    James needs to go early in that possession instead of chilling on the perimeter. Once it's down to 5 seconds and he is still dribbling between his legs at the same spot, defender knows it's a jacked up 3

    Remember when teams would wait until 10 seconds left as time was running down and run an offensive set. Now it's hold the ball until about 6 seconds and ISO all the way. I don't like that.

    that 70 footer was the best offensive possession for harden out of his last 4. if your ankle hurts then don't run the damn shotclock down to 5 every ****ing play before you start going!!!1 and then you just get blocked. pass it to other people.

    the thunder were begging us to put them out of their misery (of playing with russ?) and we wouldn't deliver the coup de grace. just kept iso-ing and bricking. so frustrating. we finally get an off night from the thunder shooters and we score all of 51 in the half. although that's better than the pathetic 16 we scored in the first quarter!

    Give the ball to Lou or Gordon. No reason for hero ball James.

    That wouldn't be a good trade

    At this point we have to hope he's a better matchup or gets hot in another series

    He better not trot out that lineup to begin the 3rd. That would be such a stupid decision. Idk what more he needs to see in order to realize that that lineup isn't producing.

    Capela finally showing up in the second quarter really helped us a lot to get the momentum also.

    Beverley, Gordon, Nene, Williams came to play.

    Anderson, Ariza, and Capela are MIA.

    Save the hero ball for the Spurs when you have a healthy ankle after this 10 day rest we are about to get. ;)

    Very good defense tonight. I'll gladly take a 7 point lead at the half given how horribly we started. But D'Antoni better have a very short leash to start the 2nd half.

    Well, I'm happy. But it just looks like we are playing a team with so little talent that it was inevitable we'd regain control of the cookie jar.

    The pussification of RHyno continues He did nothing this half besides that one drive and basket

    Capela looked VERY solid in the 2nd quarter.
