    Actually, Sefalosha didn't have to score any points this game. OKC won by more than 19. :p

    OKC was up 9 going into the 4th quarter in Game 1. Spurs dominated the fourth quarter, but they certainly didn't dominate the game.

    OKC up after 3 quarters and spurs were dominating 3/4 of it? :confused:

    I would like to hear your logic in this

    I think he/she means OKC dominated 3/4 of it.

    Wow, what a beatdown. This same defensive effort got them the lead in game 1 heading in the 4th. It's about the defensive consistency.

    OKC could easily be up 2-1 right now. That's the beauty of the playoffs. In a series of 2 very competitive teams, very little separates the two.

    they shot 6-22 on 3's and the spurs shot 11-26. and the thunder won by 20. that's about the biggest disparity between the 3 point shooting and the final margin i've seen. harden's lucky bank shot aside, the thunder could have certainly traded some of their 2 point jumpers for hitting a few more of their open 3's. and the spurs weren't exactly off.


    regarding duncan going 5-15. you mean he won't get suckered into taking 15 shots or he won't only make 5 again? maybe not on the former, but what will change with regards to the latter? he shot 2-11 in game 2. and going on 4 or 5 years as long as you have a body between the duncan and the basket he hasn't been a highly efficient player. he might not shoot 7-26 (27%) but the fact he shot very poorly in the games where he wasn't getting layups created for him by others isn't that shocking. it's largely par for the course.

    I do not see how the Spurs got this..... but maybe it's just me.... Spurs has an important advantage in Home Court

    but OKC moved closer

    Rumor has it Manu may start tonight with Danny Green coming off the bench. If that is the case, OKC should keep Thabo on TP and put Westbrook on Manu. In game 3, Manu showed some frustration because of Westbrook's ball-denial.

    I don't know if starting Manu is a good idea for the Spurs. Whether it's true or not, I'm sure Pop has other adjustments for tonight.

    Perkins is the leading scorer? Hmmm... Mayans were right.

    He'll be lucky to score one more FG tonight. ;)

    9 pts, 6 rebs might be his quarter of the season.
