    I think Parker will play but Mills will get a lot of minutes.

    Pop doesn't like to mess with his bench rotation, I think we'll see more of Corey Joseph if Tony's minutes are limited. Patty's minutes more than likely won't be affected.

    Apparently GS planned a walk-off had Sterling not been banned (per Mercury News).

    Yeah, that would have killed ad money. This is all about advertising money, with a minor in angry players.

    ha, the strange scheduling continues. They didn't want Houston to be playing at 9:35 so they scheduled the Spurs for 6:05 and Houston for 8:35 (local time).

    They scheduled multiple Heat games in the finals for 9:10 local time so I don't get why 8:35 is the latest they'll go for Houston.

    Thank god the board went down last night, or I don't know what I would have said.
    To say I was irate would be putting it lightly.
    It's nice that our season is on life support thanks to one Little Nicki looking BS ref that should be fired.

    Yeah that was complete BULLSHIT!!

    You're telling me he couldn't wait until after Durant shot the second free throw before complaining about the bonus on the scoreboard?

    Fuck! I am so pissed about that.

    It will go to 7, I think Durant goes off on Thursday.

    I have to agree here.

    What pisses me off the most about this series is the amount of shots Westbrook is taking. He needs to know his role better and let Durant have the rock. Westbrook shot the ball 30+ times last night. He was something like 11 for 32. He needs to stop shooting so much. They will never dominate unless they let Durant take the 20+ shots

    I think it's more of an issue of Westbrook not getting other teammates involved. I wouldn't mind Westbrook taking more shots as long as he's not turning the ball over and is getting assists in the process.

    He doesn't seem to get other teammates involved on a consistent basis. Durant can't do it on his own anyway. He needs Westbrook out there.

    Thunder will never win a ring until they find someone that can score in the low post.

    I also think Durant has been getting a pass this playoffs, he's been playing pretty bad - Tony Allen is one of hell of a defensive player, but man take it to the rim stop shooting so many 3s

    Correct. I'm not saying Durant is the only one to shoot, but he needs to get him the ball more. If you look at LeBron in Miami, he is clearly their best player. He usually averages the most shots with Wade and other teammates taking their turn. Wade rarely averages more shots than him, even when he was healthy. Westbrook and Durant remind me of Wade and LeBron in their first season together. There was two guys competing for the top job and things imploded. Once Wade surrendered the main duties to LeBron, they have been a force ever since. Westbrook needs to learn his role. He can take his shots but he needs to feed other guys and let Durant be the guy.

    I won't get into the dumbass plays being called off timeouts either. Who draws up a play for Durant to shoot a shot from five feet behind the three line off balance? Ridiculous

    Haha, I think we said the same thing differently. Def agree.

    Feel bad for Durant, seems at one point they were going to be going to the finals every year, now it's looking less and less likely.

    I think Durant is far too loyal to OKC to leave, but you really never know.
