Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Denver Nuggets 12/25/10

[slick_watts]

Green's terrible shooting has caused foul trouble for Ibaka.

'
Also his presence at PF creates mismatches for Denver on offense.

It's a joke that he is still playing these minutes on this team. We'd be so much better if he was benched and playing 30 minutes or less.

Another great 2-9 half by Uncle Jeff

[slick_watts]

Jeff Green: 21 first half minutes
James Harden: 10 first half minutes

[slick_watts]

Green and Thabo should not be starting. Thabo isn't much of a better defender than Harden, and Green is just awful.

I would like to see aldrich on Nene.

Durant could be on for a career high. Just unstoppable.

Yep. It's sad though that with that game we're only winning by two possessions against a Melo-less Nuggets team.

[Sinant]

Isn't Durant's career high 55 or so?

I doubt he can have two 20 point quarters in a row

nah 48 i think but he's had that a few times, he's only taken 26+ FG's like 4 times in his career so he doesn't ever score that high

I want to say its 48.

[slick_watts]

Unless the game is real close down the stretch I don't think KD will score that much, looks like Denver is doubling on the touch.

I am so excited by how Harden is playing. I want him to start so bad.

[slick_watts]

We're probably going to close this game with Ibaka / Green down the stretch or Collison / Green but we'd have much more of a chance to win if Green was benched and we went to Ibaka / Collison.

[slick_watts]

Thank God we're going to win this and we don't waste this game by KD. Incredible performance.

[Trip]

I have to say that I'm suprised that 44 is the high mark for the league so far.

[Hobes]

Is that so? This time last year there were already like 7-8 50+ point games.

I'm still baffled as to why Green played over 39 minutes and Harden received just 28. I mean I guess that's a 2 minute improvement from his normal rotation, but with the way he was playing why sit him?

[boobie miles]

Awesome performance from KD in primetime. 44 points on 83TS%- Yikes!!! He's erasing those early season percentages really quick. We'll have to wait to see him crack 50- he simply doesn't jack up enough shots.

Another good night from Harden. He has been playing consistenly well of late and should be getting 30+ minutes.

[moximus]

Westbrook still jacked out 19 shots with horrible %. There were couple of possession he flat out ignored Durant when was hot and open! Russ gotta play smarter.

defense has definitely been better this season, shooting %'s are down across the board and nah I don't think there were 7-8 50 point games all season

[Hobes]

I don't think there were 7-8 50 point games all season

Correct, there were only 2 after 30 games - Brandon Jennings and Melo's. Don't know what I was thinking of .

I guess I was thinking of the 06-07 season when 7 50+ point games had been achieved by this point .
