Early start...

Ibaka with 3 O boards in 41 seconds.

Durant with 4 to's in the first. Though he did show that he's improving alot as a passer, with 3 awesome finds under the basket. I always though he'd be about a 4 assist career player but he shows glimpses that he can really lift to a Kobe style passer.

Slow start but we look like we can wear them down, bench looks active and Durant and Westbrook are yet to really influence the game.

Slightly odd rotation today.

Hibbert was dominating us, we gotta keep him in foul trouble.

Thabo should never be allowed to shoot it outside of 2 feet. Never.

What's going on with Westbrook. Any news? Came on for 10 seconds in the 2nd and left without explanation. He could tear Indy to shreads.

Disapointing game so far.
Thunder playing tired and sloppy.
Durant really strggling on offense.
Pacers are playing much fresher, much better team ball.
Maynor, Collion, Ibaka and JGreen playing good, the others not.
Need to turn up the energy in the second half and play some smart bball.

Something strange between Brooks and Westbrook?
He sat the last quarter and a half yesterday, and is almost out of rotation today.

Yeh, I fear that's what has happened but it looks alot like it. Really sucks if that's the case. Our chemistry has always been beyond great.

Edit: although it's hard to take anything from the other day because the whole starting lineup sat for the last quarter

He's back on and all seemed well at the timeout.

This defense needs to pick up (or start).

Indiana have 4 bench points.

We really need a threat in the low post.

What's up with Durant? 25% shooting against Granger? Off night or are they doing something against him specifically?

Not gonna dignify this effort with a sticky..

Yeah Durant's had a bad game offensively but our defense against the 28th (!) ranked offensive team in the league has been atrociously bad; completely unacceptable.

These guys need a reality check after the Charlotte game and now this one. They have a target on their backs, they're only 1.5 games ahead of the 8th spot, and nothing is handed to you in this league. This is probably one of the worst defensive games this team has played all season.

What s worse, losing by 1 or losing by 30?
After today's game I say this is much tougher. The Thunder just simply sucked today... If I was Coach Brooks I would be really pissed. They are lucky to have a game tomorrow to make up for this and not having to dwell on it for days.
