    Durant is mailing it in, but Harden and Westbrook to an extent are keeping them afloat.

    Is it just me, or the refs allow much more contact in the Heat and Bulls series? Was there ever a missed OKC drive without FTs? Sure, Westbrook and Harden are very good at it, but come on, conference finals, they should allow some kind of interior defense.

    Make Harden your PG for the rest of the series (if it goes that far) and let Westbrook play the 2..

    Westbrook Gladly gives Harden the ball and goes to his comfortable 2 guard spot

    Hardens playmaking abilities in the playoff has been a pleasant and impressive suprise for me. I always thought he was a crafty finisher and good shooter with some pick and roll skills... but not to this level.

    Alright I've gotta give Westbrook his props, guy is stepping up big (along with Harden). Durant is nonexistent.

    There is so much talent on this Thunder team. A real NBA coach like Rick Adelman could make them unstoppable. Too bad this is their last game of the season.

    Harden cannot come out of the game. He's the straw.

    Not trying to derail the thread, but everytime I see Harden get his shot with ease I wonder how the hell they stop Wade or LeBron.

    Is it just me, or does Dirk seem to have take every 3rd quarters off during the playoffs, only to get back to work in the 4th? Todays game, 1-3 fg 2 pts in the 3rd, just like game 4.

    this series has soured me on westbrook. He'll be a great player(he already is), but he needs to mature.

    Alright Collison probably should've gotten loose ball foul there.

    NBA officiating is just too subjective and swing randomly.

    Terry's played some great defense tonight.

    Time for Dallas to show they've got the killer instinct.

    I was rooting for OKC all game but some of these calls are really turning me off. Collison probably should've been called for 2 or 3 fouls on Dirk this quarter already and the Thunder are getting to the line with ease.
