So far, the Thunder were shooting lights out with our subs in. We limited Durant, but Fisher hit just about every shot he took. We left him open for the most part, but he continued to hit with a hand in his face. We slowly attained the lead at the half after two good shots by Pondexter and a crazy offensive rebounding possession. (where we must have grabbed 4 or 5 offensive boards in a row)

My concern is that we will not be able to contain Durant and that their hot shooting will continue. Our starters are fairly well rested, which is a very good thing imo and might have factored in in the game 1 loss.

lack of effort. lack of awareness. this is playoffs round2. If the Grizz are for real we'll see them run out this 2nd half. I am a huge Reggie Jackson fan and Kendrick Perkins. I respect the Thunder but they look like they are the Sacramento Kings out there in this series. We need to win big tonight.

This game is a scary one. We did not do a good job on our perimeter defense. That led to big shots made by the Thunder in the second quarter. They have to tighen up in the second half and take advantage of mismatches.

They are playing real sloppy. If they don't find some consistancy in this game, this could be another close loss.

Our FT shooting has killed us in this quarter. Randolph missed two at one point. Prince cannot make a play with the ball in his hands whenever he is pressured. We are up, but we have a dominant advantage in the post.

Conley is extremely intelligent at reading the defense. When they rotated the ball quickly on the help, he found the gap pretty effortlessly.

Tony Wroten should never play in a playoff game. Like I have said, he is horrible.

Wroten has the right idea, but he keeps getting stripped.

On Q-Pon, is it me or he's trying too hard for what he feels responsible for the other day?

That was a complete joke to call that a three point shooting foul. He hadn't picked up his dribble.

i have been a really devoted fan since 2003 or so. I have had to live through really bad moments. but it wasn't that bad because you realized we were the biggest underdog. we had no shot and it was obvious. But this is not acceptable. In this case we are the better team and we're getting beat like the Knicks, or Lakers. We're getting "out-underdogged". this is not what I signed up for
