    This game is very hard to read. OKC was more than willing to give up the entire lead in the 3rd quarter but the sorry Clippers would have none of it.

    CP3 needs his superstar power to hopefully do something to make this a series. Or else all 2nd round series will be done by 5 games.

    If OKC could just get off a legit shot attempt every possession they would have closed this out. But the dumb TOs are killing them. Too much improvising and too little systematic offense.

    So you let a player just dribble full court straight to the rim with zero resistance out of a timeout? WOW.

    no, talent is not overrated on Clips. OKC has 2 unstoppable superstars and great individual defenders. Both coaches are not that good, doc moreso.

    WB and BG with 5 fouls each. Huge factor.

    Absolutely overrated. "Look at all these names on paper! OMG!" In reality, not that great.

    Unstoppable superstars? Tell Memphis that.

    CP3 is working that ball denial, but it is the help defense that is shutting down KD.

    Jamal Crawford has anticipated that pass twice already

    The times Durant got the ball, he got a bad shot or can't even get a shot v. CP3. this is baffling right now. Durant has freaking 10 inches on the guy.

    This is where lack of an offense kills OKC and makes them vulnerable late in games against teams that load up against KD. The incompetence is incredible to watch.

    The best way to stop KD is by getting under him. This is what Tony Allen does and what CP3 is doing now. They need to run plays to get him open instead of using up 20 seconds of the shot clock just getting him the ball.

    OKC is trying to force feed Durant but they're wasting time.

    Durant is like: "I"m the MVP for a reason."
