This eight game stretch looked to be really tough. I thought that 3-5 would be likely, with a 4-4 split being a great success. After dropping a should-win game at Memphis we stole a game against a depleted Dallas team, and now we go into Houston who will be missing two rotation players as well. A win here would be great momentum to have going into a winnable home game against Orlando, which would secure the 4-4 split.

Low expectation is the key for hapiness.

With No Martin, Miller and Yao there is really no excuse to lose this game. Don't think about tomorrow vs Orlando, come out play hard, stay focused and we will get a win.

Jeff Green made a couple threes, so I guess he's excused from playing defense for the night.

The Thunder must have the worst team defensive awareness in the league. Every possession there are mistakes...

Ibaka out of position for a rebound, Harden ball watching leaving his man open, Green not getting back on defense, Durant getting beat back door twice, Westbrook giving his man the baseline with no help, Maynor giving Lowry middle, Collison playing four feet off Scola.

Just horrible effort.

Westbrook... This is the man.

Harden isn't playing good last games.

What a bad half. No teamwork. Westbrook was just chucking in the second quarter, Durant only six shots in the first half.

Westbrook needs to get back to being a PG and stop forcing his shot so much. Feed Durant the damn ball. If this keeps up, get Maynor in the game.

Wasn't green point all in the first quarter? I think Westbrook really need to run more plays than go for shot. He needs to find the balance that Tony Parker has. I'll be happy if he can go between 8-10 assist and anywhere upwards of 10 pts

Really poor defense in this game. Our team tries hard sometimes on defense but just doesn't play smart enough. Poor decisions and poor awareness.

I thought Green was better shooter than Ibaka,

I knew Ibaka had a good mid range shot. But he's really dropping difficult shots today.

Now I know, Green is not better than Ibaka in every any of the game.

Is Jeff Green going to get a rebound tonight?

You only have 7:35 left in the game Jeff.

Kevin Durant is just so good.

He's really playing himself into more minutes while green is playing himself into lesser minutes

I don't really like that thabo is left open during our offensive set sometimes but when he's getting rebounds like he's having lately. He still deserve 30 mins.
Thabo at PF anyone?

Durant had two terrible possessions, and is still 10-17 for the game.

As long as turnover rate and fg% keeps cool, run team's game and obviously, Thunder is playing fine I really don't care how many assists or points per game he'll average.
