Their whole offense has been high pick and roll and second chance points so far. They're getting some really lucky bounces but they're also out working us and creating a lot of those opportunities because we're losing focus on defense. Guys are giving up on the play once the shot goes up and you absolutely cannot afford to do that. Offensively we've abandoned the post game which carried us to our current winning streak. Collison needs to play better in the second half on both ends.

Hope i'm wrong, but i don't see them overcoming this deficit. Not the way we are struggling to score against their zone and the way they are allowed to just hack everyone/foul for rebounds/set moving screens

For those complaining about the refs, that should not dictate the way the Kings are playing defense and putting in the effort. If they are going to call it tight, make them earn their shots or trap them more and make Ibaka or Perkins make a move and live with the results. It would be nice to see Ray get some burn here, it really can't hurt...we know he will bring it everytime.

They can overcome this deficit, but it'll be difficult the way the refs are managing this game.

Show some more faith in our team -- we made adjustments against Phoenix to get that win. I don't think we're done fighting here by a long shot.

There's been at least 3 off the ball fouls for OKC already. The only ways the Kings can get them is if Cuz flops his arms in the air.

The key to coming back and winning is letting Cuz dominate down the post. They're making a lot of tough shots. They won't be making them all night.

i know this game just doesn't have the same feeling at all. OKC is daring us to shoot 3s, and I doubt we are going to sign some better shooters at half time. And Cousins doesn't have the advantage in the paint like he did in PHX.

Collison's inability to shoot 3's is baffling. All season long, his 3's have been wide open shots. He just can't make them. We can win though. It's a matter of execution

If we actually tried to take the ball into the post, OKC has no bench left. Get their guys in foul trouble and they'll have no choice but to scale back the physicality. Don't keep the ball on the perimeter and shoot threes over the zone, that's a losing game.
