Oklahoma City Thunder @ New Orleans Hornets 01/24/2011

To be fair the Hornets was really good today. they held the spurs to 72 and Hawks to 59. We still had chance to win it though.

Should have won this game. So many offensive possessions to close and it was all long jump shots. If it wasn't for Collison / Ibaka getting rebounds and second chance points this game would have been lost by double figures.

How is this team ever going to win a playoff series when it can't run a functional offense to close games, or even START a play against a good defensive team. Twice!

And for once Green played decently too, doesnt seem to be happening regularly lately and we blew it on that aspect. Chris Paul looks good. He was getting steals like nobody business, or at least that's what the commentator lead me to believe.

The fact at with .5 seconds none of our players were even moving towards the rim is so ridiculous it hurts my head to think about. Everyone was going towards the ball. With .5 seconds left!

as bad as the end of the game execution was, the game is really on durant missing so many shots down the stretch. not the best looks, but very makable, especially for him. the loss stings (no pun intended), a good offensive game by green wasted.

We played well, they played well, we just made too many mistakes at the end. That usually kills you.

Face it ! We are not a top 3 seed. Our game needs much developing !
Green must work on his shot selection. Tonight he did well , but he still was 2-6 3pt !
And we need ourselves that quality big ! WE ALL KNOW IBAKA can't manage 30 or mor MPG.

Good game thou' !

It's too early to be thinking about seeding, we should still be aiming for home court advantage in the first round though. No harm in that even if we're not top 3 material.
2-6 from 3 point range is decent. Green is no dirk afterall.

Why can't ibaka handle 30+ minutes? Even if he's in foul trouble it's not every game and if need be can always play collison to close the game
