He rolled his ankle over Perkins on the Memphis' first offensive series. I read he re-aggrevated an injry. Not sure about that though.

Positives
+ Ibaka with very solid post defense, and he was a lot more active in general. Hope he keeps it up.
+ Harden with a solid game yet again.
+ Cook is oozing with confidence right now, I love the way he is defending and shooting the 3 ball.
+ Durant was pretty spectacular on offense in the 2nd half. Still needs to work on his defense a bit, but that will hopefully come later in the season.
+ Aldrich looked good defensively and was active. He looks much quicker than last year, great sign. He needs more minutes.

Negatives
- Westbrook with a terrible game. Bad offense, bad passing, bad defense, and a pouty attitude. He needs to get out of his funk soon, and I have confidence he will.

everyone else were decent.

For what it's worth, Westbrook's game today and his attitude on the court was worse than any I've ever seen from Kevin Durant.

I think the coaching staff needs to give Russell some more structured plays in terms of making quick drives and cuts and less of him isolating top of the key.

Agreed.

Brooks ran into some accidental genius last year in the WCF against Dallas when he put Harden at the point and had Westbrook cutting to the basket and such. Dallas had no answer for it and their top tier D was getting gashed. I'd like to see more of that. It emphasizes the strengths of those two and Durant.

Westbrook's been annoying, but I think it's Scott Brooks fault who doesn't give a **** about offense that torch him.

Westy is shooting terribly, last season he would have scored over 22 pts with those shots he took yesterday.

Durant is simply amazing.

please dont call him Westy, it sounds dumb to me.

Westbrook will come back around. Nothing to worry about. 3-0 baby.

Y'all need Jerry Sloan. His offense would be perfect for this team.

We don't need to trade Westbrook. We need a new coach.

I dont really mind having Brooks as coach but we definitely need a new guy to draw up our offence.

We can do no worse than hiring writers like Lowe and Sebastian Pruiti. Reading some of their stuff, it should be plain obvious to brooks that in addition to ball movement he needs his lineup to do more off ball movement.
