-9 in McLaughlin's 3:21 minutes. Too small defensively. Not a good enough shooter offensively. Visibly the most limited player on the floor when he was in the game.

He probably won't play in the 2nd half. Spurs just need to keep one of D Harper or S Castle on the floor at all times. Play wings instead. They will do a better job than McLaughlin can.

I was listening earlier to Tim Legler on the Dan Patrick Show. Dan Patrick said he thought Wemby was the best player in the league today. Legler responded by saying Wemby is the best player when he has an offensive night like he did in Game 1. Legler said Wemby is always dominant defensively but not always dominant offensively. When he puts the two together, he is the best player in the league but he doesn't do that all the time yet. His offensive impact is not yet dominant / consistent enough.

Good description of Wemby's performance so far tonight vs Game 1.

Oooh. That was a vicious dunk by Castle on Hartenstein at the 8:10 mark in Q2.

Wemby had a relatively quiet first half. Wonder if he explodes in the 2nd.

Man, this game is making me feel tired. I don't know if it is the basketball or how over-excited Reggie Miller is on commentary. It is exhausting me.

Dylan Harper reminds me so much of Cade Cunningham.

Harrison Barnes has been a big fat zero in these first 2 games. He might be done. Lot of decline. Certainly not a starter quality player anymore. I am not even sure how good of a bench player he is.

I trust Hauser more than H Barnes.

I love Hartenstein's passing. Great kickouts on the short roll. Dribble hand offs. Hitting the back door cut. Beautiful.

Not sure how they kicked Harper out of the game for that? Kinda' seems like they want to extend this series.

If J-Dub has reinjured that hamstring, that might be curtains for OKC in this series.

No it?s actually the best thing that could happen to them. They were playing great without him and others can easily step up. Don?t be shocked if he?s a trade candidate this summer

Can the Spurs go on a run like the Knicks did..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Keldon Johnson is a good 3pt shooter.

Hartenstein may be the key to the series for OKC, he's done well and has a double-double. Chet is not a good matchup in this series vs. Wemby, like not even close. IHart can offer more this round
