Great, entertaining game.

Will be interesting to see how we fare against Brooklyn. Really hoping to see a competitive series at least.

I'm loving the play-in tournament so far!

I'll love it even more if the Lakers lose tomorrow.

that would be so sweet.  love the thought of Bron losing out so early

Tatum is scary. Look out NBA!!!!!

Tatum brought his A+ game tonight

Best game of the year. Even better than 60 pt game imo

Man Payton is in the doghouse.

As he should be. Ish Smith was destroying him. Can't allow that in playoff games.

A little over 4 minutes and only -1.

This isn't how +/- works. 

It's not an indicator of single-game individual performance.  It's only useful over a much larger sample, and even then it's noisy.

this was exactly what folks said before the draft. prtichard's biggest weakness in the nba will be against really quick guards.

i love pritchard, but he has real trouble on defense against really athletic guards.

He didn't even really play. How did he get Distroyed?

He got destroyed plenty in those 4 minutes. Ish looked like an all-star against him. If Stevens had gone back to him and allowed Ish to kill us again in the second half, this place would be going nuts with people calling for him to be fired.

Give Brad credit, he made the right call. I like Pritchard, but this was not the right matchup for him.

Jayson scores with reckless abandon

I liked the way Langford and Nesmith played today

Two long/athletic forwards ... versatile defenders

Langford shut down Westbrook

I agree! This was the most engaged I’ve seen him. Nice to see him driving hard and making an effort on D.

Nice to Win a game and get the calls.

On D end too.... I havent seen that type of D this season

I guess he saves it for the playoffs

Jason scores with reckless abandon

He's unbelievably good on offense right now, top tier NBA scorer. This is the type of guy who can win you playoff series and lead you to a title. He's taken that step to the next level.

Credit Kemba tonight with a great all around game too.

This must be the first time in a long while that Marv has seen Westbrook play. I mean this is a typical Westbrook line from early in the season. He was just on fire the past few games.

BTW....Nice defense from Romeo.
