    I wouldn't change anything yet . You would put Gordon in there for him and it's great to have HIM off the bench .

    It helps that they suck so bad on offense.

    They missed some really good and open looks.

    i whine about the refs a lot and i still feel like i'm on overdrive this game. there are only so many 50/50, 70/30 calls you can't get before it's pretty obvious. we got NOTHING that half!

    we got some calls last 4th quarter after a disaster from the refs the first 3 quarters. maybe it'll happen again. refs seem to have a tradition of turning on a team they are rigging the game for who doesn't repay them by playing well.

    He should try a midrange jumper during those possessions, he's money from midrange. He pretty much never makes that contested three off the dribble. He hasn't been making it all season yet keeps shooting it.

    I've been optimistic for the past 4 games and it hasn't happened. I think Ryno is "what you see is what you get" at this point

    Westbrook had 2 threes go halfway down before rimming out.

    It must suck being Adams and Roberson. Adams is much better than he's actually displaying. Roberson playing his ass off on defense and he gets to watch Westbrook chuck shots.

    With this lead, we should experiment with the lineup to see if something different will change the slow starts.

    If we just start Gordon over Anderson and push Ariza to the 4 that would be a nice little change.

    I would even start Nene over Capela though. See if that lineup can push this lead to 12-15 right quick and put pressure on the Thunder.

    If we can get the lead to 15+, I think its over.

    One good run in the third is going to break these guys, they are on the precipice, just need pushing over.

    True , but so have we .

    The "slow start" we had was partially a product of Ryan missing 2 and trev missing 1 wide open 3's

    Harden keeps getting blocked. Our bench stepped up (as usual) and we got a 7 pt lead.

    Can't believe we are up 7. Westbrook has done EVERYTHING for them on offense...hopefully we blow them out in the 3rd

    Anyway OKC sucks. Can't afford to have these slow first Quarter starts against SPurs or GSW or Cleveland :D
