    ET trying a behind the back dribble in traffic = less than ideal.

    That defense has been eating us alive all game. They are completely in control.

    You gotta love how this team shrinks and folds against pressure defense. Its pathetic.

    0 ball movement, 0 productive player movement, super sloppy with the ball.

    Do we have 20 turnovers yet?

    Starters: holding on by their teeth
    Bench: big negative +/-

    For those who are on here way too much, this is what I was talking about. :(

    They should give CJ a goal of getting a assist in this game.

    That was on ET and Nards tho.
    ET should've accepted the screen, but Nards brought a second defender to the ball only to stand and watch because ET was attempting to go one on one.

    OKC is playing better Defense than Utah did.

    Seriously considering turning this game off.....

    Teams I don't want to see in the playoffs: Utah, Golden State, and OKC.

    Pressure Defense: Synonym of Playoff Defense.

    Guys starting to try and do it on their own. Not going to win that way.

    Credit to the Thunder though. They've been excellent defensively all game and hitting big shot after big shot.
