    Either OKC is so poorly coached, or they seriously overlooked us. Completely unfocused half from them. Hope they don't play smart in the second half and we can steal one

    Looks like shit culture. He'd have so much more fun playing with our squad, and prolly win more.

    I thought the Blazers played a good half but damn this OKC team should be better then this. It’s more than the new pieces not jelling yet too.

    It's Westbrook and the coach.

    Loved the way Westbrook gave up on the play after CJ picked his pocket. With his athleticism, he could have made a play at blocking the shot, but he just quit.

    Nurk has 14 & 5 and yet its not good
    well, given hes the mix of Hakeem, Kobe and Nash, I tend to agree

    Some of that was Nurk not finishing but then tipping it back in.

    Footwork and defense. That’s it. People say he has a soft touch around the rim which is true but also misses the easiest of layups because of that touch. He never knows what to do when getting the ball in the post. His mid range jumper needs to go. It’s not a high percentage look. He has a lot of potential but will he ever get there? Who knows.

    He hit two midrange shots this game alone. Much better than Plumlee in that area. Tonight's the wrong night to bash him. He's playing great.

    You know. If that hard on you have for Nurk lasts more than 4 hours, I'd see a doctor.
