Man, Weaver and Thabo playing suffocating D on the wing.

In two years if Westbrook, Weaver, Thabo are all still playing for OKC that will be the best defensive back court in the league.

Yeah they are.

I just wish both Durant and Westbrook would be more patient in the shot clock.

I'd like to see them run more plays instead of going one on one.

Godamn Westbrook, what kind of execution was that? 76-78 Thunder, Spurs ball with 18.0 seconds to go.

Nice D by Thabo on Parker at the end of the game.

Westbrook should have gotten the ball to KD for that last shot. Hopefully those kinds of decisions correctly will come with maturity.

But again both Durant and Westbrook should use up the shot clock a little more and run an offensive play and then if it doesn't work rely on the one on one.

One on one as a staple doesn't tend to work very well.

Great win all the same. Defnse was amazing and really made SA work for thier points.
Westbrook, Green and Krystic were terrible offensively.

A win is a win and against a Title contender its a great win.
1 more win and we equal last year WooT

Great win. That was a hard-fought game. The fact that this team can win when Westbrook, Green, and Krstic all have not-so-great games on both ends of the floor shows how far they've come. The season has gone from can't win at all, to the big 3 all have to play well to win, to win as a team.

I don't know if this team with the players they have right now is capable (with player development) of being a great team down the road, but other than Watson and the really deep bench guys, I would be disappointed to see any of them go.

Yeah, he has definitely surpassed the production we were getting from Mason in almost every way in a very short period of time. I would say that the one edge Mason had was the fact that he was the emotional leader of the team. He was the only guy that really got worked up and he always looked like he was leaving it all on the floor. Thabo is another guy who fits into the very even-keel mood of this team. Overall I think the demeanor is alright, but it's nice to have a guy that really plays with fire to get the team going when things are tough.

You guys might as well and go ahead and lock up Weaver,Thabo,Big three, Kristic, and Collison and build from there this draft and free agency can make this franchise good luck. I'll be watching the franchise and hopefully the Thunder and Clipps can make a nice feud and some playoff noise next season.
