OKC vs HOU series thread

[SEC Official]

How in the hell can anyone call this good basket to be intentionally fouling like that? I hate that

Yeah, to me this is poor sportsmanship.

Looks like they finally gave up on it.

Good call on Durant there. He used his off arm

 

[SEC Official]

Durant is trying to do too much... without Westbrook, he struggles.

But that call was iffy...

Parsons better give the fan a fistbump next time.. he isn't a superstar yet.

Game's over... OKC looks like stir fried shit. This may go to 7 games.

6 of the series are going to game 6 in the 1st round. Wonder where that ranks statistically historically? Can't remember that happening in a while. Most 1st round series are lucky to get to 5.

Someone needs to tell Chris Webber his hair is nappy... looks like a fool on TV. Looks like starter kit for dreds

Hack-a-Asik backfired well enough.

Take a win in Houston and make the Thunder sweat it out game 7 boys.

I think Scott Brooks may have finally provided enough evidence to prove he's not a championship quality coach. Team was flat and some very stupid strategy

 

[piss-tons]

Scott Brooks has never been a championship quality coach. His late game play calling is just horrible. Even Spoelstra is a better coach.

That is the reason they were stupid to give Hardin up to begin with - now with Westbrook gone, they don't have Hardin to back them up and they might not get past the second round

HACK-A-whomever does not work well with up tempo teams.

It is the dumbest strategy for teams like OKC, Denver, or Golden state.

Brooks brought his D game tonight.

Yeah usually if we get 3 game 6's it is considered a decent 1st round

Been holding back from saying this, but I can't anymore especially after this game and after hearing him say he reads Lebron's stat sheet every night........this entire playoffs, he's looked like Cleveland Lebron. A guy that got everyone involved, but lacked that killer instinct to takeover the 4th consistently, and will also defer HEAVILY....he's so focused on being Lebron, that he doesn't realize that being HIMSELF(the cold blood assassin) was MORE THAN GOOD enough to get the job done(he just needs to put on some wight). By trying to be Lebron, he gives up what he does best, and that's be the guy that takes over in the 4th. There's just too much trying to get his teammates involved. There's nothing wrong with that, but at some point, you have to be MJ,Kobe, etc. and be the guy who takes the big shots.

It works well on players like Dwight Howard, but it did help them get off a nice 3 point shot and closed the gap, but then on the next possession, they missed.

 

[piss-tons]

Some of these superstars need to get brought down a peg. I get the feeling that players like Durant or Blake won't actually improve until they get hated and targeted by the media like Lebron after 2010. Durant basically just quit if you saw the clip on InsidetheNBA. Durant needs to bulk up and get a post game, and same with Blake (well he doesn't need to bulk up).

 

[bksballer89]

As the guys on inside are saying, once OKC got the lead to 6 or 7 they should have stopped that and played defense instead of giving them free points on every possession
