[Hine] At shootaround today, Julius Randle said Mike Conley called for a mandatory team dinner last night in Oklahoma City. Conley: “When you have games like we just had, guys can get down, confidence can go up and down. It’s the perfect time to bring it all back together.”

2. [deleted]

3. Team meetings before Thanksgiving with a team that brought everyone back😂😂😂 Gotta love continuity

4. There it is, the annual team meeting.

5. [Randle: “Coach [after SAC] was like, ‘You guys look lifeless, not connected.’ Mike immediately after the game was like, ‘We all going to dinner when we get to OKC, it’s not optional.'” “…When we’re having fun, playing with joy & we’re connected as a group, we’re at our best.”](https://bsky.app/profile/christopherhine.bsky.social/post/3m6kgem7tgc2i)

6. Good guy Mike. I think he’s going to be a great coach some day

7. Like Mr Minnesota Mike!

8. I don’t care what anybody say. I want Mike on my team. Idgaf if he can only avg 6ppg.

9. A lot of people shitting on this but I think it’s great. Reconnect, split bread and talk about what’s going on. Love the veteran leadership.

10. I know Rob was just in the corner eating apples

11. Like Kyle said on Danes podcast I feel like they probably could’ve waited until after tonight for the players only meeting.

12. Hope this helps us beat OKC’s ass.

13. Bet they went to the finest Applebees’s OKC has to offer

14. As an avid in game doomer it’s pretty fucking ridiculous to doom over the team going out to dinner.

15. 

    Were the young Timberpups and Finchy doing trust falls? That’s all I want to know.

16. Josh Giddey said recently that the reason OKC is so cohesive as a team is because there’s literally nothing else to do there. They are always hanging out and getting team dinners. Hopefully this helps!?

17. We getting that W tonight on natty broadcast

18. Let’s call this what it is: a players only meeting.

    And they’re gonna get rocked by OKC tonight (not a comment on team quality! OKC’s just on another level right now), so I would have maybe pulled the trigger on this over the weekend

19. Maybe they were all just really hangry?
