripted scenarios to five men in which he could run with the team, but without contact exercise. With respect to Roberson's re-evaluation date, Donovan was not specific, he said, "It will take time for that.

Maddie Lee (Oklahoman) on the dual nature of Steven Adams"He is still crossing the tunnel and the corridor leading to the cloakroom. So it took a moment for him to realize that someone called him. He returned, jogged along the tunnel and found the family who had tried to call him. It was the birthday of the 3 year old girl and they leaned it on the separator to take a picture with Adams. He was still dominating her, and as her parents retreated to take the picture, her face tensed as if she were about to cry. "I do not blame her," Adams offered as her parents tried to comfort her. It's Adams: just as sweet, clumsy and intimidating. Now in his sixth season in the NBA, Adams has become a first-rate defensive center. His offensive numbers are also impressive. Adams is averaging 15.5 points and 10.5 rebounds. With this success, the 25-year-old who finishes half of his interviews saying "words, words, words" has become a mentor. "I think his words are gold," rookie center Tyler Davis told Blue Media Day last month. "… All that he says, no matter what it is, I listen to it and take it seriously."
Cody Taylor (Thunder Wire) on Brian Windhorst's comments about Russell Westbrook / Billy DonovanESPN reporter Royce Young recounted the events on Saturday night between the game and Westbrook's shot on the field after Windhorst gave us a glimpse of the league scouts. "So here's the thing about Westbrook. You talk to scouts, they will tell you that, for the most part, Westbrook has no interest in anything that Billy Donovan has to say offensive on the bench. I'm not saying that what they set up on time is not the case, but they will say that Donovan does not even bother to make calls to the game and that Westbrook goes into this mode where he's just going to do what he's going to do. to do, there is really nothing that can be done. "
John Schuhmann (NBA.com) has the fifth in his thunder ranking: "While Russell Westbrook was coming back from a six-game absence last week, the Thunder have recorded some great numbers (over 28 points for 100 possessions in 73 minutes) with Westbrook and Dennis Schroder together. Schroder lost 32 points, a high in Wednesday's season, and (with Hamidou Diallo injured in the ankle), OKC started and finished his win on Charlotte on Friday with both ground guards. But Schroder was back on the bench to start his match against Denver on Saturday, and new starter Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot lost ten points in a seven-point loss. After a night out of twelve against the Nuggets, Westbrook is 9 points out of 51 (18%) and a 62% record in the free throw line.
Zach Harper (Athletic) has OKC fourth in power standings"We still see a significant advantage with Westbrook on the ground as opposed to of course because there is one. Westbrook is a ridiculously important player in the NBA. The big key is not that thunder has made this gap less dramatic. The big key is that the Thunder had a positive net score when Westbrook did not play. Considering he missed six consecutive games and the Thunder won 5-1, it's a gigantic improvement over the need of the most valuable former player of the last two seasons. Dennis Schroder continues to be a huge pickup by Sam Presti. If that keeps Westbrook energy for the playoffs and the Thunder can recover some of its injured wings, they will look great and rest for April and May. "
Shane Ryan (Golf Digest) on the brutal attrition war of the Western Conference: "The ranking is remarkable to watch. The Clippers and Thunder are technically in "first place" with 12-6, but the seventh ranked team, the Lakers, has only one game behind on 11-7. The cluster is real. Meanwhile, the 13-7 warriors confirm the old adage that it's never easy to win a championship in professional sports, regardless of the quality of a team. It's easy to forget with the warriors, who sometimes look so dominant that you can confuse their greatness with inevitability. Their first title, in 2015, led them 2-1 against the Cavs in the final with only one defeat in OT thus avoiding an impossible 0-3 deficit. The next season, their best, is actually over with the famous defeat against LeBron in the final. And although the title race in 2017 offered a record of 16-1 in excellence, last year's championship title was heavily strangled by Houston, who had a 3-2 lead in the finals of the West conference and 17 points in the sixth game, before losing ground.
