    We're as good as dead in a seven game series. Unless Durant dies or forgets how to play basketball altogether.

    So what's the deal with Howard against long quick guys of OKC and Clippers?

    Both teams finish at the rim as much as us (if not more). Will shoot mid-range and can shut down Howard. What's the solution? I just think our talents do not stack up well against theirs.

    I love Bev's defense, but tonight he was way too aggressive and overworked. He let the match-up with Westbrick get way too into his head. :(

    If playoff starts now, we're going to play Portland and then San Antonio.

    who knows what happens if bev doesn't commit that stupid foul. let's hope bev can learn from it. not our best effort at all but still made it a game.

    oh well moving on, let's get the W in chicago.

    OKC and the clippers are our kryptonite. We need to prepare for both because we will see at least one of them come playoff time

    Work on TO's and defense plz. I would yell every time OKC would find an open man, completely unguarded. And I yelled a lot.

    We lost because of Durant. We are always going to struggle against OKC if we don't have a defender that can guard Durant.

    Lin needs to stop picking up his dribble with nowhere to go. Mchale probably would have let him play but those TO's must have drove him insane

    Don't know why Howard and Lin don't run the plays that Asik and Lin run. Asik missed dunk after dunk and mishandled the ball. They could've been an additional 6 points.

    At one point Asik and Howard had the same number of points. Howard post ups didn't show up tonight.

    The thing is Jeremy has to play 1 step above mediocre to finish the game, but he can't even do that... Jeremy scored two big shots, but then turned it over twice in a row and a bricked shot. Should of finished with Harden at the point and Cisco at the 2.

    That was the most concerning part of the game. He is supposed to be our 1st or 2nd best player every night.

    Ugh, tough loss. Still have a good run going with more tough games up ahead. 3 of 4 tough games still aint bad. Bulls and Heat up next then we have a bit of a breather until the end of the month.

    Keep your heads up Rox fans, this is our toughest stretch yet and we're still doing well.
