And then he hits a 3 to start the fourth quarter.


Still. The offense is terrible without Russ. Payne needs to play if we want to have a chance from here on out.

Russ forces up a contested postup right after Durant throws up a 3 with Harris in his nose

We're still up by 20 with 8:30 to go in the game, but our fourth quarter offense has looked like hot garbage again.

Waiters hits a three at the end of the shot clock to push the lead up to 21, but it was still an ugly possession.

We're not moving, like at all. I just don't get it. This wasn't happening with 8 minutes to go under Brooks.

Kanter and Waiters have been great tonight.

Raymond Felton in this series has looked like he did that one or two year stretch where he was a good NBA player and like he did when he was an All-American at UNC.

Ok, up 21 with 6:12 to go. I know we've had our fourth quarter woes all season, but surely not even we can blow this...right?

This game isn't encouraging at all.

Durant's had, like, 5 shots rim in and out tonight.

Garbage time. Time for the Mavs to start making garbage shots, I guess.

Billy also needs to pull everyone. We're up by 28 with 4 minutes to go. We're good.

This last two games felt like those typical mid-season games for the Thunder. They know they're better than the opposing team and are playing like that, ie giving just enough effort to pull out the win, but that's it.
