OKC Thunder Best Reserve:

Well, well apparently Tim can get some playing time. He just needs two other wings to be out for it to happen. I’m hoping after two solid efforts though Billy D will continue to give TLC minutes. His offense stands out more than the defense, but the combination is difficult to ignore.

TLC scored 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting, but more importantly added key rebounds (5 with 2 on the offensive glass) with 2 assists, a steal and other than Russ/Hami was the only other player with a positive differential.

Give the kid 20 minutes a night Billy – just find room for him because working with Schroder and the youthful bench in my humble opinion can only equal positive results. Even if it means increasing his tradeability.
