Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Clippers 01/30/2012

Should be a fun game. I think it's important to set an offensive tone early in this game and not get into a hole. Clippers don't really play defense...

Well, after that first quarter, could be worse than down 11.

Missed the start. Why is Thabo out?

They're playing a man with:
Billups
Williams
Foye
Butler
Jordan

Get Collison/ Perk in there and work the high-low. If you can drag out Jordan we should be able to have as many attempts as we want on the o-boards.

After doing so well to close it up, what a sloppy close to the quarter.

From a 6 point margin to a 18 point margin in a minute and a half....

Horrible offense and no transition D....argh

This team's biggest enemy is its own lack of focus. It seems ever since the 2009-10 season (when the team won more on focus and determination than talent), focus has waned and the team is more prone to extended periods of lax play.

So much wrong with this game right now. Sort of a microcosm of the season for me. Watching Perkins barely get up for a rebound and give up an offensive board to Griffin then helplessly challenge him at the rim on that dunk later annoys me. He's been such a disappointment.

It's only one game but it's tough to envision this team winning a title or something with so many weaknesses.

Outside of KD & Russ, our next best scorer thus far is Collison on 4pts!!!!!

anybody's watching this ? I can't believe how bad our defense is right now. without Sefolosha this team doesn't exist defensively.

Man, that was brutal.

What has happened to our defense? I miss Ron Adams

Are we like 0-3 with sefolosha not starting.... :cry:

Overall terrible game, clippers couldn't miss a 3 pointer and only Westbrook and Durant came to play.....

Hopefully they learn from this and get better...

Sefolosha started vs Dallas but got injured and was benched in the 2nd half (played only 8 mins). he didn't play the next game against Portland. he didn't play tonight. in these games OKC gave up 100, 103 and 113 pts. Thabo is one of the best defenders in the NBA and should be playing more mins. he will play more in the playoffs, hopefully, and it's gonna be fun to watch him go h2h vs Kobe and LeBron... but without him in the lineup I'd expect OKC to struggle defensively.

what a crappy loss, the guys decided they didn't want to play defense tonight for some reason....

No Defense from Westbrook to Perkins.

From a Nuggets fan, thank you for making the Mozgov dunk #2 on Griffin's resume.

Why is this forum a friggin ghost town? You guys are #1 in the West. OKC fans are pathetic. Atleast Seattle showed some love.

I would say mainly just lack of knowledge of the RealGM site's existence more than anything else. I think OKC's support of the Thunder has been pretty well documented between players talking about the crowd involvement to the recent GM survey results ranking it as the toughest place to play. It's really just that of all of the Thunder fans I know around town, I'm not sure there's a single one that has even heard of this site.

Why would success matter on if people post on an internet forum?

Besides that, its Oklahoma. Most people don't have internet, computers, electricity, indoor plumbing etc
