Westbrook

Gets fucked up by Griffin and promptly scores 9 in a row for te Thunder. On track for another triple double. Would that be 3 in four games. He's incredible. The bullshit needs to stop.

Crazy how he was playing like shit like 1-7 shooting and then you turn away. Next thing you know he is having a great game.

I figured after last year when OKC went 3-6 in playoff games when Westbrook was out that it would stop.

It's funny the first round matchups were much more intriguing than the 2nd round. Miami vs whatever drecky east team they roll out for them is a yawn fest. Indiana/Wizards...who the fuck cares? Spurs/Portland looks like a mis-match. Clippers/OKC looks to be a decent series but I don't actually believe the Clippers have a good shot to actually win it. Wake me up when the Heat beat OKC/Spurs in 6.

Water is wet, but these refs are terrible.

Why the fuck do the Thunder still play Derek Fisher? I get that he's a respected veteran, good professional, and has hit big shots, but he's fucking horrible. Why is he getting 10-20 minutes every game?

Agree. For how awesome the first round was the second round has been unwatchable.

Only one series worth a damn which is the Clippers/OKC and this is the first competitive game in the series.

Pacers-Bullets has set basketball back about 25 years.

Paul and Griffin go off and they lose at home? Now gotta win out at home and steal another one at OKC? I doubt it.

I think OKC-Spurs, Heat-Pacers which is what everyone predicted in November.

Durant and Westbrook are hiding how bad Brooks is. Westbrook pounds the ball until there is 5 left on the shot clock. The weak ass Clippers (these guys play no D) leave him wide open for a 3.

Not sure I agree about Paul going off. He's been pretty much nonexistent in the 4th quarter, a very disapointing showing IMO.
Griffin was great but they needed more from Paul

21 points, 15 assists and 0 turnovers is a great game by a PG.

Don't fall into the trap of blaming the super star because his team lost. Them getting nothing out of Collison/Crawford/Reddick killed them while Butler was great for OKC.

they needed more from him in crunch time.
I also agree they needed more from those guys, crawford especially was a disappointment tonight

Crawford got 20 on 6-18 shooting in 25 minutes. Pretty inefficient. Doc had a shitty game too. Get Dudley the fuck outta the game. He was playing good minutes in the 4th. A few years ago, he was decent, but he's terrible now. I know the look test doesn't mean shit, but he looks like a bummy YMCA hooper, not an NBA player.

The Clippers really lost because they played terrible defense. Ibaka is going to hit open 18 footers all day. Almost every shot he took was wide open. That's his shot. Butler had like 3 wide open 3's. I think only one of them was challenged and the defender was late. Same with the Westbrook 3 towards the end.

Dudley and Big Baby should never play a meaningful 4th quarter minute. Both were liabilities on offense and defense.

This was a game the Clippers had to win and I felt they were going to win. I mean OKC gift wraps them 6 free points on dumb fouls to end the 3rd quarter.

OKC always looked in control yet the Clippers led the game after three. I don't see OKC losing this series now.

tequilla's silence in this thread speaks volumes

This fucking playoffs sucks now because its back to being predictable.

And I'm sick and fucking tired of the Spurs. If not for DaJuan Blair getting kicked out they lose in the first round and Dallas makes the playoffs more interesting. Thunder Spurs will be a good series but I could care less who wins. Miami will coast to the finals.
