    He's a worse coach than McHale

    We woulda gotten swept against Lac. Maybe a game against okc. Need a great defensive coach to contain these offensive teams

    They really need to do something about this "Hack-a" strategy.

    Scott Brooks and McHale are perfect candidates for why you actually need a competent HC.

    Something needs to be done with this garbage intentional hacking...the NBA has to find a way to curb how often and how much its used...games are too long

    If Jordan gets better at the FT line, I wonder if that will push him into the top...6-7 or so centers in the league.

    lmao Lin is not an international player. Just because he's asian doesn't mean he is. He was born and grew up in the United States, just like other American players. Lin just isn't that great and not really a two way player.

    But it's funny how you grouped Lin in with international players just because of his skin color.

    i don't see why the nba should do anything about the "hack-a-____" strategy.

    if someone can't make their free throws why not exploit that weakness?

    it's like saying the nba should force the pacers to not play hibbert against miami because they can't guard centers.

    OKC needs offensive options.

    The superstars for both teams have combined for 49 points on 18/29 shooting.

    But okc is down by 20+

    I dont think you can blame Brooks, he just can't so much outside of KD and Westbrook which doesn't work in todays NBA

    Exactly!! FTs are a basic skill. I wish they do this more to embarrass the players who can't shoot a damn FT.

    Clips just on fire. This isn't the norm. And OKC will steal one in LA. But they need to close out on the 3pt shooters better.

    Boring game...turned this ish off...Never thought i'd ever say it with KD playing, but the Clippers and CP3 are putting on a clinic on precision offense, while OKC learned nothing about playing defense from Memphis.

    Their problem is defense tonight (but Clips just on fire). But still, 102 points before the 3rd is over is pathetic.

    OKC aren't going to win the championship until Durant/WB impose their will on the team defensively.
