I guess the team was looking forward to this game and forgot about Washington last night :-?

Gallinari needs to step up....he missed a crucial 3 at the end of the 4th qtr

This is the type of game we usually seem to step up for. If I remember correctly, the Spurs, Lakers and Clippers all destroyed us on the road in the first meeting, yet we beat all three of them at home shortly after. Hopefully that trend continues.

i really hope that Lawson doesn't guard Westbrook like past game.

it will be possible to pair Westbrook with Igy and Sefolosha with Lawson.

Gallo needs to be helped by our center when Durant will go to the basket and the other perimeter guys with the open threes then

I'm excited for this! We should get a win streak going again. The 4th seed is within reach!

Goodness that was one of the most horrible officiated games I've ever seen.

It's good to win against OKC and the refs.

Brewer had 15 points in the 4th and finished with 26 pts, 6 rebs, 3 asts, 1 stl, 1 blk

Denver have to re-sign him in FA, its gotta be done. The guy is a winner.

Huge win....especially considering all the calls KD and RW got.

Question....Why wasn't Iggy in at the end? I turned the game on at the start of the 4th. I understand Brewer was hot but isn't Iggy supposed to be a great defender?

Having to play 2 pg's at the end really hurts us defensively and barely benefits us offensively. Given Ty's lack of size I'd rather him sit the bench and have Iggy or Chandler in at the end.

Wow, awesome win despite the horrendous officiating. I really didn't think we we're going to win once it went into OT.

Iggy got injured and only came back in the last few possessions

I probably watch this game in bad mood. I'm glad we won but...
I start to hate JaVale again. Goaltending, technical, trying to lead fast break (TO of course), his rebounding skills (after free throw he can't catch ball and gives it to OKC player), you name it.
I know Karl like Ty. But he should accept he IS NOT player who should have balls on last possesion. It was fourt time, fifth time? he totally screwed up this season. I haven't looked at boxscore yet but I feel like he had 10 TO's.

Corey Brewer and Faried were good. Trying to be possitive at the end.

And if Kevin Martin isn't warned by that "anti-flop policy" it's complete joke. 4th Q, about 7:30 remaining. I rewinded it like 5 times with- Are you kidding me? Did he really think ref will buy it when nobody is even close to him?

when i was watching this morning, I can't believe how we spent a 10pt difference in the last minutes.

Always the same play-book style, always Lawson or Miller trying to get an ISO to go to the basket. Don't mind if you're defending by Ibaka.... because you can't create a shoot from the perimeter.
Only Gallo can do this!!!

And Wilson in the bench, when he can dribble to the baskets and make something more than a shoot blocked by the OKC defence.

i can't believe why always are we playing with Miller & Lawson together... Always doing nothing

how about close things out as a team.. the notion of having just one guy isn't the only way...... OKC is too good to just let one guy beat them.. denver needs to just execute better.. they held on and got the win despite the refs doing a horrible job.. good clutch play from miller, gallo, and wilson chandler..

they have to come out every time they play a team like the thunder and match their intensity from the start... Denver has the talent..

Our 3pt defense is VERY suspect when Brewer and Miller are in the game. I love brewer, but he leaves people WIDE open and so does miller. Last night when the nuggets were up 10 points late, Brew and 'Dre were in there together. While they were in there we got SMOKED from 3 and it went to OT.

I love brewer all the time, and especially when he plays like he did last night, but that's not the player we need. We need a natural scorer and natural shooter instead of Brew. We need a defender and shooter at backup PG.
