Good one.
Blake has a long way to go on both offense and defense.
Blake's biggest remaining flaw on display so far this game - when his shot isn't falling early, he gets frustrated too easily and stops hustling on defense and the boards, and he also starts trying to back down his man every possession, which isn't going to work against Ibaka, instead of mixing it up with his face-up game.... he needs to get his head in the game in the second half if we want to win this one, tbh....

needs a little PnR action to get going
But the bigger problem is your team can't execute without CFlop on the floor.
expecting more from Jamal in this 2nd half, tbh... Barnes and JJ Re played way above their head... Jamal needs to stop bricking and tricking and get some scoring going
If the Thunder are down at the end of 3 expect the refs to pull out all the stops to keep this series alive for more than 5 games.
Wouldn't put it past Westbrook to try and steal Durants' spotlight on his MVP night. One of the silliest chimps in the league.
"Lightning struck a transformer"...
NBA even trying to prop up the city itself tbh...
Parker is too short and manu too old to reliably penetrate vs okc bigs, and they have the quickness and length to contest on the kick. If the execution isn't perfect they just smother us. With splitter attacking well like he has been in the po so far it should be better, and tbh I wouldn't mind seeing more Bonner against them to try and pull out one of their bigs.
I think for the clips Paul is just better at finding griffin in good position on his drives (it helps that Blake is extremely mobile and athletic) and coming off a hot shooting night okc is forced to stretch out. Also it has to be said Paul has a better rep / sells his flops better than tony and manu so they can't rough him up as much. Westbrook gets away with a lot of reaching on non-superstar guards, and tony rarely gets those calls and manu hasn't gotten them since 2008. Paul does.
LOL Paul not to be outdone by Durant's flop there.
Woops replying to dpg
Why is Blake shooting jumpers tbh? Some may fall down but Clippers will get beaten with that kind of play.
Thunder run. Game is over.
I really wish the Spurs could have gotten Matt Barnes, that foul there is something we lack in general. He'd be a great Spur.
Eh. The pace is once again at high speed. Chris Paul's job is to maintain the pace. Thus far, it sped up in Oklahoma's favor.
Clips look terrible. At least they got a split.
This series is gonna be a nasty dog fight...kinda like this
I guess the Clippers have lost this game. They don't want to win.
Looking forward, the Spurs and Portland Trailblazers may be a different story.
Game is far from over. Clips still shooting well, but they are giving up too many offensive rebounds and their defense has not been stout. If they tighten up the defense for a 5 minute stretch, they can make this a close game.
