Game Thread: Hornets @ Thunder

Im still exctied that rivers froze westbrook and then scored on him, makes me happy

That Rivers isn't the primary ball handler whenever Vaquez is off the floor, or even sometimes when Vaquez IS on the floor is annoying.

Honestly it's a whole lot easier to enjoy a game when you know the outcome is probably a L.

Westbrook outplayed both of them the past two seasons.. Mannnn Westbrook probably be the only guard that can play the whole game with the same intensity.

That boundless youthful energy will fail him. I wonder how he'll look in another four seasons or so. And he better pray he never sustains a major injury to his legs. His game is entirely dependent on being fast and explosive. There's no real skill at work there.

outrebounded 15-3 that quarter

good job, good effort

So Jason Smith hasn't played yet because...?

Is Durant wearing a watch?

He seemed really hurt last night.

lol mason is off a bit

Vasquez has no interest in passing tonight.

That badly out rebounded, we should be down 25+ points.

Can't risk getting a W tonight.

Mason is a bigger defensive liability than Greivis.

Our best defense is letting Fisher shoot the ball.

lol... You can't be serious.

Vasquez beat on defense off the jump ball. That's pathetic.

Xavier is as good as gone at season's end.

Don't get me wrong, Greivis is a huge liability, but Masons rotations are atrocious. See Keith Bogans last night.

They can be equally awful at defending.

See ricky jackson tonight... I mean he beat vasquez off the jump ball... Vasquez should of been ready for defense knowing Durant was going to win that... Jackson got to the basket in 1.5 seconds. No resistance at all.

Do you ever wonder why Mason, a vet, is very commonly in the Monty doghouse? Greivis is a terrible defender but Roger Mason is a retarded defender.

Miller is in.

I must admit, the biggest head scratcher to me is Miller not playing more.

Though I suspect it's Monty being tough on a second round rookie or wanting to give guys like Henry every chance to prove themselves since Miller will likely be back next year.

Keep Darius Miller on the floor.

That was a sick shot by Durant.

Because its more beneficial for the future of the team to let younger players get more time than a veteran because we arent good. I dont think it has anything to do with Mason being in the "doghouse"

Austin is giving me hope.

He needs to throw one down, I know he can.

Nice drive and scoop, Rivers.

Dude looks comfortable out there now.


So does Martin.

I don't know why this is even a discussion. Mason was never part of the future. Vasquez has been, and we can't continue with his defense.

And he's down. I hate this team.

You're tough, Rivers. Walk it off.

Hadn't even gotten to reading that yet. :hihi: . We play Mason because we have no one else to play.

Is anyone else watching the Georgetown game. It's ****ing awesome.

I respectfully disagree. I believe this team wants to win and will use whatever lineup to win. If we're doing whats beneficial for the future, why isn't AD in the 4th quarter commonly? I don't think anyone understands how bad Roger Masons defense is. It's truly atrocious. But of course, this board focuses on Greivis Vasquez, so he's our worst defender. He's the reason Paul George and Caron Butler dropped 10+ threes.

Did Vasquez just get elbowed in the face by Perkins on that missed 3?

Darius had a wide open shot and he tried to pass it earlier in the quarter almost losing possession. It looked really bad.

We got very lucky there.
