Game 6 of 66: Thunder at Dallas.

Dallas are coming off a tough loss to Minesota and should have some fire in thier belly. They also always play us well. We just blew out the Suns and had a day off. I see our young legs running them out of the gym. Thunder by a half dozen. I'm predicting Westbrook plays better than he has been and KD will go for 30 plus.

THUNDER STARTING 5
PG: RUSSELL WESTBROOK

SG: Thabo Sefolosha

Center: Kendrick Perkins

Small Forward: Kevin Durant

POWER Forward: Serge Ibaka

Dallas Starting 5

PG: Old man River

SG: Delonte Face Herpes James

Centre: Big Wood

SMall Forward: The Dominatrix

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitski.

Extra motivation to watch
Hot

Hot hot

Hot hot hot

Thanks for the thread! 6-0 would be awesome. Will have to play better than last game against Dallas to take them on the road.

Tough stretch coming up. Back to back starting tonight, then our back to back to back starting friday.

If we come out of this stretch with atleast a 3-2 record, I'll be happy

Sefolosha and cook out to flu symptoms tonight. Should see Jackson and maybe Hayward get some time tonight.

I read they are gametime decisions. It's nice to see Harden spot start but it's pretty meaningless in the scheme of things, and we lose some depth. Hayward looked pretty awful to me against Phoenix. Would be nice to see Reggie though.

I'm not on the Harden starting wagon persnally. I like that scoring punch off the bench.

Starting off horribly, again. So sick and tired of seeing Thabo starting.

Durant has been out of it since sitting the other night.

Second unit not quite as good without Cook.

It's almost shocking to see how bad this team plays sometimes... even in wins and 'good' games, they often do it playing bad basketball. Our team is probably in the bottom five in team BBIQ and execution in the league top to bottom. I'm trying to think of ways in which the team has made team improvements, as opposed to individual improvements, and I'm struggling to think of any. Still the same problems but the players just keep getting better and better individually that they overcome them.

Ibaka has been frustrating defensively. He's not rotating, he looks lazy almost. Going up for rebounds with one hand, etc.

The defense on the interior after the initial defender got beat has been awful in this game.

Hopefully the second half is where our legs can bring us home strong.

Nobody is moving on offense, defense is lazy. Just one of those nights.

Wow, we look rubbish

Krodis · Post #17 » by **Krodis** » Tue Jan 3, 2012 3:09 am

I don't think running stupid isolations for Durant all game long constitutes an offensive gameplan.

Krodis · Post #18 » by **Krodis** » Tue Jan 3, 2012 3:26 am

Why are we running a Maynor/Jackson/Hayward/Collison/Ibaka lineup?

MASH Transit · Post #19 » by **MASH Transit** » Tue Jan 3, 2012 3:29 am

I've had it with Brooks. Rotations make absolutely no sense.

And Westbrook? About had it with him as well.
