Houston @ OKC 

Post#1 » by dream_catcher_9 » Sat Jan 7, 2012 12:21 am

wont be around till after the game ends, but we really need this one to get our confidence back a bit. I think we will win by 10 and lead throughout. Guys will be fired up.

Hard to complain about the first half. I do wish Harden and Collison would like, give a class on offensive basketball to our starters though.

Let's move Durant to PG, Westbrook to the 2, and Harden to the 3.

The only thing I really took away from this game is that Ibaka can hit a 3-pointer. Whoa.

He's a good player, there just wasn't any room for him in OKC. He's been putting up numbers like that all season.

really good effort tonight, just what we needed after the past 2 sluggish outings. Even if they had Lowry we still would of won IMO. We were ready for this game.

Harden continues to amaze me, he looked like he was about to fall asleep out on the court, but still scored 23 with absolute ease. Durant with a bounce back game, loved the way he was aggressive and passing. His effort on defense was real good too even when up by 20.

Really everyone had a good game, nothing to complain about tonight. Hopefully we will have a similar effort tomorrow night, all i can ask for.

Agree with everything except I thought Durant got lost way too much on defense.

Durant tries to help too much and leaves his man open.

If you think Durant does that a lot, I'd hate to see how often you think Westbrook does it.

Durant does it way more off the ball, and he gets 'lost'. Westbrook will sometimes (often) over pursue the passing lanes and stuff, but he doesn't get caught in la-la land as often as Durant does.

They are both fundamentally mediocre defensively.

Watched only part of the game, seems quite nice movement after all those previous ball stopping.


Mind went blank after seeing Mullens stats line. Good move for him, he can actually start earning his next contract if he continue to do that.

Not sure why we traded Mullens if he's posting numbers like this.
