Shows you how good Kobe is almost missing the playoffs with him in there. I will laugh my ass off if the Lakers amnesty him.
He was gassed. His team sucks around him. No one else could do anything on offense. I was texting my friend in the 3rd quarter that Durant was getting tired.
speaking of carry, durant palms and carries the ball every single time he dribbles. he also gets to the line off the most ridiculous phantom foul calls possession after possession. great player, but like wade he does benefit from nba marketing and promotion interests.
I think the refs got tired of OKC's b****ing. They started giving us some very one-sided calls near the end of the game. Karma.
OKC fans were chanting " Ref you suck!" guess they got annoyed. Please Rockets fans, don't do this at TC
I honestly don't think we are going to win game 6. Durant isn't going to have another 0 point fourth quarter and Martin isn't going to go 1-10.
Durant is showing the world he's on Rudy Gay's level. J/K, still the 2nd best player in the league. Awful, awful coach though. As a fan of CP3 and the Clippers, I can relate more than anyone.
so durant is still passive without westbrook. maybe westbrook really wasn't 'taking" shots from durant but more of kd's b****assness
Not aimed at you but this is funny since people blame Westbrook for him not averaging 40 points a game. I hope those folks now see why Westbrook shoots so much.
It was "Refs You Suck". Which is strangely ironic since they are the most babied team in the league. What do they want? To go to the free throw line 100 times a game?
Durant is playing way too passive. From the 12 minute mark to 2:30 left in the fourth quarter, Durant attempted just two shots and attempted another 3 shots in the final 2:30 when the game was pretty much out of reach for OKC. In game 4, Durant only attempted one shot (and it was a miss) between 12 minutes to 1:30 in the 4th quarter. In game 2, he was only 0 for 2 between 12 minutes till the clutch three he made at the 2:28 mark.
Ya he was gassed. Garcia and parsons really made him work and towards the end he wasn't able to blow by them. Lets hope his legs are done for game 6. Kinda reminds me of when tmac had those 3 good quarters vs the jazz but was too tired to close out the games. I'm so glad we have depth and players willing to step up
I agree haha i couldn't believe some of the calls we got but we were still the better team tonight. Also I think Durant is a massive stud and definitely the most efficient and best scorer in the game. They need a pure point guard on there team or perhaps try Westbrook Jackson Thabo and Durant line up. Jackson has stepped up big time this series much better then Martin...
OKC's offense is basically iso hero ball, with the odd screen. Westbrook is amazing at creating open shots from that situation, not so great at hitting them, Durant is a bit of the opposite. If you want Durant scoring 40 without running himself off his feet, you need someone who actually creates catch and shoots for him. That he scores as much as he does, with his efficiency is a testament to just how bloody good he is.
Its so much easier to support him and watch him play now that he is not playing against the Rockets, looks like the Thunder are starting to figure out how to play without Westbrook and Durant finally taking the amount of shots he deserves and feeling comfortable with it. Reggie Jackson is turning it up also, i'm liking them for the west! Good game Kevin Martin
