    Harden was doing strange things at the end of the game. I've never seen him missed 2 FTs in a row, throw away 2 balls in the final minutes and not shoot the 3 at the end. Disappointed, but not out yet.

    Gotta learn how to close games. With another good player this summer closing games will be easier. Won't be down by 26 either...

    Without Asik, we don't get any rebounds.

    Okay let's not act like those were his last two free throws or shot attempts either.

    At least we knocked Westbrook out the playoffs. I hope the Heat sweep them in the finals

    If Harden didn't play at all would we still have won?

    I am pretty hard on harden. But what do you expect? McFAIL doesnt optimize his players all season or keep them accountable. Harden is worn down. Fowards are handling the ball too much. TOs is bound to happen. Our team High TO Proves that. McFAIL dd not even try to put a pg in the last 4 minutes. He doesnt value that position or even try to develop it and it shows.

    Harden is not a superstar yet. He is a very good all star player. Hopefully all this season and playoff experience will make him better.

    Moral Victory.

    or is it?

    We lost to the westbrookless Thunder at home.

    Yeah, probably not.

    Big difference between stinking on the road when you're up 2-1 in a series, and stinking at home when you're down 0-2 in the series. BIG difference.

    This is where the coach is suppose to step in and make the proper adjustments to get the train back on the right track.

    You're right. At the same time, with less turnovers and the same crappy coaching, we'd be up 2-1

    He got killed against Ibaka game 1. I don't think Smith could have really helped.

    Shaq...

    Shaq routinely missed free throws like that...

    But why didn't Brooks get any minutes?
