LOL

So, one current consistent offensive option. OKC has two, if not three.

Learn the game, then post.

They have all scored at least 18 points in a game in the last month.

And you just made our point. The Thunder only have two scorers and Westbrook is one of them so he must shoot the ball. What they really need to do is move Westbrook to SG and get a real PG. But for now, he must shoot.

Whose point? Harden is at a 20 PER and a 2.0 WS for the playoffs with a 16 USG%. If anything, a real PG would be getting Harden and Durant the ball in better positions to score. As it is, Westbrook is simply hurting his team at this point. Why Blazer fans want to defend that baffles me, but the stats are there to support my argument.
 
Westbrook 4 assists/7 turnovers.

Defend that one.
 
Westbrook the next wannabe allen iverson

He's not even close to Iverson, though. It's tough to watch a young player wreck his team this way.

If Westbrook got hurt and missed the whole season, they would've won 25-30 games tops. His positives wayyyy outweigh his negatives. The reason the Mavs got off to a fast start is because Westbrook wasn't aggressive enough when the game began. The 4th quarter benching had gotten in his head.

Look, Russell being Russell got them this far. But they won't get any further as currently constructed. You can't blame all of that on Russell.
 
Finally, there are only 4 Starting PGs left in the playoffs and Westbrook is one of them. That says something.
 
Every time Dallas gets within 2 or 3. Oklahoma City gets free throws on the very next possession. Hard to win when the refs are trying to cover the spread.

The refs were atrocious game 3, figured they would make sure that Dallas didn't win game 4 after that. Dallas is the better team but the thunder are probably going to take them to 7.
 
No one watching this epic comeback?

WTF was Durant doing shooting that? Shoulda let it run oiut
 
Huge collapse by OKC.

Durant with dumbass decision making, and Westbrick bricking as usual.

And Dirk in GOAT MODE.
 
wtf just happened? I left with 3m to go to plaid with the game pretty much decided and I come back to an overtime.
 
Kevin Durant: Where Panic Happens.
 
I was still watching. Dirk is seriously in GOAT mode. He can't miss right now.

6.5 seconds left. Tie game. And he chucks a heavily contested 35 footer with 3 seconds on the clock. WTF was that decision making?

And he keeps on chucking.
 
OKC has turned up there defense a lot this OT.

I give credit to Collison for playing as good of defense as he has on Dirk but how do they not put Durant on him some of the time? Durant's got the body, quickness, and length to give Dirk some trouble. I know hes not a great defender and you don't want him expending tons of energy or fouling a lot but why not try it in stretches? Carlisle wouldn't iso Marion on Ibaka or Collison.
 
Why the heck did OKC wait 10s to foul there?
 
These Thunder have a lot to learn. I predicted before this series started, that OKC's mistake prone game would be exploited every time down by Dallas.
 
Looks like I was wrong about OKC taking Mavs to 7.
 
Dirk is a man on a mission. Dude seems so determined to get redemption for all his past playoff failures.
