Agreed. They really need to trade Jeff Green and get a real PF.

I only saw the second half but we looked really good. If Matt Bonner is hitting 7 of 7 3ptrs then we are doing something right offensively.
Really good team effort, our defense looked the best I've seen in a while. Hope we can keep up the standard.

Re: GT: Spurs vs. Thunder
Defense didn't look good for the Thunders and I'm not sure why, but they were pretty good defensively last year and it should come back. They really have no post up game. IMO if you switch Jeff Green to a low post scorer like Boozer or Zach Randolph, they'd be much much better. Jeff Green plays too much in the perimeter.
Anyways, didn't have time to comment on the game but i did watch it.
The bad thing is that we sucked defensively in the 1st half. If it wasn't for our own hot shooting (or Thunder's poor defense considering Parker and Manu just get to the rim EVERY SINGLE TIME), we would've been down by a huge amount.
2nd half was really good. I thought RJ played really good defense on KD and the whole team sort of locked into KD and cut off penetrations. Westbrook was able to get to rim quite a few times, I don't know if it was end of 3rd or start of 4th.
Nothing was particularly bad in this game. we kept our turnovers down. We made shots. Duncan had an off night again but the team didn't really go to him much, instead they use him as a pick setter most of the time on P&R. Considering Manu and Parker got to the rim at will, they're no reason to waste Duncan's energy and post him up right? Don't know but who cares.
