Man the defense has been excellent. Great close outs on the three point shooting, active hands. It's amazing since we have no shotblocking at all. Kevin Durant has been excellent on the defensive boards, tipping the ball to teammates and boxing out. Really impressed by Durant's effort on defense tonight.

[88' Draft Pick]

yeah Thabo is playin great. who did we trade for him?? i cant remember for some reason. I remember it was a STEAL.

LOL @ Westbrook on that three. First time I've ever seen him hesitate to shoot.

late 1st round pick

15 point lead after three. Great offensive quarter, good continuity, RW was great.

Probably going to see some bench to start the fourth, hopefully they'll hold their own and we can steal this one.

FT shooting is really making the difference in this one.

[slick_watts]

Russ is on fire.. Thabo has to stop shooting, stick to defense buddy

[Clangus]

WOW this is one of those games where we show glimpses of what we could be.

[slick_watts]

Wade and Miami going to make a run here at home, this is where good teams are able to execute and seal a win. OKC's been horrible at this, big cushion with only 3 minutes left.

[slick_watts]

Excellent possession on offense there, heads up play by Thabo. It was nice seeing Westbrook defer after the offensive rebound also.

[dre_1614]

very nice win tonight, great great defense for most of the game. The effort was nice to see after the Clippers game.

[slick_watts]

Biggest win of the year IMO. San Antonio was hurting and had two guys just coming back from injuries; Miami is 100% and have been on fire especially at home. Great bench play, got the ball moving more in the second half, hit the free throws..

Impressive win.

[theokie]

Great win. Durant's been on fire recently, just under 33 a game the last 5

[slick_watts]

KD's getting to the line and getting at the boards too.. nice to see. If his 3pt% comes up anywhere close to what it was last year he'll put up 30ppg this year.

[Clangus]

that was a great win against a team that is playing very well.

That's 3 good wins though this year
Orlando in a blowout
San Antonio at San Antonio
and now Miami at home!

That's three Playoff teams right there. If only we didn't lose to the non-playoff teams.....

Looking really impressive. Honestly, I'm pretty surprised. The D all season has been pretty stellar, but Westbrook and Durant both stepped up down the stretch. Collison and Krstic both made some really nice role-player plays on offense. Thabo's D has been ridiculous this season, he was good last season, but with his performances on guys like Kobe and Wade he HAS to start getting some league-wide recognition very soon.
