    In all seriousness. Dort is a really outstanding defender. He's big, long and active.

    it’s times like this where I wish a coach would tell Harden to attack the rim and stop it with the threes...over half of these attempts weren’t even necessary

    drive for the score or the drive and kick...it’s been working

    between the leg threes have been buns this game...just stop

    I don't agree with Harden's early three, but I don't mind him taking time off the clock with other isolation. He needs to hit at least one of them though, goodness.

    Got faith in him though!

    A strong soccer background seems to do wonders for some NBA players.

    I've been clowning this guy since the Thunder started rolling him out but damn his defense is legit. If he learns to shoot he's gonna go places.

    If Hardens playing he needs to be the closer. If things are bogging down he needs to get those gritty points.

    it would really help if he can get calls like he usually does

    Great timeout by D’Antoni to calm everything down and reign the team in.

    He's strong or stronger than Harden, he's bricking all of Hardens drives. Harden isn't playing bad at all.

    He's 1-10 from the 3. That's not slandering. That's called stating facts.
