Well I still think Salah should have gotten in when OKC started controlling the boards right at the start of their big run. The not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5... but 6+(I actually lost count) missed layups were just awful though. Considering we all kinda knew we would be poor defensively and rebounding coming into this year... OKC pretty much ended up with their season avg for fg% and rebounds(Season 47%fg tonight 48% 48rebs season tonight 52). The killer remains the poor offense as we went 40% from the field(if not for Dirk we would have been under40%). We just can't compete defensively except for, hopefully, timely stops when they matter most. The offense being this bad though(and its' not like OKC is a top defense) continues to be the biggest problem, and it's exacerbated by the fact we intentionally go small because those guys are supposed to be helping us offensively.
