Game Thread: Dubs @ OKC 1/17/14 630p tip off

[NBKLee]

Roll call, anyone online? Or y'all stuck in Bay Area traffic?


MM you out there? You've been MIA these last few days, what you do you think about the TD / JC+ MB trade? On paper I like it, but i'll take a wait and see approach.



No RW for OKC = Dubs win easily right? LOL

 

[NBKLee]

Err...OKC shoots 78% from the field, yes from the field in the 1st quarter.

Dubs down 39-32. Its going to be a long night if we don't get more stops.

No defense for Durant. Curry/Thompson playing well. D needs to step up in the 4th. Loving the Crawford acquisition.

 

[UgOtBuCkEd21GoRe]

Too many damn turnovers!!! Frustrating! And can't rebound. Bogut needs to improve his FT. 36 % is absolutely ridiculous.

The way Durant was scoring over Iguodala all night, we should have just thrown Klay/Steph/Crawford out there together.

Iguodala going 1-8 didn't help much tonight

With his elbow not giving full range of motion, I wish he would try Rick Barry's underhanded method, it couldn't be much worse.

 

[UgOtBuCkEd21GoRe]

Durants shots were contested. He was on and couldn't stop him. One of those nights. Curry kept them close. OKC just made more shots. Iggy was off and couldn't stop KD. OKC was at home and without RW you thought it would be a win. But Durant was on fire and Ibaka/Jackson played extremely well. Crawford played better than I expected so Iam pleased moving forward.

Barnes looks lost to me.

Barnes looks lost to me.

That could be the theme for the 1st half.

I don't know if its lasting effects from his injury, if its just psychological, or if he's just regressed permanently, he doesn't look like the same player from the Playoffs.

Adding a bonafide scorer such as JC is going to only cut into HB's minutes aswell.

I wonder if its time to move him to upgrade the roster? Selling low is never good.

NBK

He does not have a feel for the game and can sometimes be mechanical. He has most of the necessary tools but can not put it together. I would look to move him for K. Faried or Tristan Thompson. Both are very good dynamic PFs but neither are starting material.

They are playing like last year's team. Until they decide to at least attempt to play defense, this is going to continue to happen.
