    Vogel at the start of the 4th was right. We weren’t going to stay hot from the three. He was biding his time. That’s why I thought we would need Westbrook to start driving. Never happened

    We should deny ball on ad and bron next game, just leave rondo open. We can live with him taking mid ranges.

    Would've easily won this game if Westbrook showed up at all...

    Why is it year after year, Harden's sidekick has to disappoint so badly in the playoffs, Harden must really be cursed. He's destined to never win a ring.

    Well, we threw away a hot shooting night by not showing up in the 4th. And Russ.

    I normally love MDA, but putting Westbrook in to start the 4th was a huge mistake. He should have come back out in the 4th with the lineup that put 41 points on the Lakers in the 3rd. Was just a stupid stupid move to keep going back to WB there.

    Social Distancing from the basket isn't a good thing, no matter what Dr. Fauci tells you..

    This is the Achilles heel. Whenever we grab the lead we just keep playing like we are down 50 and jack up wild threes.

    You HAVE to adjust. I just don't get it. If we have the lead we want to generate the highest percentage shot on the floor. Sometimes that is a wide open three, but we keep playing that wild pass heavy offense where we hunt a three pointer at all costs. Just drive man. Take an open midrange. And for the love of God the most important thing when you have the lead is NOT turning it over.

    Everyone is afraid to say it, but Westbrook is uplayable.

    Literally zero reason to play Westbrook in the 4th. Dude was a walking turnover all night, jacking up threes, and couldn’t play any meaningful defense with 5 fouls. Where was Austin Rivers??? Dumbtoni cannot make in game adjustments for ****

    Westbrook was pitiful. What a waste. I still feel optimistic about winning the series but man, Westbrook has to drive to the ****ing basket at will and hit his freethrows.

    Need to get even faster on D. Can’t keep on giving up transition buckets. LBJ and Davis are going to get theirs just can’t make it easy for them.

    On O really need Westbrook to show up. Again a bad shooting quarter can cost us the series if we can’t do something to offset it
