Western Conference Finals: (1) San Antonio vs. (2) Oklahoma City

Did Harden guard LMA? Who was on him?

 

Wow. Brooks' postgame interview is concerning.

He said he felt the season was successful and said that many great coaches/teams do not win titles. Not something that I would want to hear from a coach with two top 10 NBA talents in their primes. OKC's goal should have been at least the finals, at worst.

 

Durant must develop a post game. He will get more touches just from posting up and either score or make a play from the post.

And that would REALLY open up their halfcourt offense.

 

Wow. Sounds like he's given up.

 

If LeBron doesn't do it, no way in hell is KD developing a post game. Although, it would really benefit him to develop a Nowitszki-esque post game.
Also Durant needs to grow some balls and hold Westbrook responsible. Sure it wasn't Westbrook's fault that they lost, but why the hell is Mr. MVP deferring down the stretch?
With every possession that Durant plays passive, Westbrook loses faith in him and tries to do things himself.

 

He shouldnt be but OKC might be too cheap to realize they need to change in a big way

 

They ever convict the OKC fans that threatened Beverly?

 

Lebron did develop his post game after 2011. And that really opened up their half-court offense.

PRior to that, it was pick and roll or iso to death. Now although Lebron may iso in the post, it will force double teams without using a pick and roll and open up more cutting lanes and easier 3pt shots.

Hope the torrent for this game is available tomorrow. Had to entertain a guest today, and missed the game. :/

 

Agreed...by developing a post game like LeBron did...he will become even MORE lethal of a player.

 

Like A_3PO has said many times on here, Brooks is a bonehead. He's probably worse than McHale. If OKC had balls they'd fire Brooks ASAP. But he'll probably be back next year...maybe he'll be on the hot seat. With Durant and Westbrook only having 2-3 years left on their contracts, the Thunder's window is closing. I think one or both will leave if OKC hasn't won a title by then and Scottie's still the coach.

 

"San Antonio has the biggest fans" lol

 

Hmmmm, haven't noticed LeBron resort to it too much during the post season.

 

called it

 

He doesn't have to bang. He doesn't have the strength. He can be like Dirk and kill it from those mid to high post.

He needs to do that so the offense can be more diverse.

 

So now, will they acknowledge it was wrong to break up the trio of Durant, Westbrook and Harden?

 

He's there enough to diversify their offense. It is a go-to play in the Heat's offense.

Wade posts up too.

 

Harden would of been like ginobli right now

Jackson sucks at passing the ball

 

I don't know why Adams was on the bench and not Fisher.
