[Western Conference Semi-Finals] Oklahoma City vs Memphis

I agree with barkley. Durant should not have the ball in his hands so much. Sure, it helps him get in rhythm to score. It also wears him out by the end of the game. The thunder need westbrook.

 

If you honestly believe this, you have no earthly clue at all.

 

I disagree with Durant being trash.

Physically, I just can't see Durant playing the 4 that much when both Z-Bo and Marc are in. Coupled with what he does on offense it just seems exhausting. He's cooled off in every single fourth quarter.

He's just too skinny. He's not Lebron.


Also, he's going up against Tony Allen and Marc Gasol.

 

Lol, people wanted the grizz more than any other team in the first round. I wanted the nuggets all along.

 

LOL

Kenny: I love Tony Allen, man. Would love to play with him

Charles: you play with him, you wouldn't get to play.

 

I'm saying that, if KD is having a bad time, WB is usually plan B. There's never been a time where the only trustworthy person on offense was only KD.

And really? Try something different from one of the best offensive players in the game? If Brooks does that, he'll get burned in effigy because he gave it to Ibaka / Fisher / Martin / etc. for the final shot.

Even though this isn't a Thunder fan site, I guarantee you guys would call Brooks names if a person other than Durant took the final shot and missed.

If Durant takes it: "Wow, the same play doesn't work. Brooks sucks."
If Durant doesn't take it: "Wow, Brooks didn't draw the final play for Durant, and _____ missed it. Brooks sucks."

 

Barkely: "Greater ain't a word"

 

Should've signed Harden, amnestied Perkins, and looked for vets willing to take a paycut to fill in the front court.

 

I'm not talking about just taking the final shot. I mean the entire 4th quarter.

Thunder fans already don't have much respect for Bonehead and haven't for quite some time. That ship has sailed.

 

Why is Fisher playing 27 mpg?

This guy is the sixth man for the Thunder?

What a joke.

 

Hate to say it, but if you replaced Durant with Lebron, this Thunder team would win this series and make it to the Finals.

 

The coach doesn't know any Xs and Os. He pretty much put Durant in a bad position because he kept calling isolations over and over. Add that with no rebounding and its lights out. Not really Durant's fault because he had no help via teammates or coaching.

 

i can't believe kevin martin was the best player on the rockets at one time

 

WB is out and Reggie Jackson isn't experienced enough to play heavy heavy minutes.

 

I think most coaches would have KD in iso down the stretch of the games.

 

Durant got looks that he normally makes. No biggie.

I don't know why but I really like memphis. Apart from the rockets I can't ever get too happy with another team's success but memphis just reminds me a lot of the rockets this past decade for some reason.

 

I absolutely agree. I don't know what Brooks is thinking. Maybe he is looking for the "old Laker magic," but all he is getting is "old." Players are running around Fisher like he is a chair. Yes, he made the one three, but that is all he made, all game. He is a defensive liability, he camps out at the three point line, hoping to recapture past glory, but the bottom line is that he is a huge liability. Besides he has a big butt and he is ugly.

 

I like them a lot too. They play gritty and aren't a team of floppers. The poster "what" nearly ruins them for me though.
