    It's about time to keep Lin on the floor even when he's having a bad game. They should not have taken him out earlier on his "assist" run.

    Lin and TD defence on Westbrook has been borderline farsical on WB

    Harden goes for 50 in the 4th and we win :) a man can dream.... anyways OKC thrive on TO as long as we are TO prone we will never beat them.

    The thing with OKC is they probably have the most freakishly long arms in the league. Durant + Westbrook + Ibaka + Sefolosha=blockparty.

    Back to back in the last game of a 4 in 5.

    Kills your legs, and leaves the entire team really fatigued.

    I think the coaches tried to put it all on the floor at the Spurs and there's just nothing left in the tank. Lots of errors by everyone, and a serious lack of lift for the starters.

    A win would actually be more shocking than getting blown out.

    I hope that the refs allow us to push Durant on the hip when he goes for the lay up like Thabo just did to Lin...

    Please for the love of god no Uglas-Aldrich combo. It's hard enough watching Uglas giving up layup after layup by itself.

    Started falling apart when Harden first checked out, basically the others on the floor don't know where to go for dependable offense when Harden isn't out there.

    Lin's defense on Westbrook has been excellent. I have no idea what game you are watching.

    We can't even run on OKC.

    Rockets need a post up player to beat them, they aren't going to beat them trying to out run them. Have to beat them in a half-court game.

    Have you even watched the game? Even with Lin playing poorly the biggest OKC runs have been with TD on the floor and Lin sitting.

    just waive the white flag and give the starters the rest of the night off
    lets see if the young guys can get us back into this and gain some experience at the same time

    Perkins, Sefolosha, Ibaka are defensive beasts. perfect complimentary pieces to Durant/Westbrook
