If Balogun is suspended for the Belgium game, here's our projected starter.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

Someone get Sorsby's lawyer. Get Balogun eligible.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

@ThunderFilmRoom He regressed badly from 3PT range this year. That part of his game was crucial to the postseason this year. Even if he maintained, we might still be having this conversation but maybe not. This is the part of pro sports that sucks.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

And Chet is fine. He clearly has a Spurs and Wemby problem. But let's not forget where OKC was before Chet. In the three years with Chet:

3 straight Number 1 seeds.
2 straight 60+ win seasons
2 straight WCFs
1 NBA championship

That's not nothing.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

And let's all pump the brakes with "blowing up the roster." OKC is one year removed from title. And one game away from playing for another. Are there weaknesses that need to be examined? Sure. Sam Presti and Coach Dag have earned my trust.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

Losing Game 7 in the WCF is disappointing. Ever since the NBA Cup, everyone knew it was coming down to this. Given all the injuries OKC faced this year, they had a great season.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

Something that stands out to me about the Spurs. Every one of their starters is a consistent scoring threat. All 5 are routinely in the double digits usually by the half or during the 3Q. Plus help from the bench.

I don't ever remember an OKC team like that.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

If SGA is going to be consistently double-teamed in the playoffs, we have to have at least two more guys who can consistently score and take the pressure off. JDub should be one if he stays healthy. It'd be nice to get a tall, strong big who can score to counter Wemby.

My hotel put me on the 13th floor. #PrayforNutty

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

Nobody should be surprised by this game. The Spurs didn't beat OKC four out of five times this season by accident. OKC just doesn't have a big that can wall off Wemby and keep him out of the paint when OKC is on offense.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

Incredible work. I don't have a favorite NFL team but these is great stuff.

D’OH! another schedule release video! @TheSimpsons

@jamesaydelott @GregMcwx Those were the days. Using a pay phone to call someone for NOWcasts.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

What a week. Haven't been home since Friday. Stayed in a hotel across the highway from work but I've been at the office basically the whole time except to sleep. Got home at 6pm today. No heat. Thermostat dead. New installation, still no heat. Yay.

One of my favorites ESPN clips ever.

[NBA Cobwebs @NBACobwebs]

January 21, 1993: American track & field icon and nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis sings the national anthem before a Bulls-Nets game in New Jersey.

The next day, ESPN’s Charley Steiner famously reacted to Lewis' performance on SportsCenter:

RED NOVEMBER IS COMPLETE! #BoomerSooner

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

@OK_Breakdown This is always reunion weekend for me and my college bros. Not only did the game screw us over, but we got screwed over by post-game dinner too! One of us bit down on a screw in an eggroll from the Chinese restaurant where we ordered delivery. Thankfully, no chipped teeth!

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

Some quarter-sized hail. Maybe a couple of half dollars or slightly bigger.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

I'm being worked to death as a WCM.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

@foreveryoung806 @GabezoMan @OU_ThePRIDE I should have lied. Like Mike Leach leaving a fake wrist sheet on the field at OU-Texas.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

@GabezoMan @OU_ThePRIDE I should have checked the other threads. I spoiled it! Sorry @OU_ThePRIDE.

[Chris Nuttall @Nutty_Chris]

@GabezoMan @OU_ThePRIDE It's the version where they play the last refrain from Boomer Sooner, "Rah Oklahoma!" and they hold and play the last note super loud for as long as possible. Usually on big downs for the defense. Then they finish with the "OKU!" part when the huddle breaks.
