    Like the way Harden is playing right now. OFF THE BALL, the way a SG is supposed to play.

    The whole team looks like we are used to seeing. Not sure what happened the last five games but I'm glad we are back in business.

    This is the biggest positive so far. Harden not handling the ball much, no ISOs. Great ball movement and getting Harden some easy drives.

    Give Durant everything, keep the rest of his team out of it.

    We want Jackson to shoot. If we get beat by Jackson so be it.

    Lucky ass shot, i'll take it though. It's still better than Durant shooting it.

    Just avoid a big Thunder run and keep playing like we are playing. We got a chance. Buzzer beater was a "lucky" shot. We need some of those.

    Anyone else shooting is better than Durrant shooting.

    Mchale is always saying they need ball movement. I dont think he tells them to iso they just start doing it when **** falls apart.

    Westbrook foul trouble helped us in the first. honest IMO the biggest difference so far is ball movement. Okc also did less of pressuring the ball this game too.

    Love the adjustment by McHale to start Beverly. It solved a couple of problems with slowing down Westbook and turnovers by pressuring the ball out high.

    Also, this matchup allows Lin to help off Sefolosha and gamble for some steals on help.

    that's the unfortunate thing for us, good ol scotty brooks can run his most advanced play, "iso durant" on every 2nd play and it actually works...
