Hopefully Anthony Brown learned something from how Kobe defended Durant in the 4th.

Good game horrible finish, not sure if Kobe should of expected a foul on that shot, generally not going to get a hip ride called if the defender keeps away from your hands.

Still much much better than the first two games against OKC. good game for Williams and great to see Clarkson hit a big time clutch shot. That was a full 48 minutes of quality ball against a tough team. Actually a bit surprised seeing it comes on the second night of a B2B

Perfect tank game.

Lou Williams really helped himself tonight. His stock has got to be pretty high. I still do think he is a midget chucker, but he's a pretty good midget chucker. Can't play point for you, but he sure can get hot.

In the past few weeks, guys like Nance, Clarkson, Russell, Bass, and Lou really became good assets. We've got some pieces now, heading towards the trade deadline.

Last two games are games where I've seen growth in the youngins and a style of ball I kinda expected us to play out the gate. But more importantly the young bucks are growing, they still have a ways to go but the mistakes I see now are minuscule. I glad most of all for A.Brown, because he seemed to be a first a project for next season.

He still hasn't had a very big offensive output but that's not what his schooling needs to be, he's been put on the floor to defend first and whatever shots he hits are just gravy. He did a decent job on KD during that stretch where they we're coming back.

Would've love to win these last two games but it's asking too much to ask five 20 something kids to close out experienced vets.

I sadly like games like this. they're exciting to watch with the young guys developing albeit an injured d-lo and we end up with the dagger in the heart late in the 4th. Young guys show great heart with some help from our FA signings. Great for the tank!

It's games like these I hate living in Europe. Just woke up... :banghead:

God tank win, though. Wow Lou! His trade stock must be pretty high now. Worried about Randle... He's got to figure out his offensive approach.

Might not watch the remaining games this season because the other 5 that I've watched have been wins. Forthetank! :lol:
