Man... how many more big leads can we blow? They seem to keep coming down to not having a go-to scorer outside of Durant. It creates the same type of situation as a quarterback locking on his star reciever. We looked amazing for about 18 minutes in the first half... which is about the 3rd or 4th strech of basketball that had I not seen the standings, I would think that we were one of the better teams in the league. Then, of course, there were the stretches where the game entirely explained the standings. I was pretty amazed with some of the shots that Quintin Ross, of all guys, put in tonight. He had a 3 and a couple of fadeaways with guys right in his face.

Ross had a pretty good game tonight here he played well on both ends and Mike Conley put up a season high 16pts from the field. Like you said, the Thunder need another scorer alongside KD and the defense has to be stronger and more emphasis against opponents to keep them from having good nights from the offensive end.
