James Harden 8 Fg attempts, 2 FT attempts. Somebody has to be sure that KD and RW don’t freeze him out. Thunder could not continue to start James because he doesn’t get any shots with the two all stars because they only look for each other first and foremost. James could have made a huge difference last night but they have to get him the ball!

Best thing for Thunder and their fans is to put this one behind them and look forward. An ugly game, it looked like the entire team was just off. We’re not going to win every game (obviously), but to lose to this weak Atlanta team is very disappointing.

Perk let early fouls and misplays affect his entire game last night. He has to be stronger than that, learn how to better deal with those issues and remain an essential contributor. A terrible game after an absolutely great game Thursday vs. Magic–disappointing.

Monday night home vs. Dallas (NBA TV), let’s get back to Thunder Basketball.

[...] Russell Westbrook’s ankle was “clearly” swollen after he scored 25 points in his return on Saturday, but he didn’t indicate that it was a problem.Westbrook played with his ankle heavily taped beneath an ankle brace. He played well but wasn’t as active as usual, failing to grab a rebound and settling for a career-high eight 3-point attempts. He should be fine for Monday’s game vs. the Mavericks.

David, there are plenty of strong big men in the NBA and come playoffs, it’s critical to have a strong front court. The Thunder are clearly better since Perk arrived and are in fact a contender for the whole shebang. If the Thunder wins an NBA championship soon, Perk will be a big reason why.

David,

Probably a bit too harsh. However, valid criticisms..

Perkins is horrible. His TOs this year are disgustingly high, and he is having one of the worst offensive seasons in the history of humanity. Who cares if he can guard Bynum and D12? Those are two people. The NBA is not made up of dominant big men anymore. Perk is such a waste of a resource it’s pathetic. And don’t tell me he “does all the little things that you don’t see on the stat sheet.” Until he can learn to not turn the ball over and get tons of rebounds he is negating any good he does on defense or screen setting, particularly at the kind of money he is making. #free cole

Perk,nick,ibaka, cold and cook combined for 13 turnovers tonight, completely unacceptable and for all I hear about perk telling ibaka not to focus on offense you would think perk would stop trying to score, not that he’s chucking it up 15 times a game but he’s converting nothing at all, and turning it over while doing it

TK, OKC is selling out every home game as it is. I have no problem with your idea but apparently they don’t think it is necessary. When are they going to have a bobblehead night is what I am hoping for.

Darnell, I thought you’d be interested to know, tonight I found out that even the Reno Bighorns of the D-League give Gelato vouchers to the fans if the team gets to 100 points. This is unbelievable. The Thunder organization has got to do something to remedy this situation. Sonic drinks. Taco Mayo tacos. Anything? Does the Thunder really want to be outdone by a D-League team?
