    If nothing else let this loss remind them that they can't just turn it on when they decide to and when. They have to play basketball for 48 minutes. Maybe we are the better team. But okc is still a professional basketball team. If you think you can you can take it easy and then waltz out in the fourth and win you best think again rox. Go out and play both sides of the ball tomorrow and then you can go wrap up this series at home in front of the home crowd.

    Saw a stat that said the OKC FG% was the second highest of any of all their games this season.

    Report doesn't cover the missed call on Robertson tripping Harden.

    Instead it just claimed missed calls on Nene screens favoring us.

    Thing is useless.

    Even if they ruled thing in our favor all the way down the board in any game, it's still useless. It will never change the outcome.

    The NBA is rigged. Refs calling everything in OKC favor.

    I thought we'd lose going in so most of the game when we were down I was pretty calm, but having a chance at the end only to come up short was really frustrating.

    The defense to start the game was just unacceptable, this is the playoffs, you can't win playing soft on defense. I have mixed feelings about the game; on one hand, I'd like to think we will play a bit better defense in game 4 and we will hopefully hit more 3s, on the other hand, it's unlikely Harden has as good a game as he had last night so other guys are going to have to step up (looking at you Ariza).

    Regardless, the defense will have to be better or else it will be 2-2 come tomorrow afternoon.
