SteemSports 100% Re-Distribution Game
Game Preview
Thunder are coming to Chicago this Monday. They will be expecting to make a great storm, which would destroy all the Bulls of Chicago. However, it might be hard to do as the Bulls are holding on better than anyone could expect this season. Also, the Thunder team is showing some awful results at the moment. Nonetheless, it will be a hot night in Chicago with a lot of pure talent and drama. Nothing will make your Monday better than this match. Believe me.
Oklahoma City Thunder
It looks like whenever Thunder gets a chance to improve their position in standings, they just fail to do it and still remain 7th in the Western Conference. Realistically, they are not capable of getting higher than 5th position, but there is a huge difference between being 5th and 7th. So what happens?
Well, Thunder lost 4 of their last 6 games, including losses to direct opponents Grizzlies and Rockets. Sadly, it looks like consistency is not a friend for the Thunder team. You just cannot guess what type of Thunder will come on the court on any given day. They might be all fired up and dominating and that is when Thunder team is unbeatable. However, they might also be all lost on the court with Westbrook trying to make something happen, but only succeeding to shoot some brick shots.
Thunder fans should be positive coming into the game against Bulls, though, as Thunder really shined bright on the last game against Nuggets. Westbrook made 7 three-pointers and finished the game with triple double. Adams dominated inside the paint. Sabonis made 5/5 free throws, which is his career record so far. Overall, things were working just perfect and when it counted.
Thunder is all about Russell Westbrook
So, by now everyone already knows that Russell Westbrook is the most important guy on this Thunder team. He simply does everything and the best proof of that would be his numbers - Westbrook is averaging a triple-double per game. He finished the last game against Nuggets with 32 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 assists. On top of that, he made 7/12 three-pointers, including those 4/4 during the beginning of the last quarter, when the game winner was being decided. Simply stunning.
I would love to highlight that his 7/12 three-pointer bombs against Nuggets were not some kind of exception to a rule. Russell Westbrook is seriously working on his shooting beyond the arc to achieve even better results. Earlier this month, he made 8 three-pointers against Rockets and that is his career record so far. However, with this tempo and freedom in the Thunder team, I don't think that this record will hold a month. Anyway, his hard-work on improving those less used skills is really surprising me and shows that Westbrook has a mindset to become the worlds best player for a couple of seasons to come.
Chicago Bulls
The had to say goodbye to Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Pau Gasol, Justin Holiday, Mike Dunleavy, E'Twaun Moore, and Arron Brooks.
Those guys were replaced by Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo, Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant, Denzel Valentine, Paul Zipser
I was among many, who thought that the Chicago Bulls GMs have done some terrible work. Yes, it was a great and totally understandable thing to get rid of old and injured guys after a really bad last season. However... Who was signed? Different old and injured guys.
If all those signings were made 7 years ago, it would be the best ever summer for Chicago fans, but sadly we are in 2017 now. So, Chicago Bulls took all the bashing from media and just started their season with a lot of power. They shut up all the critics, including me, and it looked like Wade and Rondo were living their second youth.
However, things got back to reality pretty soon and Bulls are now holding on that 8th place with 18-19 record. Obviously, they want to improve their standings, because 8th place only means losing to Cavs in the first round of the play-offs. In order to achieve that, home games against teams like Thunder is a must win. I believe that Butler, Wade, and Rondo think the same.
Young, old, and injured - Butler, Wade, and Rondo
If you were not following NBA for the last couple of seasons, you might think that having Rondo and Wade in one team only means victories. However, it is not the case anymore. They are still good, but not superstars by far.
Prediction
This will be a really interesting game to watch. I am really afraid that the Bulls don't have a player, who could stop Westbrook's dominance. However, Thunder will also have a hard time defending against Butler and co. I see this game being really tight. We might even see a buzzer-beater. Even though I think Thunder should win, my heart leans to Bulls this time. So I will guess 111-106 to Bulls favor.

Too confusing for me 'and' as I try to understand it, not everyone who participates will end up winning anything .. is that right?
Is it too confusing to you or you just feel that steemsports are competitors and you want to make them look worse? :D Because an average 5 years old would understand how the rules work, just try to read it.
And of course, not everyone will win. However, the ones who will make the best guesses will earn huge profit. That's how sports work and that is where all the fun comes from.
Fun?
I think y'all should feel very lucky that there is anyone still willing to upvote anything @steemsports posts. This new game is designed to do one thing only ...make them money.... forcing you all to upvote and respond to many posts for a 'chance' to win far less than they would pay out otherwise .. it should be seen as an insult on top of insult.
The only thing is that they make no money out of it as every single penny is being distributed. Just thought you might want to know before making false accusations. If you give 1 cent to 10000 people or 10 dollars for 10 people, you still give away 100 dollars, or am I wrong?
So where is the insult?
Where once there was a series of games that benefited ALL who participated over time, you have replaced it with a convoluted means to promote the for-profit venture .. it is effectively paying for advertising. :)
Yes, more SP added to the SP already hijacked, given to them enthusiastically by those who assumed it would go to securing a source of steady albeit small earnings. Now you expect us to be "ok" with something that continues to benefit you greatly, and only 1 of us periodically ..when they are very lucky. Only fools and those totally unaware would be ok with that!!
I am only a writer so I have no shares of SteemSports at this moment.
But how blindfolded are your comments, man? I know that you want free2play to succeed badly and I wish you luck with that. However doing it by such means just looks silly. Of course someone will believe your lies, but do you?
• 100% of the Steem Power (SP) pool will distributed to winners equally, no rewards will be retained by the @steemsports account.
How is that increasing the SP? It is funny how people just ignore facts and see what they want to see. Or you are just brilliant at trolling. Hats off to you, then!
Congratulations on your recognizing skills as well! They don't work, though. People are getting more from this model than they ever used to.
That is The Truth
My pleasure is great to see FREE PLAY games Back! Many tanks. ..hat tip..
Hat tip to you too sir!
