Memphis played last night against Utah and won at home.
We match up bad with Memphis, especially when Green is playing major minutes. Green seemed more aggressive against Dallas getting to the rim and post (still inefficient offensively, though). Will he continue this against Randolph? Remains to be seen.
Need to protect home court during this tough stretch, we caught a break against an injured Dallas team.

Green vs Above-Average-PF is lost matchup, every game.
We depend on Westbrook's game, every game.
Last game at Memphis we lost not only because Green had 40 minutes, but Westbrook had a terrible night.

Our half court offense is pretty bad.

Randolph: 4-7 FG, 2 ORebounds 1 steal.
Ibaka is such a talent.

Keeping Jeff Green at PF against Memphis just kills the Thunder.

He is simply the worst +/- at Thunder's side.

randolph with 18/13 in 24 minutes

I dunno if you're watching the game, but Jeff Green sort of disappears whenever Randolph gets into a scrum for a rebound.
Green's been more aggressive bodying him up and at least trying in most spots but man he just doesn't have the size.

yeah I am
i can see him trying to defend randolph and he's pushed him into some longer hooks but way too often randolph is getting deep in the paint and just collecting boards and easy lay ins

Ibaka goes out, Durant in at SF, Green to PF. First play? Randolph tip in.
I don't understand.

Now Brooks goes to the big lineup that lost the game against Memphis last time out.
What a complete dolt. Just take Green OUT OF THE GAME.

Thank you KD for saving us from Brooks' Green fetish.

Good win. Needed it. KD is very good, with Harden would play more and Green less though. Oh well.
