Dumb time to iso Melo.

I just don't get it. We can look near flawless on both ends for the first 1.5 or 2 quarters, and then it's like our opponent figures out some untsoppable cheat code on both ends of the floor that we can't solve.

This is like the 5th or 6th game this year where we've looked like the best team in the NBA and the worst team in the NBA in the same game.

And how is that a foul on us but on the other end it wasn't a foul on the Spurs?

Why has Russell Westbrook forgotten he can't shoot?

He has to be the point guard now that's why he wanted Carmelo and Paul... He just doesn't have it tonight

Dumb time to switch George on to Aldridge. Just dumb basketball

What's sad is that when we were up 43-20 in the 2nd quarter, I knew best-case-scenario I'd have to sweat out a close Thunder win that goes to the final buzzer. Mostly, though, I just expected us to lose.

Westbrook had the 2nd quarter you never want to dream about.

He was excellent in the 1st quarter. Unfortunately he's been truly horrific quarters 2, 3, and 4.

Spurs ball movement is a thing of beauty.

Awesome, one pass, a Melo iso, and a shot. More excellent 4th quarter offense by the Thunder.

And then Westbrook gambles and commits a silly foul.

Those last two plays by the Thunder perfectly sum up our fourth quarter woes this season.
