    Props to Battier for making Durant work for his game.

    lmao @ people blaming Westbrook for taking that last shot. Some of you automatically plan on blaming him.

    still ,if the ball is in westbrooks hands most of the time, he has to see the floor and make plays instead of predictably going to the hole or chucking it everytime. Westbrook's predictable moves with the ball is why OKC has trouble in crunch time.

    It is what the media has been saying, so it must be true!

    I believe Adelman can coach OKC much better than Brooks has done.

    see, that shot clock violation was all on KD. he can't beat his guy off the dribble, can't take a shot. it's baffling what is transpiring w/ KD.

    Scott Brooks on full display. Rule #1: WB MUST give up the ball before 16 seconds left in the shot clock.

    anybody who watches the game sees that westrook looks for durant, durant gets locked up off the ball, then westbrook is forced to force up a shot.

    true, but he's not a pure PG so his playmaking skills aren't at that elite level. the same case can be said with drose.

    but he's not their #1 guy. and this is his first year as a superstar. he's learning all this on the fly.

    EDIT: but KD just made a 3. that's the only shot he can create for himself. if KD misses that, it's another bad shot. this team is purely a jumpshooting team down the stretch if you can shut down westbrook's driving lanes.

    And that is why Kevin Durant should always get the ball at the end of the game

    Agreed. Scott Brooks is the problem.
