[bksballer89]

Only took OKC 3+ minutes to cut the Jazz lead in half

Hey if i was an OKC fan i would treat it like i was in jail, i aint saying shit. Refs aren't even hiding it lol

 

[Inimical]

I disagree. Anthony has played his ass off this season. The failure is on billy donovan.

Fair enough. Donovan is really showing his ineptitude.

 

[Inimical]

is it a thing to fire a coach during a playoff series?

 

[bksballer89]

Rubio outplayed Russ in game 2 and now game 3.

That cna't happen

Donovan skillfully calling a time out down by 18

i'm calling it now: westbrook will NEVER win a ring as "the man" in OKC. he HAS to be the 2nd fiddle to hope to win it all.

with 2:29 left

Man, I think Utah might go up 3-1 after next game

 

[Inimical]

I think a combination of superior defense by utah (especially Rudy altering everyone show down low) and the disastrous offense that OKC runs lead to this win. Rubio will not be playing out of his mind like this every game though. Russel i swear is doing what Kobe used to do when he would get pissed at the team. Just dribble and pass lol

Lmao Stockons son looks like a child out there. Hes like 4 feet tall.

lol right?? i just looked him up on google and it says he's listed as 5'11"; no way in hell that dude is 5'11", looks like he's 5'7" tops

 

[Kold]

So y'all think PG is gone if they lose in the 1st rd, or does he stick around to try to work it out? Another question is does that owner pony up to pay that tax if this team loses in the 1st rd

And he will never accept 2nd fiddle until he's hella old. And frankly why would he? He's the reigning MVP and fills up a stat sheet. This is not the point in his career where he's gonna say ok I'm the #2 guy now. Maybe in 3-4 years.

Chemistry goes a long way in the playoffs. The Warriors are the gold standard, but teams like Indiana and Philly have it too. Teams that decidedly do not are OKC, Cleveland, Washington.

yep, you're right. so he's not gonna wins squat. he'll have all those triple-double nights' memories to fall back on when he's sitting in that rocking chair 30-40 yrs from now.

No chance if they lose.

Maybe he'll go somewhere at the end and get a late one like Jason Kidd
