Good half.

Yeah, really can't be mad after that half given the circumstances.

Hope Tatum, Rozier and Monroe can carry us in the 2nd half as well.

I'm expecting Nader to go OFF as well  8)

Even if Nader isn't a 'real' NBA player (not sure what that means when he has a contract) I don't get the unending infatuation that some of us have in railing on him.  Everything is always nader's fault.  Even if other guys make the same mistakes and contribute less.  (rant off)


You must have been ahuge Bass fan  :D

Like everyone else here I'm happy with the half.  The 2nd quarter was a great effort.

But Horford has 0 points and only 1 shot attempt.  Nader has 7 shot attempts.  You know what I'm getting at.  There's minimal chance we win this game without Horford stepping up.

Yeah I don't bash Horford and I do agree he's valuable to this team, but likewise he seriously needs to step up in games like these.

Hate to say it, but I agree that there seems to be a trend where when we go up against elite teams, Horford's impact seems to go down. Been that way the past month, and it's unfortunate with all the injuries piling up as well.

Still think he's an all-star talent and could help us a ton in the playoffs, but tonight, we need MORE from him if we want to win.

Ugly end to the half, but a very good second quarter overall. I'm shocked they're still in it.

That’s on Al to get more involved ! Nader took mostly open shots- missed unfortunately

Yeah, it's a pretty easy equation for OKC - defend the All-Star, leave the D-League guy open. Still, though, Al really needs to step up. His effectiveness seems to only really shine when he is playing with other stars...and the 3 by Horford!!

Good Lord, Al, how do you continuously miss wide open layups?

Poor OKC not having Roberson. It is sad to see a team so decimated by injuries not being able to play defense effectively  :(

One of the best shots this offense has are Horford threes and he isn't taking them??
