    I'm going to guess this has already been mentioned, but where are the box scores?

    I checked ESPN.com - nothing. Yahoo! - nothing. NBA.com - nothing.

    What's the deal?

    I wouldn't blame in tall on Brooks. He usually executed the offense, but our offense is currently almost NOTHING. 2 guys to high post, 2 cuts and an indirect screen, then improve. We need more offense, Mr Adelman.

    Hilarious.

    We had our 2nd and 3rd string players out there at the end against most of their starters. Dorsey has barely played at all and Strawberry isn't even gonna be on the team in a few weeks. They got sloppy down the stretch. That includes Brooks, Barry, Strawberry, Scola and Dorsey. No big deal, though. That is expected for a group of players that has barely played together and is in their 4th of game of the preseason.

    See ya'll.

    Last season we didn't stop experimenting until new years, when we reeled off a 31-4 record or something like that. Relax, give our guys some time to adjust.

    That guy was right. The ball never got out of his hand. He was like a black hole in the 4th quarter.

    He makes poor decisions and is a chucker. Not hard to understand.

    Wow, I am surprised the Thunder had so many starters on the floor in the fourth quarter for a preseason game. Its good to see our 2nd/3rd unit can be competitive against NBA starters.
    When Durant went down I thought the coach would have pulled him out, in order to not risk a star player getting injured late in the fourth of a preseason, but no Carlesimo kept him in the game, I guess they desperately wanted to win.
    Good to see Brooks have a good offensive game, everyone else from the bench had a subpar game.

    Strawberry should have back out on that final play and set up plays.

    Many thanks. I'm glad we are once again above 80% from FT line. And Yao with 17 boards! But he had 4 turnovers. AB needs to get to the line. Strawberry is good FT shooter. Joey Dorsey led team in assists!? Why do they have Durant taking 15 shots in a preseason game? Geez... Westbrook can't shoot.

    he is slowly understanding to be himself and not worry about becoming John Stockton out there.

    Brooks had a good game save for a few bad moments at the end of the game.

    Game ball goes to Durant. Ironically, Strawberry kept us in the game in the 4th quarter and also took us out of it...Brooks had a Solid Game. After tonight, I think its a toss-up between Strawberry and Wafer. Both can contribute but need to see show more consistency to stay on roster...It was an Entertaining game. D-Fence has to improve since the Thunder scored too easily especially in transition...

    Preseason or not, Rockets should win these games!
