I said I thought a healthy Harkless could be a major x-factor in this series. The one thing that never gets brought up much about the regular season series with OKC is that, even though he played in all 4 games, Harkless was never 100%. Now he is, so his ability to defend an already slowed PG will be pretty important.

Well especially Ninja Moe this is his final form.

Bench needs to play well here. Hold the lead please (or extend it preferably!)

No Dame or CJ on the court right now. Bold move Stotts. I'm a bit worried.

Bench is doing a good job of just treading water, I think Stotts is taking the opportunity to give his starters some rest.

I do like that the refs are calling this a very tight game, they are really punishing the Thunder for trying to overplay everything and trying to grab or bump guys without the ref seeing.

Some sloppy TOs in the last few mins here, can't do that against this team or you're in trouble. Breen said it before, feels like it should be a 20pt lead but now its only single digits. Need to push back let's go

Turnovers are how the Thunder win games period, they struggle when forced to score in the half court.

How the **** do we have a mere 13 points this quarter when we scored 39 in the first?

Turnovers are killing us in this quarter period.

This half can't end soon enough. We are playing woefully right now.

7 TOs in the quarter + bad shooting. That's how you let a team back into a game SMH...

Lillard is harming the team badly this quarter.

Hooray they aren't letting Westbrook run people down and calling it a blocking foul.
