Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs 11/14/2010

Terrible offense as well.

It's either Westbrook going for a reckless drive or isolating Durant who turns it over/misses a contested shot.

The offense was great in the first half, 15 first half assists. The ball was moving.

In this quarter, when the Spurs got back into the groove, KD and Russ just decided to try to win on their own. And it doesn't help that Green was air balling jumpers again.

Only one assist in the third quarter.

I'm sick of watching this team play defense like this. Getting beat the same way every time. Kevin Durant and James Harden have both been horrible closing out and staying with their man on the three point line.

Can we please get Ron Adams back?

Maynor - Westbrook - Harden - Thabo - Ibaka


Seriously?

[slick_watts]

So we're down seven in the fourth quarter. What does Scott Brooks do?

He goes to the lineup of: Maynor - Westbrook - Harden - Sefolosha - Ibaka.

A small ball lineup with only one shooter, nobody who can do a pick and roll...

We're winning games in spite of Scott Brooks right now. What coach in their right mind would put this lineup up against the Spurs?

[slick_watts]

Another wide open three.

This is not the same team from last season.

What the hell? Why are the Thunder making Bonner look like Ray Allen?

As much as i would love Ron Adams. I don't think he would come back. Lets face it we will never get another defensive guy like him.

Wow! Even smaller with Durant at center.

Brooks has no clue.

[Joel Embust]

One positive from losing this game (by 20 since HT): Brooks won't be getting away with his clueless decision making. Laughable stuff.

Durant had 1 turnover at the half, 4 in the second.

[Sinant]

OKC can't win with their new "no defense" philosophy + Westbrook shooting 5-17.

Durant also really needs to get to the line again. If he got there his usual 10 times, he would have had a 30 point game.

What makes matters even worse when it come's to the Thunder defense, is that almost all of the players are good defenders individually.

Westbrook
Thabo
Durant
Harden
Ibaka
Collison
Green

and even Nenad makes an effort. Sure guys have their issues. Nick doesn't block a lot of shots, Green has fits against longer players. But really over all this team should be locking teams up.

It's really pathetic how much the D has dropped off. You would have thought Brooks might have tried to learn the D from Adams considering it worked so well last year.
