    There's like zero defense in the first quarter. Durant and WB get to the rim untouched. And Crawford just weaves through like it's a night alley.

    WB on pace for another triple double. 10/4/4.

    So far this looks like a dead cat bounce for OKC. Clippers may lose tonight but the series is theirs unless an injury knocks them off track.

    Two can't beat five in a 7-game series.

    Don't be surprised if the Clippers win tonight. They are clearly better.

    Brooks is an idiot. You have 2 guys who are great w/ the ball but struggle to share it? Great! Let's sit them both at the same time!

    Sure, if they defend. WB/Durant going through them like they're ghosts. OKC doesn't play D for jack either though.

    Hence, why Spurs will roll around these guys.

    The Clips couldn't stop those 2 in game 1 either. They blew them out largely b/c of historic 3pt shooting, which isn't sustainable.

    Games with be close between these 2 teams, b/c they're both very good. Whoever plays some sort of defense will win them, and will win the series.

    Nobody can guard WB or Durant on the Thunder. This is scary going forward for Doc Rivers.

    But clippers have a better coach and more depth. I think they take this series.

    lol for sure, but I was more talking about no-call on Paul, and then the tech on Westy.

    Difference is clippers can use 5 guys to guard 2 players. Don't need to worry about the other 3. OKC should have seen this coming back in Jan. All these great defenders and no defense, and no offense to help out big 2. Gotta get a legitimate 3rd option or depth this offseason, even of it means trading Ibaka.

    Baffling all these athletes on the court, and nobody can play any defense.

    Seems like it's Miami v. SA part 2.

    Kerr is right. You play street ball under these conditions all the time. Just play the game.
