Pero needs to make his wiiide open 3s. Mike Scott missing layups isn't helping anything either

Chuck Scott is like a big off guard....a little too finesse for me.

Scott is the only guy we have that offers nothing if his scoring isn't on. It was not his night in the first half.

OKC came out and punched us in the mouth, but Atlanta answered back and won in impressive fashion yet again. This team is f'n amazing man. Millsap is the most underrated player in the NBA.

Feels good having this winner after so many years of sucking and then mediocrity.

Adnin, you ain't kidding. I remember that Hawks team with AL Harrington, Antoine Walker and Josh Smith as a rookie all too well. That 13-69 season was the low-point of my fandom.

This feels pretty damned good...

Great game! Great win! The Thunder are struggling for a playoff spot, but really they are one of the top 3 teams in the west. They have injury problems but both Westbrook and Durant played big minutes in this game and both Westbrook and Durant are MVP caliber players.

It was a great game from start to finish. The Hawks were down at first and stormed back in a dominate fashion. Its like you can almost see the killer instinct start to develop with this team. This game will just really going boost up the confidence of all the players to another level, and solidify their team work.

Teague destroyed another elite western PG again, well not really destroyed, but out played Westbrook when you look at the Per 36 min. Millsap and Horford had a great game, but for me the player of the game is Teague. Westbrook is like a prime Wade and Teague out played him. Korver also had a good game creating for others. Korver on attempted three 3pt shots, and that is because he had his own personal Thunder escort throughout the whole game that never left him, which as a result opened up lanes for Teague and Dennis all game long.

This is a big game, against a good western team, but the bad thing about it, is that nobody is going to know about it, because Klay Thompson is going to dominate the basketball news media for the next 24 hour news cycle.

Always glad to see Westbrook lose. Still salty after both him and Ibaka decided to go for a triple double and double double in the closing seconds of a blowout 5 years ago instead of running out the clock.

Yeah I knew sooner or later he will get this Vince Carter's attitude. :lol:
