The Clips had a license to mug Harden without fouls being called all night long. The Clippers don't play nearly as good on the road so it's critical the Thunder end up with a better overall record. With Thabo, you've got someone who can guard Billups or Butler. Big factor in winning or losing. Last night, mostly due to sharp passing by Blake and Paul, these guys were wide open, uncontested.
I'd zone the Clippers with Thabo and Durant up top and Westbrook hounding Paul.
