I really hated that Nate benched Dre late in the fourth. We completely went away from what was working on offense yet again.
 
Btw, this is the second game Serge Ibaka owned LMA.

The last game LMA had 20 first-half points with Jeff Green and Nenad Kristic on him. The second half OKC adjusted and put Serge on LMA and was shut down.

We have nobody that can even slow down Westrook except for maybe Armon Johnson. Miller is a defensive liability. If you cant see this, then I can't help you gain a BBIQ.

How does one attain a BBIQ?
 
And FWIW, KD looked amazing tonight, but he is usually the one that chokes in fourth quarters. Unfortunately, he's beaten us twice late in games this season.

Man, it was more Westbrook. He's the guy who has killed us with late buckets in the last two games, although Durant was definitely killing us too.
 
I hate Westbrook's game (he plays a PG version of Maggette), and he definitely was killing us too, but he got that last drive because we were forced to double KD.

You obviously don't know much about Rudy's late game history.

He's never hit a big time basket in the final 30 seconds of a game for us. He has taken them though. Ican think of three games off hand where he took the game tying or game winning shot for us and missed. I don't care what he did in Europe. This is the NBA.

What?
 
6-4. It is what it is. I don't think this is going to be a happy season for us. I'm preparing myself for it now.

I think the difference tonight wasn't Westbrook and Durant, it was those key shots by Krystic that kept the Thunder in the game. Westbrook and Durant are studs so they're gonna get their numbers. But when we were trying to pull away, Krystic hit those WIDE OPEN jumpers just to keep them close.

Sorry, I forgot the comma... I didn't mean fuck Rudy... I meant Fuck, Rudy.... I thought that was going down.

Aha. That makes sense. I actually liked what I saw from the Blazers tonight, outside of the interior game.
 
How about Roy, tonight? He looked a bit tentative about driving inside early, but he looked like his old self late in the game. I loved his put backs. I don't think there is another guard in the NBA (except maybe Vince) who has that skill of following up his own shots by quick jumping and impeccable timing.
 
They don't look a tier above the Blazers.

Just wait until we get the mythical production of Oden!
 
I thought we played great.

Home crowd made the difference in the end.
