    Feels like the Thunder should be up 15, with the way Parker is playing. But Russ is offsetting him for the most part.

    Westbrick hits two in a row, okc will be lucky if anybody gets the ball next half.

    The amount of energy Russell plays with makes me think those shots are actually better than ones closer to the 3 point line

    That 1st half was hard to watch.

    The biggest enemy of OKC's offense is itself (not the defense). They do nothing to generate shots. Nothing to make it easy on the shooters or hard on defenders. There is no purpose when they bring the ball down the floor. As Sir Charles describes it: Atrocious. On the other hand, the Spurs do everything to get the best shot possible and they make the defense work very hard to stop it.

    Spurs are in a very strong position. OKC has no chemistry at all. WB is totally out of control. At some point in the 2nd half, the wheels will likely fall off for a period of time and the Spurs will pounce.

    As expected, Ibaka's presence changed the Spurs' attack. 41% for the half, on par with 43% when he was on the floor in the regular season.

    Spurs will shoot better, but OKC will calm down. WB was completely out of control, and cost them a bigger lead.

    But OKC will find a way to win this game. I can't see OKC going down 0-3. Just can't see it. Durant and WB will find a way to win this game, with Ibaka continuing to man the paint.

    Durant hasn't played well yet. He's due for a huge half/quarter.

    If Westbrook wasn't such a selfish moron, OKC would be up double digits

    For whatever reason I find it really charming that the whole Spurs bench just hopped up to applaud that Duncan banker, even though he's made that exact shot from that exact spot probably thousands of times over the years.

    As expected, WB and Durant going to take over and bring it home. They both haven't played well at all this series. Spurs can't keep them down all series.
