    Actually pretty damn impressive we could've won when they shot 55% FG and 48% 3-pt... goodness

    Can Thunder keep that up? Lord

    They're going to exploit that matchup the entire series, and whoever Anderson switches on scores on him too.

    You have confidence that we will be the aggressors? We don't seem to have that mentality.

    Yeah the Rox will very likely eventually win this series but they didn't show killer instinct tonight. Rox just didn't want it badly enough the whole night.

    EXACTLY. I hate this whole "we played like **** and still were in it"

    Crap Crap Crap. 28% from 3. Anderson. Come on dude. I stood up for you today. I said you are due for 40%. Thats your career in that building and you make a whimpering 2 from behind the arc. Yet Roberson hits 2-3 again. They shot 47% from the 3 point line yet won by only 2. Was that their best shot and they barely escape?

    we need 2 bigs in there at the same time. must pack the paint, eliminates those second chance pts, let okc beat us from the Outside. Ryno, Ariza and Pat gotta step up on the O end.

    Another potential for growth: we had 10 assists tonight.

    Damn we've been so close...I think not calling a timeout is ok in that situation, but if you have to jack up a contested 3 call it...i mean, you look for an easy two or if you can find someone wide open in rythm, if not try to draw up a play, you're always in time to launch a bad shot...aren't we the best team in making plays out of a timeout?

    I can live with Harden taking the game winner. He had a clean look in stride.

    If he drives he probably loses the ball or gets hacked and no call which in my opinion we'd all be b****ing about way more.

    Not sure why everyone is crying about the time out.

    I think thats a good shot with no time left on the clock (when he took it) and going for the win on the road.

    I would be more afraid of a turnover coming out of a timeout with OKC set on defense.

    It was a good shot, a few inches off and Harden is very capable of making it.

    I can live with that.
