Durant will have his "breakout game" with a new season high on 60% from the field.
Thunder win by 9.

Boozer slaughters Jeff Green. Hope he's still got some cobwebs...

This isn't a team we can play small ball against. DJ White is hurt, there are rumors that Aldrich is going to be called up.

Would really love to see Cole tonight and work himself into the rotation. We'll need his big body this season.

I doubt Aldrich plays much. This seems to be insurance, with no DJ or Nick

Some said it was because of matchups, but I think they are giving him some rest, sort of like KD.

On a side note: Harden may be still a disappointment kinda, but he is shooting 41.3% from the three for the season and 16/30 (53%) for the last 9 games.
Pretty impressive. I wis we would go more to him.

Harden is starting to come along, once he gets the ball he is more confident and less hesitant. he will never be a ball hog on this team because of Westbrook and Durant, so we need him to do the most with it when he has the ball.

He already is a very good 3 point shooter,, so with more work on his mid range game and finishing in traffic he should be the perfect fit next to Westbrook and KD. Another thing Id like to see him do is pass when he is driving, he has real nice court vision under the basket so I hope we see more of that.

Russ supposedly suffered a mild groin injury last night but I haven't heard anything about him missing time.

The way we're defending Boozer is weird.

Cruddy start for both teams, IMO.

Decent 1st quarter. Bulls shooting over 50% but missed some FTA and gimme's at the bucket.

They are really crowding KD where ever he is, I think this is a game where someone like Harden can get some open shots (like Krstic has been getting).

Ibaka / Collison has been much less effective this season. Nick hasn't been the same, he's slow and doesn't get up at all. We're getting crushed on the glass with him in there.

Krstic was playing well, Collison is playing horrible. Dunno why Nick is getting so many minutes here.

Collison / Green is too slow and small to play defense against the Bulls. We can't challenge anything in the paint.

RW and JG both laying eggs. KD needs to get the ball more. Hate the way RW is playing right now.

Much rather have Aldrich (I know he's inactive for tonight) in there than Collison, especially since the Bulls are playing Asik as well.

Could have been much worse. Staying in the game with FTA's, have to do a better job on defense rotating and Russ has to get his head in the game.

No energy or cohesion at all. Green getting demolished by Boozer as usual.
