Overall I can't really ask for much more. Hopefully they can hang on and win this game. It would be a real confidence booster especially after the Portland game.

Man... this is totally not what I was expecting. MUCH better though

Jeff Green is a MFin warrior. If only he had consistency on his shot he'd be amazing.

Westbrook is costing us this game. He needs to get his head out of his ass

Westbrook and Durant really cost us the win in regulation.

Agreed. I'm a staunch Kevin Durant supporter but in these last couple games with his shot not falling he's unable to facilitate offense for others and just continues to shoot / turn the ball over. He's 0-7 from three point range on the night, 10-14 from everywhere else, and he goes and shoots up a three pointer. When he plays this way he definitely gives ammunition to those out there who don't believe he's a one dimensional scorer, not a franchise player.

LAL is handing this game over on a platter and nobody can capitalize.

Durant playing horribly

Post #33 » by **slick_watts** » Wed Nov 4, 2009 3:46 am

Kevin Durant is 4-14 from the field with zero FTA in the second half + OT.

FU Durant, you cost us the game plain and simple.

Bricking shot after shot and not even looking for teammates. Playing bad defense etc.........

I guess you want Thabo Sefolosha taking the potential game tying three pointer in overtime. Jeff Green's been unconcious from downtown to start the year, I don't get it.

What a demoralizing way to lose, you can't lose home games like this. I understand Russell Westbrook's growing pains and the fact that maybe he's learning as he goes but Kevin Durant was awful after the first half. What a stinker from him two games in a row.

Great game even if it was a loss.

Someone please tell me Brooks drew up a better play at the end of the 4th that was more than just pass it to Durant set a screen and have him let a three go from about 5 feet behind the NBA arch.

The end of the 4th was so F'n painful. I don't know if the play broke down or if that was all that was drawn up but either way it was freakin horrible.

Two games in a row they are playing very good teams who are missing bigmen and they can't capitalize. I understand that both those team are probably going to be in the Western Conf Finals but they are without their starting PF for Christ sakes.

Sure the brightside is they didn't get blown out by 35 like they were last year at this point but is a win over a good team too much to ask?

I'm not too worried about Durant. He'll shoot his way out of this slump, but it would be nice to see him "make his teammates better" when his shot is clanging off the rim.

LA really did try to give the game to OKC, Lamar Odom even threw up an airball free throw with plenty of time to come down and tie it.

I still think 35 wins is realistic. I would much rather see them make the playoffs though.

I know Thabo missed that open look at the end of OT but damn did he do a number on Kobe. Kobe still got his but Thabo was making him work. Also the charge that Harden drew on Kobe was sweet.

wiff I don't like the one on one KD crap either to end the game, but the way RW was playing he'd probably have turned the ball over himself trying to set something up. Jeff Green's been shooting the ball great I would have liked to see him get a shot.

You know Westbrook and Durant need to stop cooking up so many of these....

These two are a couple of pastry chef's.
They combined for a baker's dozen tonight. Durant had 7, and Westbrook had 6 turnovers.

Against Portland Westbrook had 9.

I know these guys have the balls in their hands a lot but they HAVE to get a grip on it if they want some success this season.
