Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warrios 04/11/10

Can't afford a let down. Portland's leading the Lakers by a point right now with Brandon Roy out the second half. They're right on our heels and we have to take care of business against a depleted Warriors team.

[BIG EDDIE]

As a matter of fact, we need to blow them out, so that we have enough energy for tomorrows game at Portland.
So this is critical, please take it to them hard!!!

Whats the status on Nenad? Is he playing?

I'm interested to see how the defense plays. 2 games in a row the D was solid, lets see if they get caught up in GS pace and starts to rush.

perfect start 31-13 after 7 mins. great play by the thunder

[old rem]

Durant has been scary good. The Curry/Westbrook match is interesting. Both will be among the best of the West,though they are quite different. GSW's guys have seemed a bit worn down lately,a few less injuries,more depth would have helped a LOT. Tonight,Monta is back...but so far very rusty.

Interesting game between teams that should both be contenders in a few years.

I don't like how this team plays after building a big lead. We ease off and get too cute offensively and relax the effort defensively. Our lack of a killer instinct has bitten us in the rear before, and it could in games like this too. We need to build a lead here so we might rest the starters for tomorrow in Portland.

I want to see them carry the intensity the whole game and keep focus no matter the context of the game.

20p lead became 12 p lead in just one minute. I hate when this team gets in bad periods, they take stupid decisions and just keep missing shots

[slick_watts]

Very frustrating second quarter. Durant and Harden played well all throughout but Russ, Green, Maynor, Ibaka.. incredibly sloppy and lazy.

I hate how this team plays with a lead. No killer instinct, no intensity. Brooks has to get it through the heads of these guys that NO LEAD is safe in the NBA and the focus has to be there for 48 minutes. Especially Russ and Green. Both were terrible in the 2nd quarter.

[AI Impact]

3 parade in the 3rd quarter.

[slick_watts]

This is a complete joke. We're just letting the Warriors take open shot after open shot. Kevin Durant and Thabo have been ridiculously bad defensively on rotations / closing out. Nick switching onto Monta Ellis behind the three point line is baffling.

[23MJ]

3 parade in the 3rd quarter.

Im not surprised as the thunder players doesnt challenge GS threes. Terrible to lose 20 point lead to a team like GS when they have nothing to play for. just terrible. I dont trust this team at all. Sooner or later theyll end up losing most games by a big margine.

[23MJ]

Harden sucks

[23MJ]

OKC has 30 more shots than GS and only 4p ahead.

[23MJ]

I smell a loss

[23MJ]

terrible

[old rem]

Monta's D on K Durant has been major. Durant was a beast in the first half.

...how bout those scrappy D league guys?

[23MJ]

STOP ELLIS FOR **** SAKE. HE LOOKS LIKE A SUPERSTAR AGAINST OUR **** DEFENSE

[23MJ]

I would trade Westbrook for Ellis anyday. Ellis find ways through the defense while Westbrook runs into defenders

[Jimmy76]

our offensive efficiency is murderous
