Huge Game
This doesn’t feel like a regular season game. It means more. I really can’t stand dallas and i hope we bring our best effort. I have a bad feeling about this though.
Another weak start on the defensive end
Frustrating, b/c defense really defined OKC during the winning streak

This is the best the bench has looked in a while
Harden is just so much more comfortable with these guys. Even RJ seems to be a little more settled down. Big 3 from him.

Ibaka is really reading the lane well tonight
that’s his 3rd block on the night

Dude.
Please stop the punctuation crap!
Go Royals, Chiefs and Blues!

I liked the defense in that 2nd quarter
But just a few too many mental lapses, like not blocking out Marion on that last second shot

so pissed
We need to dominate this team on national TV and make a statement that we’re the team to beat. Instead we’re showing that we can’t beat the Mavs

I think there's a mental block against the Mavs
OKC’s defense was outstanding in that 2nd quarter save for about 3 instances where they let JET roam free, but then they would lose focus and give up loose balls or offensive rebounds that made the defensive effort wasted

1st half ---- 3 straight poss we turned over & went to perkins who cant score to save his life!
Wasted poss will bite us in the rear.
true
Perk is better getting his touches within the offensive flow rather than post up iso’s
www.welcometoloudcity.com
If they can keep up the defensive focus, then I say yes
Right now Dallas doesn’t have a lot of offensive options, so OKC just needs to play conservative D and rebound the misses
www.welcometoloudcity.com
And Dirk just doesn't look healthy right now
no lift in his jumping. So OKC must adhere to good fundamentals and not give him free trips to the FT line

Grinding this thing out
defense just need to keep the ball out of Terry’s hands
www.welcometoloudcity.com
RW with the near steal
please don’t tell me the guy he crashed into was holding an iPad…
www.welcometoloudcity.com
not a lot of off-ball movement right now
This is supposed to be the time where Harden with the ball should become critical
www.welcometoloudcity.com
this just looks like an incredibly lazy offense right now
there’s no urgency or crispness to anything they’re doing
www.welcometoloudcity.com
I just don't get it
KD has a guy guarding him who is half his size, and yet KD is setting up 20 feet away from the rim and not attacking

Game OVER ----- It was FUN Not in last 5 mins . Our D won this one

I come in peace...just wanted to no who u guys think is a better PLAYER
D-will or Westbrook
Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...

I like 'em both
D-Will is definitely the more polished player and has been since he came into the league, but RW is an all together different animal. I think Deron can fit into more systems and thrive whereas RW really needs the right system to flourish. I’d probably take RW though, because he has more upside plus he can do a lot of things that Williams can’t, like play great defense and rebound.

Well, that was a rocky ride
but the Thunder got a win they HAD to have. Thx for joining us everyone!
