Must win game IMO. Lose this one and we could easily fall into a 5-6 game losing streak. Detroit's going to play us tough after we took it in their house. Let's hope the effort is there.

Will fill in a game thread later on.

Keys to the game:

Keep Stuckey out of the lane
Get Durant 25 shots against a poor frontline
Limit Westbrook's bricking, cause he won't hit a high % vs. Stuckey

Man I just erazed a huge post on this game. DAMN I hate it when that happens! Anyway if you have league pass, go back and watch the 4th. Chewy and Harden owned the 4th. It was nice to see the rookies come up huge.

I think it is safe to say Harden could run the point if he wanted to. Ibaka added a really solid game and he has to be making Jeff Green sweat. I'd love to see Ibaka get a game to start. Bring Jeff off the bench. He would really be an ideal 6th man. And I don't think Etan will be seeing many minutes any time soon.

But back to Harden, It's nice to have a guy in the back court who can balance Russell although in fairness Westbrook is improving.

And the third isn't to bad either.
