    The cynicism here is obnoxious but I guess not surprising. We got this.

    exactly, his ankle has destroyed him. harden doesn't have the athleticism to be hampered and still beat elite D.

    and while we did dominate with westbrook out, it was really offensively we domnated. 4/4, 14 points in 3 minutes. okc scored a little below normally.

    Thunder are down to one timeout already. Not surprised they burned a full there though. Westbrook needs the extra breather.

    Props to Ryno for feeding Lou every possession.

    I love Harden, but he's pissing me off so much in this game...I'd rather he stay on the bench right now

    We should finish with Bev/Williams/Gordon/Harden/Capela or Nene.

    None of this Ariza/Anderson crap.

    Dantoni really needs to use Harden and Anderson a little different when the game dictates to increase their effectiveness

    Suspect refs start calling phantom fouls to give Thunder breaks and stop our runs.

    Not hating on Capela because we need him, just think Nene has got the hot hands and we need to ride that big D(no homo).

    All the more reason we need to win this and watch SAS-MEM go 7 games.

    One thing we have to all agree, Anderson passes on point. For being such a useless sniper he can at least pass it without fking it up.

    They need to keep doing it the rest of the night. That's when they've had the most success shutting OKC down.
