    Yes and OKC's energy level in the 3rd quarter on offense wasn't good. No ball movement at all.

    That tells you how deep OKC is also. This is 2 very deep and talented teams going head-to-head. One is experienced, while the other is athletic.

    Harden still has a lot of growing up to do (as far as his game). People who think he is a franchise player are way off.

    Yes. That's what makes this series so great. This is a classic matchup of youth and talent vs. age and wisdom.

    okc putting on a clinic on how to lose a big lead. go ice cold, commit stupid turnovers, miss the easy shots you get, fall asleep on D to give up layups and 3's to ginobili and then harden at the end of the quarter not only got that terrible charge (blair can barely move, don't just turn straight into him) but managed to leave tons of time on the clock that luckily didn't result in points for the spurs.

    Refs really doing a good job letting them play.

    Don't really have a preference as to a winner, Spurs are repping Texas, but I do like Durant and Scottie Brooks.

    OKC played average I don't know what were you talking about. Harden and Westbrook played awful, Durant average. Durant was passing too much, yes he have 18/6/7, but that's not his numbers. You are best scorer in the league, play like that.

    It bothers me that Thunder didn't play with their best lineup even for a second. Sub out Perkins for Sefolosha and they will win, otherwise anything can happen.

    As much as I have come to appreciate Old Timer Basketball, I'd rather watch a young team emerge out of the West.

    Where's Thabo? I hope Scott Brooks is not thinking about finishing the game without him.

    OKC can't defend pick&roll with Ibaka and Perkins on the floor, how is this hard to understand? You can switch everything on pick&roll with Sefolosha.
