The starters tonight shot 31%

The team as a whole without Harden shot 39%

Yuck.

I think the game recap should just be a blank page.

I dont' think it will take Royce long to get up a recap :O)

We could have one of the best benches in the league if green is ok with being our version of lamar odom by accepting a demotion to the bench for the good of the team

With him, harden, collison, and etan we would have a lethal bench

p.s. I mean this in the most heterosexual way possbible but I am absolutely aroused beyond belief by harden's play tonight

You guys think Harden has earned more PT here?

Washington is looking good against Cleveland, that game is no gimme.

Wow Ibaka has that clueless, deer-in-headlights aura about him

He is overwhelmed and out of his element

It just underscores many people's opinion that the team would be much better with a traditional PF that can finish strong at the basket with contact, etc. Jeff Green struggles mightily when those jumpers aren't going in.

I hope this doesnt't mean that for Harden to play like this every game the rest of the team is gonna have to do that also. :p

@GAP It is concerning that he doesn't play like a Power forward. He also goes to the rim and then at the last minute does a little finger roll or something to avoid contact, instead of going up strong....

wow harden looking mighty delicious out here......PAUSE

Our scrubs kick your scrubs' asses.

See DJ White is cash money.

the anonymous was me

I think Mullens is inactive.

Ollie actually hasn't been that bad as a backup recently. It'd be nice to upgrade there but he's been surprisingly effective especially on defense.

Mullins, Mullins, Mullins.

DJ White flag is in.

I really hope that Weaver can figure out the PG position. He seems to have a defensive presence about him and decent court vision.

i want harden to take a shot on every possession for the remained of the game

Serge Ibaka showed so much energy on those free throws.

Does anyone know why WWLS hasn't streamed the last two games?

Weaver!!!!

!! Kyle Weaver sighting !!

justin :
DON.. Thabo is a terrible shooter. And Jeff Green has fallen head over heels in love with shooting jumpers, which has severely hampered his usefulness.

Be careful criticizing our players, I have been crucified for it on this site

That dude lost his whole beer all over himself when RW smashed into him.

DON.. Thabo is a terrible shooter. And Jeff Green has fallen head over heels in love with shooting jumpers, which has severely hampered his usefulness.

Imagine if we lost to Miami? This would really sting. That win really takes the edge off.

the orlando announcers are commenting on how green is in love with shooting bad jumpers and they also asked "how did sefelosha hit three 3's against us in OKC?", suggesting he is a terrible shooter

White flag????

Excuse me while I run out and slam my head in the door.

this is so ugly

Thabo is shooting 28% from the field in the last five games.

Brooks get a T!

Floppy Punch! :
I want to see Mullens run point. If we’re going to get demolished, it might as well be hilarious.

Excellent Idea. Ollie at Power forward and Mully at PG.

I don't think we will still be #3 in the league in def. rating after tonight.

I want to see Mullens run point. If we're going to get demolished, it might as well be hilarious.

Is Mullens active? I'd love to see him.

Is it time to empty the bench yet? DJ, Kyle, Harden, Iblaka and Mullins. How's that for a lineup?

@Joe
Oh, I know. I'm just willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, considering they've brought it so hard on D in just about every game this year.

It's easy for a young team to get discouraged against a good veteran team when they start bombing all of their 3s.

If we end up getting blown out, oh well, suck it up, get some rest and get a home win on Friday.

This isn't fun.

@dylan

You should read some Aesop, specifically The Fox and the Grapes, regarding the rationalization of failure.

@dylan I hear ya, and you have a point, but I expect more from this team defensively. I can understand if the shots aren't falling, but d is all about effort.

Joe :If you have NBA tv you can catch Brandon Jennings and the Bucks on 762. He’s the hands down rookie of the year right now.

No doubt about that. Its gonna be tough for Griffin when he comes back if Jennings keeps this up. That 55pt game was amazing.

@justin
Thats true but like I said I think Ibaka is playing bc of his energy and inside D. But I do think he is still very young and raw.
I would probably say that we would be winning by 18 @ half if you asked me that before the game.

You have a young team playing its 4th game in 5 days ON THE ROAD vs. a mostly healthy, rested NBA Finals team. I think some of you guys need to take a breath.

If you have NBA tv you can catch Brandon Jennings and the Bucks on 762. He's the hands down rookie of the year right now.

Just because the coach has a reason doesn't always mean it's right, are you following Golden State at all?

D.J. a fairly active player, I hope he gets some run in this game I'd like to see how he does. He's a lot tougher than Nenad Krstic, he likes banging around a little bit. Nenad always looks a little bit offended whenever someone makes physical contact with him.

If I told you before the game that D12 would play 9 first half minutes and Rashard Lewis would be 3-10 from the field, would you believe me if I said we were losing by 18 at the half?

Orlando's Offensive efficiency at half: 135
Thunder's: 95.6..........

Pffft.

I'll say this much for Iblaka, he protects the rim and rotates to help very well, but out of the paint I think he gets lost.
