Re: Game #37 Thunder at Magic ....
I'm starting to back off the "fire Stan bandwagon". because he doesn't have the talent around him, and, I'm starting to see it more... especially after the whole Monta Ellis debate. I still have a problem with his ****ty rotations and him giving Duhon significant minutes, but, he is still a good coach for the trash we have here.... hopefully we won't have to see this team (and GM) for much longer...

Wouldn't this in theory expedite any trade or move? Otis was right there watching this meltdown occur in the 4th quarter... all troll smiles and all
it shouldn't have to come to that. if we can''t get ellis or nash i think we look to trade dwight.

edit* we also barely defeated the Wizards last night... one of the worst teams in the NBA
If we make a move, than yes, it is a blessing. if not, then hell no!

im disappointed in the closer and the #2 greatest efficiency option in the league for not being able to close the game out

I've had it with Otis' poker face. I want to punch it.

Re: Game #37 Thunder at Magic ....
from what i remember from the game wasn't Ryan on the bench for quite a while because KD was at the 4? I don't remember Ryan really getting any looks...plus we call no plays for him....put a body on him and you can take Ryan out the game....damn shame our second best player doesn't have designed plays to get him going when his bread and butter isn't working....

What a pathetic effort by this squad in the 4th. To dominate pretty much 75% of the game and then come into the 4th and say, "Well I give up.". Just pathetic. And they have had a lot of games like that this year. Maybe if the Howard situation wasn't around, this team wins those games.

Not so much as gave up, but Durant really just took over. He was unstoppable. If there was ever a performance that was Jordanesque, Durant just did it.

Scott Brooks took Ryno out of the game, going with a small lineup and Durant at the 4. SVG countered with Turk at the 4 and Durant went off. Why not have tried having Von, Earl or Liggins defend Durant some in that 4th qtr ? One of those 3 might have done a better job than Turk did.

Another tough home loss that I attended. Otis was very animated while watching this game (doubt the cameras showed any of it) as I could see it all from even the upper bowl.
We move on. 23-14 is still very good.
