Welcome to Down to Dunk.

I'm your host, Andrew Schleck. We are part of C LNS Media, Daily Thunder.com, and featured on Dash Radio at 5 o'clock central time. And with me, in the same room, in the same looking chairs, right out of stairs. We're on YouTube. Good morning. Good morning. At 126 p.m. good morning yeah we're in these beautiful

hounds tooth wing back chairs we've got matching hounds tooth ottomans um that we're resting around

i got my faithful dog at my side Hank is here live and in person it's a beautiful setting it's a great

day yeah it's a a great way to pod.

I hope you're watching live on YouTube. And if you haven't, you can go search for us on YouTube.

It's easily my favorite YouTube setting that we've ever had. I wish I would have

dressed up, dressed up now that I'm seeing what it looks like. I know. It's so ridiculous.

So the Thunder lost yesterday on Christmas Day, 109 to 113 to the Houston Rockets in Houston. Paul George had 28 points, 14 boards. Westbrook, I thought Westbrook played okay yesterday. He didn't shoot the ball well in the second half. He really didn't play that well in the second half, but I thought his first half was awesome. He finished with 21 points, nine assists,

nine boards, six turnovers. I feel like he's on his way back to being normal Westbrook. He

did make seven of ten free throws. Yeah, which the seven is nice, but the 10 actually is more important.

Did you know this is only the fourth time this season that Russ has attempted double-digit

free throws?

Interesting.

And that was part of, you know, his game was really a mixed bag on Christmas.

But one of the things I did like was he did seem to be more aggressive, seemed to be one of his

more aggressive games.

He had a few plays where he basically just outran the defense and got an easy lap. Also had other plays where he got past the defense and missed open wide open laps. But that's okay. The aggressiveness is what we're looking for because that's kind of what we saw at the beginning of the season when he first came back, all those shots around the rim. Yeah.

And so it was just, it was a weird night. He's had a weird season. Yeah. I still don't know how to feel. Three games and four nights for the thunder. A weird. Yes. Weird to play in the afternoon. I mean, there's a lot of excuses that you can give the thunder. but I really think it comes down to the fact that i thought they defended well but i felt like every single second chance the thunder i feel like they gave it their all and then the the rockets would get these second chances and the thunder would just be like
