I’m also going to be paying close attention to how Westbrook performs with Bradley guarding him. Curry was easy. Bradley will make things a little more difficult.

Harris - Melo is another interesting match up worth watching.

Wonder if Donovan will put Melo on Johnson and George on Harris.

Harris and Melo are boys and Harris shows up every time he plays him. Expecting a big game from him. Please put PG on him


Melo is Tobias favorite player he always tries to kill him.

I’m starting to lose hope with Alex. I dont know if he’s going to make it in the nba.

Solid first half, especially with George being in foul trouble. Russ missed some shots but is still playing like Russ of last year.

Solid if unspectacular first half. Great job controlling the boards, Russ and Adams doing some good things. If PG can stay out of foul trouble in the second half and the team can run the Pistons three point shooters off the line this should be a fairly easy win.

George not having a great offensive game but makes a great pass to Adams, draws the foul and then gets a layup. I love this guy.

Russell has to take that to the rim. No way Drummond could stay with him, amd he settled for the contested 3. Smh.

Russ has had a couple threes go halfway down.

If you want Russ to be Russ, you have to live with that shot.

Russell needs to Russell by getting to the rim and being aggressive. He's 6 for 17 now.

It was low IQ, and if you haven't noticed, we are about to blow another large lead. Russell needs to attack the rim. The Warriors game showed that.

I have noticed Russ being aggressive tonight, and he has attacked the rim. Lots of b-ball to play here and OKC still has the lead.

We’ve had so many threes go halfway down and rattle out.

He is trying to show why he never got the playing time that some people thought he deserved from his limited play in previous seasons.

What the damn hell happened?

I check the score as I pull into my driveway and we were up 77-73 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Less than five minutes later I get the game pulled up on my laptop and we're down 81-79 less than two minutes into the fourth quarter.

Again...what the damn hell happened?

Silly us for letting the Warriors game fooling us into thinking the team had figured things out.
