Thunder had this and they kept throwing away the ball. What a joke. We would totally beat them.
 
Wow Kawhi is a fucking baller

That was a huge offensive board and he avoids westbrooks great defense too.
 
The road team shoots 34 FTs (14 more than the home team). Probably be even more lop-sided in our game.
 
Friggin OKC. So close and yet then so far. I take so much joy at the idea of a possible Spurs defeat.

OKC sucks and I don't see how they get better. They need to fire their coach again. There are players other than Durant and RW on that roster and they need to be utilized more often. The Durant & Westbrook Show will never win a title.
 
Spurs will have a gentlemens sweep this round. If game 5 is a blowout makes KD leaving more likely.
 
Memphis' coach Dave Joerger was fired this morning and is already locking into a new lucrative deal with the Kings according to reports.

That would be quite a coup for the Kings landing a good coach. I can see Joerger helping transform Cousins into a better player and possibly a leader.

Power struggle. He wanted more money and he didn't like the moves the front office did at the deadline this year. Basically the owners were getting tired of him off the court. On the court they liked him.

So the owners are stupid? They want Martha Stewart to coach.

If Paul Allen had hired Popovich but didn't like him I'd be so pissed. Not saying he is Pop as I really know little about him.

Last 5m of the OKC/Spurs game Durant 2 shots, Westbrook 6(two of which were off offensive rebounds). Westbrook shot 13 more times then Durant.

Vintage Westbrick. He also had four 4th quarter TOVs. His brand of 4th quarter hero ball isn't going to get it done in playoffs against a TEAM like the Spurs.

If I remember correctly, Westbrook scored 31 points on 30 shots (I'm doing this from memory) and Durant was 10/18 on field goals. Just dumb. A couple of those were shots Russell had to take because of the shot clock or after an offensive rebound.

That's the thing though. Russell is a fantastic player and a total beast. Could you imagine trying to cover him? But, he still hasn't learned to be selective on when to be aggressive. They have a shit offense and just give it to Durant or Westbrook. Durant is about as consistent as they come. So basically, their entire team lives or dies on whether or not Russ has an efficient game or not. That is it. Dumbest strategy I can think of.

Westbrick was 10-31. OKC's record is absolute shit when Westbrook attempts > 30 FGA. He's an inefficient, turnover prone chucker who freezes out his more efficient scoring teammates when the game is on the lone. This is nothing new, it's been going on for years.

But, the fanboys will see that he had 31 points and a near triple double and think he's unstoppable. Truth is, he is stoppable, just let him try to be the hero and he'll choke it away and stop his team from winning, yet again.

"OKLAHOMA CITY — If the Thunder were a famous auto race, they'd be the Indy 499...

The last 3:25 of the game was the season in a nutshell for OKC. A peanut shell, easy to crack. A season where they had already blown 15 fourth quarters and looked as fragile as fine china...

If you're looking for one more reason why Durant could choose to flee when he becomes a free agent this summer, it might be that he makes that realization and looks to find a landing spot where they value doing all the little and late and important things right...

But that's another matter for another time. Here was Westbrook trying to throw a left-handed pass to Serge Ibaka then abruptly changing his mind. He was not hemmed in by defenders. Westbrook just second-guessed himself and fumbled the ball and Aldridge scooped it up and ahead to Leonard for two free throws.

Ninety seconds later, Westbrook tried to dribble the ball between his legs and lost control, and this time Leonard made the steal and went all the way for a layup."

Exactly. I knew I could throw the general concept up and you would finish it brilliantly. I throw alley oops to you, because that is my one skill. And you finish like a verbally prime Shawn Kemp.
 
JV just rolled his ankle. Classy Heat fans cheer.

On a side note to this, I'm willing to bet that most teams have a shit record when one of their players takes 30 or more shots.

Living in Florida (not near Miami), I can relate to this. However, there are some cool Heat fans I know personally so I won't generalize, but I get your point.
