    Just terrible basketball down the stretch from both these teams. Missed free throws, bad passes, bad decisions.

    He's as close as you're going to get to MJ without the physical gifts.

    Wizards are done.

    The Eastern Conference finals could be really fun. This Indiana team has found their game back and Hibbert is back.

    This could get fun.

    Exactly, John Wall is. We all saw him dominate again today and carry his team to the title.

    Well that's a different scenario. That Ray Allen shot came off broken play and what not. Kind of like Westbrooks shot tonight. How was Durant supposed to get the ball, 7 seconds left and Westbrook got a deep 3 off with 1 or 2 seconds left. If he tried to find KD without Chris Paul sneaking in the way the clock could have ran out.

    Both Lebron and Durant have that instinct, but Lebron has that gift where he basically can get his shot or get a better shot for someone else, and he usually makes the correct decision.

    I never said John Wall was the best player in the league.

    That's true, but I still think Westbrook could have gotten Durant the shot. Durant called for it when Westbrook approached the three point line and there was enough time for Westbrook to take the shot and OKC to get a rebound. That's plenty to find Durant.

    Wizards have to win 3 in a row and 2 in IND. They way you approach this motivational is that you beat IND in IND already. After you do that, you come back home in front of your crowd and you aren't going to let them down. Then it's game 7 and you throw the first 6 games out the window, anything can happen.

    OKC didn't get the rebound. That's different to me. If OKC had a timeout, KD is getting that basketball. They didn't and to be fair, Westbrook got the better of Collison again and got a good look. He missed, that's the way it goes. OKC had trouble before that though. Letting Collison leak out, not finding a way to get the better of the CP3/KD matchup.

    You did. Several times.

    And I think Charles Barkley is going to conveniently forget tonight that he said the Pacers had no chance in the series.

    OKC did get the rebound. It was either Perkins or Ibaka that snagged it and put up a final shot. It was too late and it missed either way.

    Oops typo. I meant to say Durant didn't get the rebound. Sefolosha got it, and CP3 and Granger followed Durant as he tried to get the ball. If Sefolosha threw there, KD is double. Instead he got it to Westbrook. Westbrook might have had a pass but he needed to watch the trailer defender/Ibaka but he didn't have time to lob it either.

    No I never actually claimed that, what I meant in that post was that he was a real life interpretation of the best player in the league. I never actually claimed that he actually was.
