    I'm sure Durant and co feel the same way. It's all about the moral victories!

    The Thunder really need an offensive minded coach. Way too much ISO for Westbrook and Durant.

    Westbrook hogs the ball, and has no PG instincts whatsoever

    Duncan doesnt alienate his teammates and is unselfish


    I laugh at people who say Westbrick is more feared thhan Kevin Durant


    Durant could average 34 ppg, if he had a PG give him the damn ball

    That being said, i would mind Westbrook on the Rockets

    Nah, the refs could be in favor of the Thunder and the Thunder would still be losing.

    The Spurs are running like a finely tuned machine right now. Good experience for the growth of this young Thunder team.

    I think we all knew the Spurs were the best team in the Playoffs. I didn't know the spurs were so good they would make me question the conspiracy theorist in me. I just knew the Thunder and Heat would meet in the finals, but after 1.5 games... wow.

    Scott brooks doesn't seem to make any adjustments.

    Nature of the point guard position and inability to watch/appreciate defense away from the ball. KD is struggling to get separation from Leonard and get to his spots, but the average fan just watches the ball and sees Russell dribbling it up. Westbrook isn't without blame, but the Spurs are pushing them out of their comfort zones and everyone needs to adjust - not just Westbrook.

    You need a system to win. Iso ball does not work in the games that count.

    It's like watching tmac and Yao against the Jerry Sloan system. It's maddening to see that you have superior players and yet still lose because of an inferior system.

    TNT halftime. Kenny and Chuck: accurate and thoughtful analysis about differences between Spurs and Thunder offense. Shaq: dumbass cliches.

    I wouldn't say the thunder have superior players. Parker is just as good as westbrook with a lot more experience and the same could be said about harden v manu. Durant is a better player than Duncan right now but the rest of the spurs are better as a whole than the rest of the thunder. The talent level between the teams is very close.
