Pretty nice game thus far... The Thunder let up one horrible run at the end of the 1st half.

The calls with Kobe are kind of making me mad, and I'm generally not one to blame things on the refs. It's just pretty poor that you know which way a call will go on either end of the floor just because the one guy is involved. And I'm a pretty big fan of watching Kobe play (not his fault the refs call it a certain way).

And yeah... Weaver has had some great moments on offense and defense. His biggest thing at this point is easily the confidence factor!

Good effort by the Thunder, played a great 2nd half but it just wasn't enough against the best in the West.

Man, Durant had a great chance to make it a six point game with 51 secs left but fumbled it out of bounds.

Still can't complain too much. Good game by the young guys.

Durant 31/10/4 with 4 steals and a block. (5 turnovers) That's his fifth 30+ game in a row.

This guy is amazing.

Yeah, it was definitely a good game to watch!

Watson is a lot more helpful to the team than he seems from watching. However, I too grimace nearly every time he has the ball. I think more than anything, he kills us when he dribbles the ball out top for ~10 seconds of the 24... that leads us into the 2 seconds to shoot = bad shot by Watson situation that follows.

Durant put up pretty solid numbers, but for most of the good he did, it seemed like he'd come along with a pretty awkward turnover the next play. Green and Westbrook were more or less non-factors.

For maybe the 1st game this year, Weaver generally impressed me. He's had his moments before, and he definitely had his bad ones tonight, but just overall, it seemed like he "got it" tonight. He puts in just 3 of those 7 3's and he's got a heck of a stat-line to go with some solid Kobe defense. Like I said... all about confidence with him right now!
