I kind of feel sorry for Durant. Right now his career is tied to such a gigantic punk bitch like Westbrook. Hopefully he leaves that shitty team and finds a good situation.
Brooks with a couple dumb decisions already. Main one, rolling one a no Westbrook, no Durant lineup. Why submit yourself to that willingly?? Other one is that the defense is clearly not prepared. Spurs getting open corner 3s that the clippers were getting off of ball movement
I'll take it since the Thunder are allowed to foul our rebounders in the face and the Spurs can't even touch Durant. Stupid coaching is a good advantage when you have the best in the game.
The Spurs are being very physical, and not getting called for ANYTHING. We make a little move, and get fouled. Typical Spur BS. PS. They are clearly playing better though. I'm not blind. I just wish the calls were more consistent.
Yeah Brooks has no answer. Granted it's hard to figure stuff out on the fly with Ibaka out, but he's lost right now. Throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks
You can get away with it if Splitter is the only big out there, but it looks like OKC didn't know how to defend with KD at center. Look unprepared. It can work in small stretches but they looked lost doing it
A few observations: The SAS are playing better team ball. The communication just is obviously better tonight. The Thunder seem to be playing nervous. Derek Fisher is awesome. It feels like a much bigger deficit than it is. I'll take it. I knew KD was probably going to play some C tonight, and I'm sure there will be more ideas tried. Reggie should be getting more chances tonight, as he seems to be on.
Thunder didn't rush Westbrook back, granted a completely different scenario with the regular season. But it seems OKC understands long term/short term balance.
I read earlier today that game 3 could be an outside chance (to some people), but I just don't see it. Granted we've gotten hardly any real detailed information on the injury, so it's hard to say, but when the team says he is out for the playoffs, I believe he is out for the playoffs. Again, this isn't the Patriots here.
