I don't care about the final score when playing in Denver, no matter how good they are it's a freaking tough place to win and we still managed to pull it out. Disappointing Cam went cold, only because this could've been his best all around game otherwise.

They avg. 105 a game at home and put up 122 vs GSW a week ago. After a 31 point first, that was great defense. And the first they just couldn't rebound.

Shot under 20 percent from 3 in Denver and won, that's a fine W by me.

Also, watched the game away from the computer and the game threads read like a group in anger management :lol:

And, I'll say it....I like this Kyle Singler. He's been solid, if he keeps this up I'm good w/ him.

Man, the guy is like having orgasm and feeling it on every inch of his body.
You can tell he loves the game.

Russ's stat line was better than I thought, it felt like he shot worse. Same for KD, both were better.

He has played his best two games of the season back to back. Tonight he worked Gallo HARD, and Danillo is a tough cover, he uses every bit of his size to get into good spaces.

That said, his best two games includes one where he had as many fouls as points in 22 minutes :lol:

What an ugly win, this garbage won't fly against good teams.

The Nuggets at home ARE a good team right now. Lost to us by 6, beat Indy, lost to Miami by 2, beat Golden State, beat Cha, lost to Portland, and lost to Cle by 6. Portland is the only poor game they've played in their last seven at home.

That was without Mudiay right? They are much worse with Mudiay's awful spacing.

SA, Cavs, and GSW are not going to close out on 3s and go over screens all game against one of the 3 worst shooters in the NBA. 39% TS..... gave him enough space to get off nine dimes. Ran him off the 3pt line several times, even fouled him for FTs on one of these closeouts.

Several amatuer mistakes, horrible shot selection, and unneccessary turnovers.

They were 16-25. 12-15 w/ Mudiay, 2-10 w/o. So they've been better in games he plays, including the recent games spearsy highlighted. That's a pretty good team, and very good at home.

He played against GS, Mia, Indy and us. I'm not sure about Cha, and he missed the other 2. Still, they're just playing really well right now.

And yeah, I was annoyed at the insistence of going over screens, but I'm assuming Billy will make adjustments when he feels the team is comfortable playing the way he wants them too. At least I hope he will, I haven't seen him switch the defense up yet this season
(not quite true, there was one game he switched Robes onto a pg, but besides that...)

Last time we played Denver, I believe Gallo and Mudiay were both out.

Somebody petition to the White House to deport Waiters. Just get him out of OKC.

Oh and shoutout to Adams: 9.8/6.6 on 71 TS% with an ORtG of 133 and an DRtG of 103. He has the highest On/Off-Rating of any Thunder player in January (+30.1).

Let's keep leaving Kemba open for 3s.

What an awful 2nd quarter. INstead of being up by 15-20, which the Hornets gave us every opportunity to do, we mess around and let this awful team keep hanging around with us and it's a 7 point game at the half.

Oh, and what a brilliantly awful possession to end the half. Durant dribbles around for 15 seconds, a double team comes, he throws it Adams who skips it to Russ who, with still 8 seconds left on the shot clock, dribbles up and shoots a pull-up three that barely draws iron.

Hey Russ, you're a terrible 3P shooter and that's two you've either airballed or almost airballed short tonight...QUIT SHOOTING THREES!
