This team shoots 3's like their Houston or the Warriors. Someone should tell them they aren't.

You know you are in trouble when Royce is carrying the team.

What to do when the other team leaves you open and you can’t make a shot?

Having no ball handlers that can get into the defense other than Mitchell is bad against a team as good as OKC. Nice to see Dante back, I think his instincts on offense have been right even if the execution was poor (stepping out).

Drive to the basket, put pressure on the defense inside, get them to foul you and get to the free throw line.

Standing around the perimeter dribbling holes in the floor with little to no movement, no cutting, and only 1 pass and done will get you nothing. You can't even get fouls that way. Make their defense work and run around.

Everyone is scared to shoot. You don’t have a chance to win this way.

If everyone had a player they didn't like on their own team, Crowder is mine.

We’re playing tough...but the role players have been horrible. Crowder, Korver, Ingles, Exum have all had nightmare games.

OKC, to me, is the second best team in the West, so I'm not surprised we are struggling. At least we are playing well when Rudy and Donovan are in.

On the flip side, Shroeder and Grant are killing us. Rudy has been the best player on the floor tonight, but it’s been a terrible team performance.

I think Rockets can beat them in the playoffs.

Nuggets and Jazz also might.

I think the Rockets are going to get murdered if they meet OKC. That team isn't built to succeed in the playoffs, I'd favor us in a matchup against them.

God I hope our idiot fans don't ruin our chances of signing a free agent.

Donovan is going to be so good in two years.

Well George can't say they haven't got a call all season long now. They just got 2.
