If you look at the boxscore, Denver really didn't out play us that horribly. Their only huge advantage was on the free throw line. Both teams shot poorly, turned the ball over a lot, etc.
We need James Harden to be consistent on offense if we're going to win games like this. Our offense screeched to a grinding halt when we dipped into that bench, and our starters not named Kevin Durant all let us down. A good shooting night by either Nenad Krstic or Jeff Green, and this is probably a close game.
I know Russ is drawing a lot of ire, but I'm most disappointed in Jeff Green in this one. He seemed to play great on offense against Cleveland until that fourth quarter and really didn't do much in this game.

Re: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Denver Nuggets
I just watched it on league pass.
Honestly I think Serge fully stunk up the mile high air. That guy played like donkey crap and I'm one of his biggest fans. His plus minus from last night was the worst on the team.
For the most part, the game was pretty even except in the second quarter when Serge came in. They went backwards when he was in last night. You could see him forcing it.
He'll bounce back. So will the Thunder, but this stretch is going to be pretty brutal. They really need a win against Detroit. That is a game they can clearly win if they bring some energy.
Westbrook could help out and hit a hot stretch here for a while. Same with Green. Hopefully the law of averages, average out with Green's 3pt shooting. Because he shot a lot better from down town last year.

wiff I think we are seeing law of averages at work with Green and Durant. I don't think either of them are as good from 3pt range as they showed last year. Both will probably end up at 33-35% imo.
