    not sure how they could say harden was shooting, but ok.


    seriously. westbrook hasn't been inside the paint and is 5 for 6? and he just threw a terrible pass that somehow went through 3 people for a layup. we have to weather this incredible storm from okc.

    Keep giving Westbrook wide open shots. It's working well!

    If Harden had the competitive spirit of Westbrook, he would probably be the best SG of all time.

    That's odd. Dekker and Kanter both checked in to the game at the same time and I didn't see Kanter ask Dekker for permission to do ANYthing. After Dekker siezed ownership of Kanter in the last Rox/OKC game, I figured Kanter was bound to view Dekker as some type of authority figure - perhaps to replace Erdogan - or at the very least an oppressor/owner?

    Either way, that's a bit of a surprise. Maybe Dekker sold him back his rights on the DL?

    Westbrook looking like Steph from outside.

    Weird.

    It's funny because Harden isn't playing badly it just seems like hes playing bad because of how lazy his game looks.

    If Harden had that type of effort level, he'd be a consensus MVP each year. I think Harden is more talented that Westbrook, just doesn't have as good of a motor and isn't as big of a competitor as Russ.

    Jesus Christ. It's obvious to anyone with a brain Russ was going to keep shooting it there, yet we don't man up on him and force the ball out. Instead he already has 3 3's, which I'm assuming is close to his career high.

    Agreed. Last year I would have been like "Well, we lost. Who do we play next?"

    But this team seems so calm and never panics, a 9 point lead is nothing to this team. Westbrook is going to get his. If he can continue to hit pull up 3s not much you can do about that. Usually though, he starts bricking.
