We lost.....

So for all those who were skeptical, you probably were right.

Anyone catch the game?

Yeah...basically the bench (other than Vasquez) was pretty bad. Then Conley started getting taken advantage of in the fourth by Westbrook because of Westbrook's size advantage.
There was one call that bugged me pretty badly; late in the 4th Rudy took it strong to the hoop, it looked like there was contact (to me it looked pretty obvious) and they called a jump ball. Grizz got the ball back on the tip, but I think it ended up being an empty possession.
Conley blew several (crucial) layups. OJ wasn't very good. Neither was Marc.
ZBo got his 20 and 10. Rudy played alright.
/game.

Durant goes 1-7 from 3 point range and still gets 40 points?

Marc is not the answer at the 5, he's a role player not a building block. And the Grizz badly need a backup 3, the Conley/Mayo/Allen thing was ridiculously small and infective on defense

Two positives I noticed was of course the play of Grevis who should see more minutes when Conley is at size disadvantage. The second is the lost is a direct result of going away from Zach late in games. I hoped the learned from the latter mistake.

I was also very glad to see an even effort throughtout the game as seeing them beat good teams is becoming an expectation.
