Let up on the gas toward the end, there. The same kind of defensive breakdowns we've been seeing all year on the perimeter, but the Cavs have made some tough shots too.

Collison's playing much better today. Love how Harden is playing, hitting that mid range jumper is so important for him.

Except for that 3 minute stretch to end the half, we have been extremely focused and playing with tons of energy, great to see. Durant getting a bit fiesty too which is nice.

Angry Durant is always great. He's much more aggressive.

Great win, our focus and energy were there all night. We are improving and that is really all you can ask at this point in the season.

Durant shooting 47/38/92 and averaging 29.5 ppg 7.5 rpg 3.3 apg and 1.7 blk per 40 since coming back from injury

he seems to be rounding back to form

as bad as it seems like we've played this season, we're 17-8 and leading the division. last season at this point we were 12-13.

Expectations are just that much higher this season.

People expected the Thunder to be a Top 3 seed immediately, Durant to start challenging for best player in the world, things that just were not realistic for this team, this season.

I'd say 17-8, tied for 4th seed and division lead with Utah is pretty great. Right about where I expected this team to be.

I'd say that we have underperformed and are still at that point with Durant playing like crap the first 15~ games
