    you having to draw plays for your best player to get the ball in your hands is a dumb problem.

    Did cp3 need plays drawn for him? Has Murray needed plays for him? Has Mitchell needed plays for him? Has Tatum needed plays for him? Has Butler needed plays for him? Nah guys take the ball and guys gtfo of the way because you can't stop them

    I disagree. Okc embarrassed us earlier in the year with clint. The only problem with our offense was turnovers. We threw the ball away several times when there wasnt even a defender there. We still attack the basket a lot we dont just jack up threes. Its not like last year where harden would just dribble for 20 seconds then do a step back or one pass and a forced contested 3.

    Yall are going nuts trying to find a million things to blame the loss on. Turnovers. Thats it. Since we are NOT a high turnover team i think we will be fine.

    Don’t have to worry about that with MDA. He’s drawing up plays for Westbrook. The same guy who had just turned the ball over twice and air balled a jumper lmao.

    Harden or Russ...doesn’t matter. They’re both master class choke artists in situations like that.

    I’m not shocked by Westbrook’s last few minutes at all. I shocked MDA drew up plays for him? I knew Mike comes up small in big moments but even I thought he was better than that? Does MDA not know who Russell is?!?!

    Why are people acting like the game came down to that one play?

    Harden in the 4th quarter. 6pts 1/6 FG (17%), 1/4 3FG (25%), 3/3 Free Throws, 2 Turnovers.

    In the last 4:01, Harden went 0-3 with a turnover.

    That 4th quarter was right there for the taking for Harden, and he didn't take it, while CP3 did.

    You Harden haters are literally pathetic here. Harden stated MDA wanted Westbrook to attack the basket in the final plays. You're nowhere to be seen when we're actually winning our games..... but as soon as we lose, it's Harden's fault. So predictable. I want us to lose the next game, so we don't have here you b****ing about Harden "costing" us the game against the Lakers. It's ******* tedious.

    Russ: *6 turnovers and an air ball*

    MDA: Russ! Go win the game for us with the play I drew up!

    Russ: *dribbles into a trap and throws the ball away for turnovers #7*

    MDA: :eek:

    ME: :rolleyes::oops:

    nah its not hating. it's reality. I don't need to say I think Harden is ultra talented. I've always said that. But I'll call him out when he deserves it. He absolutely deserves it tonight in a close out game with the game tied in less than 2 mins and he doesn't even want to the ball. Like at all

    You can call that "hater" all you want. It isn't. It's wanting your best player to actually show it just like any other stars do for their team. That's too much to ask? Apparently so since it's considered being a "hater" Im sick of people being called Harden hater when all they ask is for harden to show he is that good. That isn't actually an insult

    If game 7 is close the Thunder will win, so this gotta be how we won these three games in this series which is pull away cause Rockets isnt winning if this game goes down to the wire.

    Are we going to ignore the fact that OKC has had more free throws than us in every single game? It's the reason why they're winning their games.

    Every game we've won..... we've blown them out. Every game they've won.... it's been a close game decided by free throws.
