    Was Westbrook wearing a purse? I legit thought there was an old woman coming to the podium with PG.

    A lot of people are saying this was a terrible shot.

    Was it? Zero chance for a turnover. Zero chance to be trapped or tightly contested. George was defending several feet off of him. Obviously a 40 footer is always a tough shot, but he also practices those long 3s.

    Dame Time is real. Very few players in NBA history have playoff moments like the ones Damian has had, before and tonight. He's just a different kind of cold-blooded....I'm still shaking, an hour later.

    The glove is not in the same hemisphere as KD or Russ. Payton is never really an MVP candidate, KD was a perennial MVP candidate in his OKC years, Russ at least won it once. If KD hasn't left OKC in such a bad way, there can be conversation about whether his legacy as a Thunder is better than Russ's. But because the fans in OKC hate him, the organization might not even retire his jersey, so he is out of the conversation.

    In the end, Russ will lead the organization in almost every statistics category, points, rebounds, assists, steals, games, wins, minutes, playoff wins, field goals, 3 point field goals, free throws, turnovers, everything. And he is local fans favorite, all these combined surely makes him the greatest Thunder ever.

    This year George has proven he has much more potential than Jimmy B, they not on the same level no more. Jimmy is not a superstar in my book IMO, George is tho.

    The nerve to say lillard’s shot was a bad shot while sitting next to Russell freaking Westbrook.

    I guess the douchebag is rubbing off on PG

    Yeah, imho I thought PG should have got up on him a bit more, that was pretty lame. Make him put it on the floor and get him to shoot a tougher leaner. Head scratcher from a supposedly great defensive player.

    That's how I feel about Utah. They were very very very cocky yesterday

    Everyone on the Thunder sounded like a sore loser in the post game presser. They really need to have a culture change if they want to start winning in the post season.

    Great great win. I love it. Huge shot by Lillard.

    I do have a comment. Where are the people saying Lillard traveled. This is Harden's step back move and everybody is saying Harden Travels with his shot, so did Lillard travel? (Ofcourse Lillard did not travel just like Harden does not travel on 95% of his shots, just pointing out the hypocracy)

    Great shot by Lillard. And yes I’d rather have him in the playoffs than Harden. He doesn’t freeze in the clutch.
