OKC probably ends up winning this game, but the way they've been playing since Westbrook went down leads me to believe that it's going to be very difficult for them to get past MEM/LAC.

That dual flop by Fisher and Martin against Asik was hilarious. Slowed down you can see Asik come to a stop and both of those guys go flying at exactly the same time.

as if they'd be run over by a dump truck

Westbrook has obviously been holding the Thunder back all of this time. He's why they can't win a title right? You have 4 guys staring at Durant. We can't get any fast breaks. If Brooks lets this series get away he shouldn't even make the post game press conference.

Go Royals!

lol Knick players came to the game dressed like they were going to a funeral, all black.

Hope that provides some motivation to the Celtics...

Westbrook is one of the top 10-15 best players in the game. Never understood those who said his play hurt them or that he was somehow too selfish.

His play has hurt them at times but that doesn't mean he isn't a very good player.

He has his flaws, although he's minimized them as he's matured, but dude has always been a net positive without question. Especially with Harden gone; they needed him to be hyper-aggressive on offense.

KC_Connection · 05-01-2013, 09:18 PM

OKC's offense is brutal right now. Houston isn't exactly an excellent defensive team.

I agree they need him more now with Harden gone. But I agree with what I heard someone say the other day that Jordan took twice as many shots as Pippen did. That is the way it should work with Durant-Westbrook.

okcchief · 05-01-2013, 09:29 PM

It doesn't help when you keep Perkins on the floor for no god damned reason. I'm almost rooting for Houston at this point hoping Brooks finally gets raped for his atrocious lineups.

That is the stupidest point they ever make. Durant goes to the line a shit Ton. That reduces his attempts. Also, Westbrook is a much better offensive player than Scotty Pippen. We have no one for Westbrook to pass to to get assists because we barely run any offense to get Durant open, and our bigs can't catch and finish. I have been saying it all along. It's Scott Brooks not Russell Westbrook. Westbrook has had some blowups in the past but he has matured a great deal.

I'm about to go to bed on a Thunder game for the first time I can remember. Glad I sold my tickets tonight.

Go Royals!

okcchief · 05-01-2013, 09:40 PM

PS Kevin Durant isn't a ****ING POINT GUARD!

KC_Connection · 05-01-2013, 09:45 PM

Loved Harden's play to get the 2 for 1 at the end of the 3rd there. Very smart basketball.
