Take that for data.
51 points on 43 shots crofl
Russ going for two at the end because he just wanted to make a shot. Dunno if I wanted Houston or OKC to lose. Part of me wants Kawhi to have a shot a Harden so that people can see James look just as ineffective as Russ does against Houston. But if D'Antoni got knocked out in the first round after all that hype...
Harden had 20 FTs. Why won't the media freak out about that? It was a closer game than Spurs-Grizz 2
I just love watching the Spurs torture D'Antoni in the playoffs...definitely want Houston to advance.Quote:

Is Marv an idiot? He never seems to actually know what's going on during the game, and when he realizes his call was wrong, instead of admitting it, he makes up some shit.
"They've called a foul on Denver."
(Actually just signaled an out of bounds, Denver ball.)
"Wait, it looks like the officials got together and changed it. It seems like it's now just an out of bounds."
Because Westbrook had 18 FTs. I'm not a numbers guy but is appears that great offensive players who play aggressively get a lot of FTs...Quote:

The Thunder offense in that game never looked smooth but they had some decent plays. Houston overall runs a better offense very clearly.
But that fourth quarter was disgusting. It was continued crappy Thunder iso's, with no offball movement, and complete ballhoggery by Westbrook. Possession after possession was wasted with him acrobatically flying through 3 defenders and throwing up a prayer.
"Objective" fans on RealGM saying they had to do that since Russ is the only NBA player on that roster.Quote:

I mean when your 2nd option is Victor Oladipo I'd shoot 40 times too. I honestly don't think anyone else on OKC had 10 points ��
Who is Houston's second option? They still seem to run a great offense and win games.
Gordon and Lou probably split that role. Spurs second unit is going to have its hands full.Quote:

We'll know before this postseason is over, but I think he may have taken another leap forward like he has in previous playoffs.

Didn't you love Adams last year? I thought you wanted SA to get him? Wasn't Kanter a legit 6MOY candidate? I thought Roberson was an elite defender and hit big shots vs SA last playoffs? Dipo was a lottery pick right? Kawhi has to play with the worst starting PG in the league, a guy who can't dribble in Danny, LMA who has regressed and Dedmon who can't shoot or score and fouls a lot.Quote:

Was gonna say. Leonard, Turner, Crabbe, Ezeli. How much money can you waste?Quote:

Roberson has roots with San Antonio. He played High School hoops in SanAn.Quote:

It sucks that WB 4th was so awful. But he watched the lead he built evaporate when he was on the bench, was yelling at the coach to reinsert him and then pressed way too hard because of it.Quote:

has a bench ever had -64 or worse in the playoffs? would appreciate if someone could find that stat. such a mind numbing number.
Difference between Harden and Westbrook is that Harden can actually help his teammates to get better shots. Westy can't. :lol
Whether westy's team lost the lead for him is bad, but an MVP finds a way to win that game.
How in hell do u shoot 3-17 in a quarter
13-17 may s 3-17 stop shooting
He used to make the same brick maneuvers when he had DuRbEtA, he cant control himself... HERO TIME!Quote:

westbrook almost seems to have no chill on offense. and some of his errant passes are like... how?
love him or hate him, you can't say he isn't trying to win.
Liberal media tbh :lolQuote:

This Rockets team's offense looks like capable of putting up runs like crazy.
The team is so used to getting westbrick triple-doubles they forgot how to play to win.
This is true. They don't even know how to go get rebounds anymore since their muscle memory tells them to block out so someone else can go get it.Quote:

A disgraceful performance by a disgraceful player. I don't care limited one's team is, 17 field goal attempts in a quarter is inexplicable, especially considering how ridiculous most of them were.
If he looked like Curry or had a personality like Leonard, he'd receive a lot more criticism.
