At least Durant is playing better, if we were getting anything from anyone else on offense besides RW and KD this would be our game.

Why are Kevin Ollie and DJ White in the game at this point?

I can't stick around for the end of this thing but suffice to say that the defense has been horrible, I'm confused as to why Kevin Ollie has been on the floor this long in the fourth quarter (Thabo just now came in), and this offense is always going to be inconsistent when everyone has to be making jump shots for it to succeed. Very few easy shots in this one against a team with no shot blocking. Not good to see.
Oh and the bench was terrible, Chase Budinger looked like he should have been the #3 pick tonight.

We are just too inexperienced on the offensive side to be consistent IMO, especially when we have a PG like Westbrook. It's going to take some time unfortunately.

Russell Westbrook, this guy can't calm down for even a second.

wow... yeah, the offensive flow is just AWFUL. Even the ones we score on are due much more to the raw talent of Westbrook or Durant than a real offense being run.

Re: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Houston Rockets 11/06/09
looks like i couldnt have been wronger lol. good signs from westbrook and durant though, this is just inexperience. we will become more fluid as time progresses. aside from westbrook and durant everyone was awful and we couldnt get a rebound to save our lives.. just goes to show how much we need a real inside presence. and plus presti seemed to give up kind of early this game
Fear the Beard!!

Well, just watched the game.
Pretty much sumed up the differences between my 2 favs teams.
The rockets have no star, but take care of the ball, make good passes, and play a collectiv basketball.
The thunder is just waiting for greats things by Green, Durant and Westbrook.
I liked the way we were defending for the start of the season, but our defense looked not so good today.
Westbrook is just annoying me now. He's playing selfish basketball, he's not moving AT ALL on offence when he doesn't get the ball, and he makes plenty of bad decisions.
I don't understand why don't go with Green in the post more.
Both high post and low post, he's not a bad passer, he could make passes to cutters, or use his atleticism to get by the defenders. On D, he still needs work. Scola was too much for him.
And I like Durant a lot, but he did take some questionables shoots at the end of the game.
For both Westbrook and Durant, they need more patience. We're playing like steetballers now on O.
And also, why doesn't Harden play more?
10 MN?It's not like Thabo or Westbrook in the first half were balling..
