Horrible defense to close this game. Westbrook was terrible defensively, wasn't even trying.

yikes what a close

[Sinant]

Durant with his first win in Houston.

Jeff Green with another 0 rebound game.

[Clangus]

Green with another monster rebounding game.

As long as turnover rate and fg% keeps cool, run team's game and obviously, Thunder is playing fine I really don't care how many assists or points per game he'll average.

If he's looking to pass more he'll take less of those bad shots. With point guard and Westbrook himself being high usage, if he keep shooting , we'll usually disintegrate into those non Passing team. Durant will want to shoot when he has the ball cause he might not see it again for a few possession.

I think tonight was interesting going by shots/min
Durant=2.3 mins
Green=1.86 mins
Westbrook=1.95 mins
Krstic=2.5 mins
Ibaka=2.9mins

I'm not sure why green and Westbrook should be taking shot that often.

I don't think it's all Westbrook's fault he takes too much shots. Scott Brooks just don't have playbook to run, so Westbrook carry the burden to create all the game, it's not fair.

I think his fg% is fine, but could be like 5% better.

id like westbrook to try distribute more and turn to his own shot less often

more important than that he needs some kind of touch around the rim

I missed the game, but I second that notion. I'd really love to see Harden emerge as a true number 2 option.

[fallacy]

man, if all i did was just read the posts from this board I would never think that we are the 6th best team in the NBA.

Just think that if we had a center, Jeff Green played only 20-25 minutes, Harden and Ibaka regularly played 30 minutes, Kevin and Russell didn't turn the ball over 4 times a game each, had a coach that even vaguely could form decent rotations, Sefolosha played less, and the team played anything resembling defense.

All those problems and we're the 6th best team in the NBA? Damn Kevin Durant is good
