Westbrook just needs to play like this. Know when to attack and know when not to. He missed a lotta makable shots.
whether the heat win or lose this series. they should make a plan on what to do with wade in the future because it's obvious, he will be done by 32 years old.
My other team is doing it up. I must say I watch this team and love how they play. They play like those old 90's teams who had some rythm to their team. They play like the Rockets. Scott Brooks has captured that pace there. Good going OKC.
What was with Westbrick not passing to Durant? There were so many times where Durant had an inside position, iso situation, looking for the ball but Westbrick just refused to pass it in. Is it just stupidity or jealousy? I just can't understand why you don't feed one of the most talented scorers this generation as much as possible. Everyone on the Thunder is playing their role so well: collison is scrappy, fisher is veteran, iblocka expanding an offensive game, thabo has real intangible value (unlike battier). I just can't stand WB making knucklehead plays even if he brings electricity and "it's on me" mentality to the court. When the Thunder can't afford everyone in the offseason, somehow I'd love to see if the team would really perform worse by trading "down" to a cheaper, PG.
The Thunder are like the Terminator: they will not stop coming at you EVER. Lebron & the Heat aren't used to this level of relentless determination. They are accustomed to the other team throwing in the towel at some point - in effect conceding their superiority. Boston had OKC's mindset which is why they extended the Heat to 7 games but could not physically execute it. And remember, it took epic games from Wade & Lebron to get to a game 7 with the Celtics. San Antonio was murdering OKC in those first two games of the WCF and then boom. Once they got rolling, it was all over for the Spurs. These Finals represent the greatest challenge the Lebron & the Heat have yet to face. Here, with the Thunder, they are facing a supremely athletic team that does not fear them and will not stop coming at them. We'll see if the Heat truly does have as Rudy T put it "the heart of a champion".
They did. Did you not see Durant abuse him early in the 4th quarter. Shane can't stay with KD laterally.
He was on him a few time in the 4th. Only time Durant scored was when James went for a steal, Haslem made a terrible rotation, and Durant got a foul call. James did a great job of fronting him. LBJ & Durant showed they are the best 2 players in the NBA. Durant showed he was the better scorer, and LBJ showed a more complete game. Exactly what people have been saying.
This is such a stupid post. Westbrook almost had a triple double with over 20 points scored. He also had 11 assists. With the Thunder leaving Harden on the bench tonight, both Westbrook and KD had to score for them to win, and they did.
