Back to OKC.. important game for the future. We have to show we can win a playoff game, this is the best opportunity.

Jeff Green, James Harden have to play better. No excuse for how Jeff Green is playing offensively.

Hopefully the Ford Center is loud.

I'm pretty worried about this game. I know we played well in game 2, but I hope the players aren't thinking that just because we are at home that we can slack off a bit. We need the same effort on defense and need to be just as focused, maybe even more to pull out the win.

I'm hoping Green, Harden and Maynor get on track.

I'm real excited to have the home court

I'm real surprised that OKC is favored by 3 and a half

OKC wins game 3. It's almost a given.

Since it is at home Green and Harden should play better. Typically roles players play much better at home than on the road. I think it is safe to say if they do anything tonight it will be better than the first two games.

However I am a little concerned about Harden though. His post season experience hasn't exactly lit the world on fire. He completely disappeared in the NCAA tournament and so far he hasn't done squat in the two NBA playoff games.

I hope he isn't the kind opf player that perpetually chokes during crunch time when the bright lights are on.

Still OKC wins game three.

Its not how you start its how you finish son. There is s lot of game left. I'm sure the Thunder take the lead once.

Durant ffs start scoring! 0 out of 7 and 2 PF

Lakers have our offense pegged. We run the same three plays every time down the court. I could draw up a defense to play against us.

Our lack of imagination on offense is what's killing us. We rely so much on Kevin Durant to create offense that everything else is almost atrophied.

I hope harden keeps the pressure on kobe to play D.

3 straight threes by Kobe. Durant is not good tonight, 4 on 1 and he draws an offensive foul? come on... you can do better.. pass the ball atleast

BIG EDDIE · Post #14 » by **BIG EDDIE** » Fri Apr 23, 2010 2:45 am

That's not how I imagined this game to be. Kinda frustrating so far.

BTW, I hate Kobe's cynical smile, disgusting. He shouldn't wonder that people dislike him.

James Harden came to play at least.

Durant is terrible tonight

Finally playing some good ball, need to keep it up for the rest of the series.

This is a huge leap for Scott Brooks keeping Jeff Green out. I like this adjustment. Putting KD on Kobe.. he's showing a lot more flexibility now, and more than he has ever during the season.
