    Yeah, i'm not in the camp that thinkS we're going take this game just bc OKC lost WB. They have Durant and a better supporting cast than we do.

    Greg can just puke on his man and they will part like the seas for him.

    Without Westbrook all we need to do is Double Durant every possession. Make his skinny ass work for it. Let their role players beat us.

    Durvassa do you have numbers on how effective the Lin Bevery Harden three man combo is?

    from @JasonCFriedman twitter:

    McHale says he thinks Lin is "going to give it a shot tonight" Not sure about Greg's Smith's status.

    I read somewhere Greg Smith says he can go but looked pretty ill from the virus so unlikely to get minutes unless absolutely necessary.

    Greg Smith's diarrhea game will be more memorable than MJ's flu game.

    What should our starting line up be today's game? I don't think we need 3 guards in the starting line up with Westbrook out? Should we go back to our traditional line up?

    If Smith can't play, is Montie going to play back-up center to Asik?

    Is Harden going to guard Durant? or Double? or
    Will they play zone from the start?

    McHale said in an interview yesterday he's sticking with small ball + Smith has a nasty stomach virus.

    Likely:
    PG Beverley - Jackson
    SG Lin - Sefelosha
    SF Harden - Durant
    PF Parsons - Ibaka
    C Asik - Perkins

    I would think OKC would make adjustments this game to our small ball. Hopefully the rockets are prepared to make quick adjustments if there are signs of trouble.

    I tried that. I don't think I am using that site properly because it wasn't giving me the numbers I desired. If you don't have them on hand then no worries.
