Kevin Durant always falls apart in the 4th quarter this year. Its like he mentally checks out, he has no toughness.

You guys played valiantly. However, once Shaq went out you would figure OKC would keep driving and earn it from the line as they were doing while Shaq was in. That's why you guys controlled the pace. Fell in love with the 3 point shot in the 2nd half. Anywho, good game OKC.

LEbron hitting those 3's at the end of teh 3rd killed us. KD tried to start hitting 3's and missed everything. KD and Green stopped driving and were just jacking up bombs. Very disapointed with the final quarter.

Offensive boards were again a big problem. Its virtually impossible to win if you take 25 less shots than your oponent.

KD is amazing...but just to many turnovers. Durant was also by far our worst +/- guy tonight. I tihnk LBJ got in his head?!

Our bench sucked and Westbrook was largely very ineffective again.

In short the inconsistency is going to send me to an early grave. :S

Good game, I was actually quite impressed with your team. What's wrong with Kristic though? He used to give us some fits back when he was swith Jersey.

Good game OKC fans. You guys will be a playoff team, no doubt.

Those three 3's that kept getting deeper and deeper were a huge momentum swing and then Mo's half court for 3 was a killer.

The loss sucks, but this team has come so far though.

Presti has done such an amazing job with this team compared to Wally Walker it is unbelievable.

I'm actually a little pissed right now because of how damn good this team is going to be, and they are now in OKC.

But we knew this stretch of good teams were coming, heck last year the Thunder were already out of the playoffs.

They should be able to weather this stretch and still be close to .500, I think everyone should be incredibly pleased if that is the case.

Defense was excellent for most of the game. LeBron had his best three point shooting game of the season and we kind of got caught up in the moment offensively and stopped going with what worked in the first three quarters.

It was frustrating to watch our guys try to 'get back' at the Cavs and attempt so many long jump shots when we had so much success getting to the rim and attacking their defense. I guess it comes with the territory of being a young team.
