    Thank you, if you are open you have to shoot it. Their defense is rotating too well to pass up on open shots.

    Lol the closest we can ever get in these games is like 4-7 points

    We'll be down 9-12 in a second. Rinse and repeat.

    Gordon and Nene are the only ones who feel like playing today. Let them cook.

    This is what I don't get. People were so quick to say we would win in 4 or 5. This is what's different about the 2015 team. They didn't sleep on teams as much as we did this year. We can't have a big lead and not worry about losing it. Same thing, we start off slow and get claw back enough.

    Pathetic.

    nene can roll and pass. actually goes after loose balls (sorta, better than everybody else). and gordon decides that on 3 wide open 3's this quarter that he can actually score on 1 of them.

    well we've made our run, time to relax and let okc go on a 11-2 run right back at us. i say over the next 2:23.

    Correct. Have shown no ability to consistently defend them.

    Didnt look like it. Looked like our strategy was to not contest and wait for the shot clock to run out. No effort defense again. And we got lucky that Westbrook bricked it.

    so hopefully MDA has realized that Clint is the main negative. please do not start him in game 5 even if we win this

    and regardless of it was ariza/ryno out, the big difference is gordon being in with the starters.
