    No Westbrook and No Bev. They lack a dangerous player, and we lack a literally dangerous player. Game on.

    Even with Westbrook out this will be a tough game.

    OKC is deep and Durant can score as well as anyone.

    BIG test for T-JONES. he did poorly against NOwitzki. He needs to at least Hold Durant to 25 points tonight. We win, if he holds durant to that number.

    Wouldn't Parsons be on him? Tjones will have his hands full with Ibaka.

    Even with no Westbrook, Rockets gotta be on their A game tomorrow since on a B2B and on their homecourt. Since we just had a playoff series with them, it is gonna be playoff intensity!!! OKC is just tough

    Harden goes for 40+!
    Dwight wit 20-20 game!

    Now this is the game that we have been waiting for. Though not complete without the two main characters, Bev and westbrook. Still should be a good one. Go Rox!!!

    He won't be holding Durant mainly. I think his man will be Ibaka.

    We added Dwight and they are without Westbrook. Jones is playing better and so is Lin. We should win bottom line.

    Curious if anyone here watches Thunder games? What is the best way to defend Durant? What are the Thunder's weaknesses?

    After these past few games I feel that we can win any game. Am I too optimistic?

    All the starters played heavy minutes against the Pelicans with Harden, Howard, and Parsons each playing 40+ min so hopefully they won't be to tired tomorrow. Gonna need them to be huge against the Thunder

    In the playoffs last year we put Garcia on him and just did ball denial and avoided fouling. He's going to get his 30+ points with Westbrook out no matter how you play him, it's just a question of how much you make him work for it.

    There other weakness is at the 5. When Perkins is on the floor they play 4v5 offensively; he's worse than Omer Asik in that regard. And no way they can defend against center like Dwight; Perkins has fallen off, Collison is soft and old, and Adams isn't ready.
