[BOTSLAYER]

Durant with some sick crossovers...still contested ish though

Missed it tending to a bored girlfriend, it is the jeep commercial right? Think it debuted in a SB the patriots won.

Yeah... define "tending?"

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Yeah... define "tending?"

sadly she was cold and in her underwear so I was making her a "toquito" with my blankets...now it is half time though...

The difference between OKC playing small and MIA playing small is that OKC can still grab boards

This can go either way. Sefilosha is getting totally schooled by Lebron but it hasnt really shown up yet on the stat sheet. OKC had a really good 2nd quarter

Take her underware and put it on your head and tell her it is a rally cap....

I know how she feels, I can't get warm today. I am getting sick of the cold...

Miami spanking dat azz

Yeah ok.

Harden did not want to stay in OKC so OKC did what was best for the organization. They got Lamb and Steven Adams out of that deal and let's not forget Kevin Martin who would have helped them get back to the finals at least last year had Westbrook not gone down. This is a top notch team built for the long haul. If Westbrook comes back this year the Thunder win a title, I have zero doubt about that.

Hello, Sefolosha is +7 at the half while LeWrong is -1.

Who's schooling whom?

Thunder did get some value for Harden but I'd love seeing him back in an OKC uniform someday.

Westbrook moving to SG when he comes back would be a good idea. That's where he played his college ball, don't forget.

Damn we are struggling

 

[bksballer89]

3 point defense is atrocious

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Holy 3ball fuckers 10 for 16 vs 2 for 11 pretty much sums it up.

 

[thunderc]

Harden is a flopper and Durant has taken over a lot of what he provided. Just couldn't have that much invested in 3 guys with skills that overlap so much, there is only 1 ball. Some might think I am crazy but I watch Adams play and I think of a very young Mark Gasol. If he can get anywhere close to that the trade was amazing.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

anyone want to discuss support cast anymore?

Saw this on twitter:

I would say the OKC supporting cast is better... I think Chalmers and Battier are mediocre role players at best. For everything they do well, they make a lot of mistakes. Allen is one dimensional. They all feed off Lebron and Wade drawing defenders off. I think the OKC supporting cast can create their own shots..

Wow.. Lebron just got out hustled on a loose ball there.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Walnuts are the Cavaliers of the nut world, they look pretty good as nuts against rocks but against other nuts WTF?

 

[SEC Official]

I like Jackson for OKC... I think he has a ton of upside and his quickness gives people fits in transition. Battier looked like his feet were stuck in concrete that time.

Gotta mute the sound, the Heat announcer screaming for 5 seconds after each basket is too much.
