Today's opponent:



Keys to the game:

Defend the 3pt shooters: especially Ilyasova and Delfino are shooters who can get hot and like to poor 3 pointers, so we need to contest every shot.
Small ball: Against Milwaukee its wise to play small and put Durant on Ilyasova, as he is a very good "pick and pop" player and Durant is the only one who has the speed to keep up with his shooting and driving too.
Transition D: Get back quick on defense! The Bucks are a quick team who like to run. They also force quite a lot of turnovers so we need to have a really good transition defense tonight.
Get to the FT line: Bucks are not that good on D in the paint, so KD, Westbrook, Harden should all try to drive it to the hole as much as they can and draw fouls.

Milwaukee should be pumped up for this game, they're looking at must win games throughout in an attempt to make the playoffs.

Gooden and Illyasova are potential hard covers for Perkins and Ibaka. I've liked what Dunleavy and Udrih have given Milwaukee off the bench over the last 15-20 games. If Jennings and Ellis get hot then they can probably beat anyone.

Does a small ball for the Thunder mean more Derek Fisher? If so, LET'S GO BIG!!!!!!

Spurs are at Utah, so it will be interesting to see if the Thunder can regain some of their focus for the stretch run as both teams look to jockey for the number one seed in the West.

p.s. I like the drawings.

ibaka is a swatting machine

Why is Fisher playing in a 23 point blowout?

Put in Reggie, Brooks. Jackson needs as much PT as possible.

They've been getting Fisher pretty much all of the time they can. Seems like he's played to the final buzzer of most of our blowouts since he picked him up.

Thabo had his best performance of the season by far tonight.
