Yo Miggs sorry for the GT snatch....had to step up since we only had 1 hour to go.

Anyway this game is a HUGE game, we lose and the Clippers win later tonight we drop to 4th. We win don't matter what the Clips do. Also it's time we give this Thunder team some doubt, win or lose we have to show we can play with them. So far in all the games it's been play well for a half and in the second we look like we forgot our brains in the locker room.

If we control the tempo, rebound and limit the senseless turnovers we can win it. Today is gut check day.

I think the 2nd half has a lot to do with our coach not being able to make adjustments

Damn, our GT's have been really dead lately. Anyways, I hope we win this game, we haven't beaten this team for a while now. This is a really important game as we need to hold onto that 3rd spot. Looking forward to see Kobe and Durant battle for that Shooting title, hopefully Kobe doesn't shoot us out of it

I know. Chalk it up to the early game time I guess.

Srsly, these guys are hitting the nails right on the spot. Gasol and Bynum have to dominate on BOTH ends of the floor. Only playing offense will take us only so far. We need them to step up on both ends and playing with a chip on their shoulders. LEGGO!

Tabo always fouls Bryant on a jump shot, or at least he does it frequently enough to give me flashbacks

Why does our defense suck so bad now?

Our rotations just really need serious work. If you look at the Celtics over the last couple of years or even Miami when they're locked in, all the great teams are on a string and covering for each other. Seems like we always leave someone open somewhere, when that doesn't have to be the case.

Kobe on Westbrook is probably not a good idea at this stage of his career.
