    Think how much worse you would feel if we had lost the game.

    Lowest scoring game of the season? Maybe of the year?

    that was in Manu's sausages but it actually fuelled Delfino to shoot better. ;)
    Not worse

    Nice. I'm not a big McHale fan, but he is a good quote lol.

    The Thunder had 15 blocks?! They deserved a little credit for D too ;)

    It's kinda funny seeing Lamb get hit with that move. Just a couple of years ago, he had this awesome reaction to Harden doing the same move on Ibaka. That grin he has in the background is hilarious.

    I've said before that a game was the worst I've seen in my life, but nothing can compare to this. The referees were downright horrible at controlling this game and there was some weird stuff going on. The non-calls on Howard were laughable, the times they tried to give OKC possessions was terrible and our offense was just flat out ****.

    People can say these 2 games were just a slump or whatever, but our offensive limitations are showing and we need to be able to get some mid-range shots and sets involved. We really way too much on 3 pointers and FTs, the latter we just do not seem focused at all when we're shooting them!!

    Again, for those hating on Garcia or McHale for playing him, he did an outstanding job defensively, got a clean block on Perkins and was ready to fight but just let it go :) he also made a crucial three when we couldn't hit **** and just had his hands on the ball numerous times.

    The key was Beverley, without him, we might have lost. Why Canaan got no playing time?

    D-Mo is trash. I know people rave on about his "excellent" post skills but in NBA level, he is utterly useless. Would have been padding OKC's block numbers if we gave him more chances.

    He can't jump so plays much smaller than what he is. Package him in a deal for Mosgov.

    Okay we have to do something about our scoring, it's been horrible since the Golden State game & we can shoot bad against Memphis.

    Hope T Jones gets back soon. Could use his scoring.

    That was a super ugly game but I don't think we can jump to conclusions just yet. It's pretty discouraging to see that OKC can shut us down like that though. The coaches need to come up with a game plan to fight OKC's aggression on D.

    Let's just hope it's temporary lingering affects from the Mexico trip.
