Best case scenario is to keep this game close but lose by 3 in the end. I'm back on the tank train.

Ugh, another Westbrook WTF. Too much dribbling.

Real good tank effort. Seems like we're fading due to fatigue late. Milwaukee is good, but they could really use a great two guard. Who might have one potentially available?

Milwaukee has no assets to trade for a great two guard, or even a mediocre two guard.

No assets. They gave up their assets for Holiday.

I figured they didn't have much, but that's what they need.

I don't love the Westbeal one-on-five offense, but the dude has been very good this quarter.

Man, Westbrook is just carrying the team down the stretch. He must have 12 points in a row.

Read on Twitter
?s=20

He's 28 and might be a stiff but he's 6-7 with a 6-11 wingspan. Fits their profile.

Milwaukee is switching everything and packing the paint. The best shots available are Westbrook iso's.

Not really great shots unless he has Lopez on him. Boring basketball. Unless he makes it.

I have to give Russ credit, for all the criticisms about him, he's played in the second of a back-to-back without Beal against a good team putting up 42 points and a triple-double. With no Beal and Bertans around him.

I'd like to see a Westbrook/Rui pick and roll to get the switch. Afterwards, let Rui post up the smaller player or Westbrook take the big man one on one.

Excellent game. Good tank loss. Some moral victories. Hachimura had a career game and showed real aggressiveness on offense, and he also pulled down 11 boards.

What did I just watch? :lol:

It blows my mind that Scott Brooks is still a NBA coach.

It's been brutal for a while. 11 of our last 12 games were against teams currently with a .500 or better record.

That would be nice instead of one-on-five. Another player scoring 40+ points and another L.
