Clippers might have had a better chance had Ibaka been tossed. Same with the Lakers. Apparently a punch to the nuts is okay if you play for the Thunder!
.....it really helped a lot making it a flagrant 2 AFTER THE GAME WAS OVER!!
It would be nice if the Lakers could actually beat OKC...It would be nice.

25k is a joke. But the Lakers just can't seem to beat a good team on the road.Clippers might have had a better chance had Ibaka been tossed. Same with the Lakers. Apparently a punch to the nuts is okay if you play for the Thunder!

Miami has now now 16 straight games and has pulled within 1 game of the Spurs for best record in the league. The Spurs are dangerously close to conceding home court in the finals against the Heat given how hot Miami has played as of late. (Barring we and or the Heat get to the finals).
They've already beaten us this season, with the 2nd game coming up later this month.
No Melo tonight, but hopefully the Knicks can pull off the upset...
They've needed 16 straight wins and the Spurs giving up the ghost in two OT games to do that, tbh.
Also think they lose to Indiana to end their win streak.
Knicks suck as of late, Melo or no Melo, can't count on them at all to slow the Thunder even under their own roof.
Knicks are just another East team, if Amare was 5 years younger then they'd be legit contenders but they have a lot of role players and 1 guy who is often injured.
As for the Heat, yeah they are threatening but we almost beat them without any of our big guns. I think we'll be okay.

okc's defense is vastly overrated, they allow way too many points
If NY gets hot from 3 they can pull it off. Of course in typical OKC fashion they've got 20 FTA's in the first half so that doesn't help
JR Smith making it tough on OKC, let's hope they can stay hot in the 4th.
The refs had to confer with David Stern if they wanted to bail out Durant with that "flagrant" call.. Stern said, no it's NY its a big market, keep it fair for now.
why dont players just flagrant foul durant and westbrook, i mean they get fouled anyways even tho its a bogus call, i would like to see some rough fouls
NY is doing everything they can to lose the game. JR Smith can beat Sefalosha with his first step but opts to pull up and shoot a terrible jumper. Same thing with Felton, he gets into the paint and then opts to kick out to someone to shoot a 25 foot 3 when the basket is 6 feet away.
Are you serious? CP3 and Durant are the queens of getting those technicalities as fouls by flailing their arms.
They really need to take that sweeping motion out as a foul. Such a bogus call.
True but. we used a 12 game win streak to pass the Clippers and Thunder. Miami wasn't going to have home court against 4 teams in the west now they'd have home court against all but 1 (as of now, us) and have opened a 7 1/2 game lead over the slumping Knicks (could be 8 after the end of the OKC game). I hope Indianican continue their success against the Heat. If they can beat the Heat when they are hot that would be a better gauge of how they would play in a playoff matchup.
Not the smartest game plan.
Their defense has actually improved from 15th to 11th to 8th this season in terms of defensive efficiency.
Iso in crunch time? really...? Iso?
And not even a good look with ISO, there was plenty of time to kick it out, then get the ball back with some spacing to make a move to the basket or shoot. JR had the hot hand maybe have him get it at the top of the key and create for someone else.. Oh well.
Why don't teams actually run a play on a final shot a la Danny Green vs LAL.
Woodson knows what he's dealing with so he figured just put the ball in JR's hands and see if they can make it happen. Still a poorly executed final play, no spacing and a bad look. I bet Kidd was wishing he had the ball in his hands to create a better look.
Spurs will most likely finish 2nd in the West. The real question is whether the Lakers will finish with the 7 or 8 seed.
OKC will lose Sunday or Monday, or both.
