Still he usually makes the right passes and a big part of this run.

I hated that he took it straight to the basket on that one possession. Needs to just drive/dish mostly.

We were never going to stay that hot so need to really defend and take care of the ball. Of course after I mention Lee he makes a great reverse layup (I'm on delay so maybe you saw that before my post).

Eubanks and Saben together at this point of the game is too hard for our offense. 6 down...put everything on the court Vogel.

We need to get Lee out of there and Beal back in. KD getting double and triple teamed..can't have that happen. They barely guard Nurkic too given his shooting/finishing. I wouldn't mind seeing more of Bol Bol.

Yeah, I don't understand why not more Bol...at least he finishes....73% from 2. Eubanks is 61%...Nurkic is 57%.

How does Doris Burke know he didn't intentionally head butt him with the back of his head? I wonder if they challenge that without the announcers talking about it. Someone hearing it probably told them to.

That KD strip at the rim hurt...could have cut it to 5. Under 3 minutes and a 7 pt lead...and if they get the ball back...it will be tough.

What was the point of keeping D Lee if he doesn't play?

We're giving up opportunities for a good possession to try and force the ball to KD when dude doesn't have it....why?

These calls are bogus but the stupid turnovers killed us.

It was a too much but good try. A healthy OKC team is better than us without Book.

We had it until our defensive intensity left the building.

Give the team props for getting the lead after being so far behind but man that 4th quarter execution just ain't there.

KD has no points in the 4th and we're insistent on getting him the ball to iso against a great defense that OKC has thrown at him. It's the same when Book is playing too. We just forget what we've done in the first 3 quarters and start pounding the ball to KD/Book whether or not they are having a good game, in good position or have a good match ups.
