    i blame the nba scheduling this at the same time as the rockets for okc winning it. last game was so fun to watch. this game, not knowing what was happening, the comeback seemed so easy.

    and i don't like westbrook, think he stole harden's mvp, think he's in it for himself and stat-pads, but 45/15/7 in an elimination game against an elite defense taking over a game to come back from a 25 point deficit to save the season. that's pretty legendary.

    lebron's 45/15/5 in game 6 against boston was the first 45/15/5 playoff game since elgin like 50 years before. so this doesn't happen often. i mean i just looked up that he shot 39 times so i won't go overboard, but still amazing.

    this is why i don't wanna play okc. westbrook can give you this. george can have a 30 or 40 on any night. for utah, the ceiling is the roof. okc has something for you if they're focused.

    There’s always a chance OKC loses a game. Did people not watch this team this year?

    Russ was 5-19 and OKC was down 25!

    the amount of Westbrook dickriding that’s about to go down tomorrow :eek:

    all you’re gonna hear about is his “heart” and “passion”...smh, avoid all TV shows talking about sports tomorrow and all forms of social media starting right now

    This is unexpected. I thought this series is over when Utah was up by 25 points in the third quarter.:rolleyes:

    I thought we were clear. Nobody cares about the dumb ass Jazz winning. We strive for these OKC L's here!

    NOBODY IS ROOTING FOR THE JAZZ!

    This is good, an extended series. I hope it goes seven, but I want Utah to win. Don't want to see OKC in the next round. They are too volatile.

    This game is what clippers fans felt like after the J-Smoov/Brewer 3 point experience in game 6.

    Playing the percentages sounds like fun until a 29% 3 point shooter goes 6/8 from 3 and hits every mid-range jumper.

    I guess the best thing for us is they continue to have a hard fought series all the way to 7 games.

    Both teams have weaknesses I don't really have a preference who comes out of this.

    Yes, but let's also relish and enjoy a masterpiece 25-point choke by the Jazz when we see one. There is extreme pleasure to be had from that as well.

    Now, as far as Thunder Schadenfreude goes, bro you know me. We've been in this together all season long. I'm the 2nd biggest addict after you.

    I'll be here Friday night with the full juju and sending 33X NEGATIVE VIBES to the Thunder.

    GOBERT got in foul trouble and need to sit in the third quarter. Harden and chris paul would FEAST too in the paint at that scenario at home. But ofcourse they wont have to because there is no way they will be down 20 plus at home in the third even if they both start sucking in offense.

    Damn. They took it down. It was a video of Mitchell walking back to the locker room at the end of the game yelling see y'all next year to okc fans

    Hmn, don't get caught up in the moment. History of being up 3-1 in a series favors the jazz.

    I called that this would happen.

    Westbrook was bound to have a good game in this series, this was it.

    He has it in his mind now that he has to carry the team on his back and that never bodes well for the Thunder. You win by the Russ and you die by the Russ.

    Watching this series, I noticed the Jazz don’t have one of those little yellow patches on the back of their jerseys. What gives?

    Oh, right.

    LOL.
