    LOL - well it would be nice if he made his point blank uncontested shots too.

    Not being a scorer is OK. Being 6'10-11 and not only NOT DUNKING, but blowing WIDE OPEN LAYUPS is not OK. Layups are like the the basic thing in Basketball 101. Even if you cannot shoot a wide open shot, you still have to make a layup and at his height, DUNK THE FREAKING BALL!

    I watched the game, esp. the end, and to me at least, it looked like the 1st option on each of the last 3 possessions (at the 20s mark) was to shoot the three, but they were defending it well (surprise, the Thunder are a good defensive team though last night wasn't their best effort).

    So, instead of wasting time passing it around to hopefully find an open 3pt shooter, they did the wise thing and drove for an easy 2 which only ate a few seconds off the clock. That's better coaching in my mind than what comes out of this board.
