Took no time for them to erase our 14 point deficit and Harden had very little to do with it. That worries me.

If Adams and Roberson could shoot FTs at something other than a historically awful rate, we'd be up by 15 still.

All of that, and we're still only up by four.
We're not going to win.

Cole has looked as bad as Semaj on a bad day so far.

Dipo has to play well this quarter or we're doomed

We were up 70-56 about midway through the third. We've been outscored 26-9 ever since.

I don't know how anyone can watch this game and say Westbrook's supporting cast isn't worse than Harden's. Harden is having an awful game and his team is up by three in the fourth quarter.

When did Kanter forget how to score

Russ ain't winning us this game. He's too tired.

Westbrook kicked to a wide-open Roberson in the corner, because Robes has actually been shooting the three ball well this series, and Robes passes up the wide-open three, tries to penetrate, and dribbles off of his foot.
And "bad fourth quarter FT shooting Westbrook" is back.

Why is Gibson still on the bench?

He can't rest or we completely fall apart. We're -18 with Russ on the bench.
Meanwhile, Harden can rest and his bench will get his team over the hump and give them a lead.

Because Donovan hates him.
