OMG!!! Have we finally worked it out? Has Brooks set up a working offense? Harden holding the ball up high and commanding a double team or coming off that pick, leaving it to an almost transition 4 on 3 style finish. I haven't been this excited in a while.....

Spoke too soon...had 4 straight scores from it and haven't gone back to it...

gotta be kidding me

Jinxed

this team has no leadership

Houston fan here. You guys can understand how happy we are with the win (especially without Lowry) against your team. The Thunder have been my pick for the West all season, and nothing has changed that.

I am very concerned about Kevin Durant after tonight's game. I may not be a doctor, but sadly I do have a history with head injuries and what I saw tonight scared the crap out of me. I didn't think that he needed to be out on the court at the end of the game. I hope that Durant is OK because I like the guy, I like the team and I really want you guys to put a hurt on some other teams in the playoffs!

Serious question - the arena you guys play in: is there ice under the floor? Do you guys have a hockey team playing in there, too? I ask because I saw several instances - including that bad fall by Durant - where it looked and sounded like the floor was dangerously slippery. A little ice under the floor and some unseasonable humid conditions can be dangerous.

Thunder tend to downplay their competition which is mainly because of the lack of leadership. I think Brooks is an overrated coach as well. Harden was feeling it in the 4th but for whatever reason, Brooks and the team went away from it and went back to Westbrook and Durant who failed miserably in the last 2 minutes.

Brooks is absolutely overrated.

The loss last night had zero to do with leadership and everything to do with coaching. Brooks put Harden in those same awful iso, no-ball-movement plays on his last 2 plays running the point rather than keep attacking at the PnR. Not a fan of the move.
