Just a pathetic loss. Just pathetic.

What an embarrassment that game was.

Missed free throws cost us the game in the end. Too many bricks...

Nice to see the defense pick it up in the fourth at least. Too bad Delonte didn't hit that wide open shot.

I almost would have preferred the celtics to have gotten blown out instead of string me along like that lol.

On the bright side, Shaq continues to look better and better.  He was 5 for 5, made his presence felt defensively, actually played the pick and roll defense quite well, and stood up for KG when he got hit hard.  Great job Shaq.

To every other player:  You were awful lol.

This was just an all around horrendous game.  If it wasn't for Westbrook literally TRYING to give the game back to us, the thunder probably would've won this game by 10.

KG...2 rebounds?  Cmon.

Big Baby HAS to make those free throws.  He was just not clutch and not feeling it all night.  2-10 from the floor, 2-6 from the line, puke worthy.

The Rondo injury could be worrisome.

Just no life in this team all game.  Ugly ugly game.  They better beat the raptors by 15+ on sunday.

No Kevin Durant + no Jeff Green = recipe for complacency.

Can't get my head around that... Should not be losing these games. Just can't allow a team missing their best player to waltz into your building and take the game. >:(

Three(!) assists the entire second half. That's it.

I saw nothing particularly impressive by Shaq on defense, pick-and-roll or otherwise.

Between offense and defense, you can piece together 1 quarter of good play from all the 48 minutes. Everything but the last quarter was horrible on defense. Everything but the second quarter was horrible on offense

10 shots for Big Baby, who came up whats strategy. Ray Allen 9 shots, KG 6shots, and ShaQ 5 shots.

Pierce Hero mode is nice to see. But not with 20seconds on the shot clock. Run some offense man, move the ball.

What the hell happened in the 3rd Q? Too many Dumb fouls. And horrendous Defense.

Baby has to be the worst rebounding big in the NBA. All that hustle means nothing if you can't rebound the ball. You too KG.

Rondo has to be nervous, Russell Westbrook took his lunch money. Can Rondo carry a team like that? Both came into the league without a Jump-Shot, Russell got one and Rondo is still searching for a consistent one. After that performance Rondo gets bumped from the PG hierarchy. And no longer in MVP consideration.

Young Thunder team deserved and earned this win.

Too many jumpshots and too much hero ball.

i think the C's had a chance to win this because the Thunder stalled on offense also. They could've deserved to lose too, after playing that 4th quarter like that.

Play of the Game for me: Shaq's flagrant 1. If the Thunder didn't get 2points + possession, we could've realistically been down 1 with 13 seconds to go. No need for West to put up that 3. sure it was uncontested but a 3 is still a lower percentage shot than a 2.

Sad...if Rondo and/or Pierce are injured will be a major step backwards.
