    Beautiful Dunk. One of the best in-game dunks I've seen.

    Looks like the same play that Van Gundy would run for T-Mac so many times.

    I don't even know if we should call it a play. It's just a downscreen to get the player the ball, and then ISO, lol. Everyone else just stands around, just like we did with McGrady.

    Just what I was thinking. 'Give the ball to Durant and let him score' isn't exactly a plan. But, it works.

    I have a feeling it won't work in the finals when the Heat have Lebron and Battier to throw at him on isos.

    Tonight is game 7 for the Spurs. They have more pressure than OKC. If they lose, stick a fork in 'em. They know it and I expect them to dig deep and leave it all on the floor. TP and Manu will be wild animals out there and we may see TD turn back the clock (if he can). Their role players could be the difference.

    First thought is I don't like the move for the Spurs. But if they blast out to a big early lead, smart decision. I'm all for reducing Danny Green's minutes though.

    Manu Ginobili starting for Spurs tonight. Happy, @johnhollinger?

    Spurs just sprinting to the basket every play. Crazy aggressive.

    Those fouls against Ibaka are two things I absolutely HATE about the NBA. Garbage.

    Love seeing Westbrook and Durant attack the basket these past couple trips. If the officials are going to call it that tight on drives (see Ibaka's first foul against Parker), KD and Russell can make a living at the line.

    I think it is a game 7 for both teams.......if OKC doesn't get this one,I think they lose this series. Game 7 in SAS would be crazy pressure for OKC's role players.

    Both of them were terrible calls. Parker initiated all the contact on the 1st, and Manu shouldn't get rewarded for intentionally checking up with the guy sprinting right behind him.

    I hope this one doesn't end up like Heat/Celts game 4. Referees are the stars so far.
