Thunder vs Warriors

[purguy12]

I was talking about OKC

My bad, was about to say. GS knows how to play D. OKC so so.

Heard Butler only has a strain. Good news...especially for Bulls fans.

Do you know that KD took 25 shots, RW took 22, Adams 7, Waiters & Ibaka 5 sots each. And I named them specifically because they played the most minutes. That's not sharing the ball.

I am with BK in this.

That is how the Thunder's shot distribution should look with everyone doing their job. Durant and Westbrook should get far more shots that everyone else because they are both top 5 offensive players in the league. Kanter had a larger role in the offense because he is a scorer, while Adams is more of a poor man's Bogut.

Normally Ibaka would have a larger role, but Dray was guarding him most of the night.

You did not watch the same game as I did. They were playing within the offense until the final 3 minutes when they decided to go 1 on 5. Sorry you can't comprehend the difference between playing within the offense and getting your shot to not playing within the offense and playing 1 on 5.

LAD is too focused on stats, as usual.

Game flow determined the shot distribution, although I do think they should have attacked Curry more and run a few sets designed for Waiters.

Still though, Wetsbrook and Durant had 47 of 85 Thunder FG attempts, which is less than half. I am sure Billy Donavan would tell you that he does not want that percentage going much lower than that. In fact, it will probably rise during the playoffs, as it should.

Great game! Props to GS for making the plays in the last 2 minutes.

LOL.

Just kidding. 47 is a lot more than half of 85. Still a fair percentage though.

Usually they attempt over 36. I think against GSW that number should increase to the low 40's. One reason for it being so high is due to OKC being down by 20 and needing Durant and Westbrook to get back in the game.

I think the Dray/Ibaka matchup is a large part of that also. Ibaka is usually the 3rd option, but he Did not get many chances last night.

Ibaka not becoming a stronger inside player is a huge disappointment to the Thunder. Not what they bargained for.

Surprising.

Or the FO can finally listed to what some people have been saying which is they need other guys that can HELP them get over the new hump-GS.

Well, they used to have that. But they traded Harden and wasted their best years with a bad coach.
