    One play does not determine the game.

    I know Scotty didn't play a lot in 4th but he was probably a star at some point.

    Yeah that's the rule. Haslem had the rebound then Harden tied him up.

    harden might be playing himself out of okc. They might not match a max offer from another team or sign/trade him possibly.

    Westbrook was the only reason the Thunder were in this game so he is not to blame even with the dumb foul.

    they didn't lose b/c of that play. They lost b/c Harden shrunk from the spotlight. They lost b/c Durant didn't alleviate some of the responsibilities from WB in the 4th. They lost b/c they didn't stop the Heat's scrubs.

    People who love to point to a play here or there as the reason why a team loses really lose perspective.

    I honestly don't think WB meant to foul. Again, I think he did that thing some NBA players do, lunging for the ball after a whistle.

    Everything in this series, honestly, has been on Scott Brooks. Playing Perkins, playcalling, the 5 sec situation. Everything.

    They were still down by 3 when all of this happened. You guys are acting like OKC would go down and hit a miracle 3 to tie it. This particular play did not lose the game for them. Chalmers won this game for Miami. 24 points is just insane for him.

    Oh well. Without Westbrook, the Thunder wouldn't even be in this game.

    Scott Brooks is a poor coach. It's on him for not telling his team about the rule. It's on him for playing Perkins even though he's awful.

    you can't blame westbrook. you blame everyone who put him in that situation like harden who went 2-10 and brooks who didn't alert westbrook.

    To be honest that 5 second issue whatsoever is the least of things that cost OKC this game, so i wonder why the brunt about it.

    I don't find murder humorous. Your joke was not only bad but in poor taste.

    Don't get defense because it backfired on you.
