Series Thread: 3) Houston Rockets vs 6) OKC Thunder

I know what I was talking about - and I told you when I referenced his number of shots that was in regards to the last game. I'm not going to argue about it because his shot selection in the 4th quarter of the last game was an atrocious that you can't argue.

I was probably the first to criticize his 4th quarter in game 2, but you guys are reaching on much of this.

Thats the Westbrook I want to see.

But you just said RW is a great passer...so how does it work in GS but not with RW? I'll tell you why- because Steph is a PASS FIRST PG instead of a champion of hero ball & RW is the opposite.

it's the same thing Kobe used to do in his early years. It was good enough to get his team into the playoffs but never worked good enough to actually get out of the first round.

Team passing is better than any one player. Of course it's more efficient when every player on the floor is a good passer. OKC doesn't have that luxury. When The Hawks won 37 straight, or whatever the number was they were moving the ball brilliantly, they had the passers at every position to make it work, so does GS.

Haren turned into Harden!

The point is what he did in that 4th quarter is what he ALWAYS does.

And again, we're not reaching. It's no coincidence that KD went to a team full of shooters, having to share the ball more but still get 15-20 shots a night and his efficiency is better. RW doesn't have a PG mentality when he should - in crunch time & when games are close. Watching games night in & night out will show you that.

Passing the ball isn't a gawd given talent. If he just PASSED it more than he shot it you might be surprised at the ball movement. SMH.

Inefficient Westbrook returns.

Donovan must read my posts. Abrines and McDermott getting quality minutes.

Much better Westbrook tonight

That missed call by Scott Foster right in front of his face just changed everything

They paid them off to force more games

Very good game overall though

Yeah probably the best game of the young playoffs so far.....At least IMO

Fucking great game....

 

[bksballer89]

I hate fouling there. Way too much time left. Especially since Houston didn't use their timeout.

That was a terrible decision IMO. At least let another 2 or 3 seconds tick off before fouling

Wow OKC are lucky. Harden had a great look there.

3 missed free throws in the final minute by Westbrook nearly cost them.
