OKC really seems to lack that killer instinct at times. Westbrook goes into 1 on 5 mode


I actually had no problem with Westbrook's 4th quarter play for the most part in this game.

In general, though, I agree.

KD just quietly stands around while the lead dwindles


To be fair, when they DID get him the ball, he produced down the stretch in this game. He had some bad fouls on Griffin, though, and his last turnover was as costly as it was perplexing.

Quit hating. We play a solid game and get screwed by the refs as much as anybody else.

Westbrook wasn't the reason they lost today. Westbrook has actually been the better play imo since Game 6 of the Grizzlies series.

KD disappearing for 8 minutes in the 4th quarter because the Clippers put a a guy barely over 6 feet on him.

LeBron had the same issue early in his career where he was reluctant to go into the post when he had the size advantage. Him developing that part of his game is really what separates him and KD at this point.

No, y'all go to the line more than anyone else in the league.

I will continue to hate, thank you

Nah, OKC does get a ton of favorable calls because Durant and Westbrook can get to the rim at will. There is some contact on every drive, so when you have two guys doing it constantly there will ultimately be cheap fouls called.

Durant especially is so wirey that every time he is touched it looks like he's wildly flying about.

We envy NOTHING from our rivals in that godforsaken state with no titles to their name.

I want the easiest possible path to a title. Every. Year. Y'all are not easy to play. That's as far as it goes.

OKC also can't keep having these games where Ibaka only gets 5 shots. He is too good with that midrange jumper to not get off 8-12 shots a game.

Lots of fear talking in this thread. I'm just glad I'm not a fan of a garbage team like the Spurs.

Seriously. Game six of the '12 WCF he went 11 for 11 from midrange. Dude can get it done--so much more than just a rim protector. If OKC would run more actions for him to keep the defense honest, you might as well roll out the red carped for KD and Westbrook to waltz down the middle of the lane, tbh.

KD right now plays like Dirk circa 2003, he just doesnt get how much of an advantage his size is. He plays the game like a guy six inches shorter.

Kevin Durant should score every time down the court with a guy that small on him.

In other news, Spurs are up 3-0 (soon to be 4-0 as I predict) and will have plenty of rest after the clippers game 7 20+ point victory

I like how none of you are bringing up the fact that I only became a Thunder fan last week. The last NBA game I watched was a Hawks game in 1999. I just wanted in on this thread.
