Harden and Durant are the reasons they lost.

_________________

Blame The Beard. He choked big time.

That's the series. What a joke, even with the lopsided officiating and all the Thunder shrunk and played like a bunch of clowns. They had chances to win the last two
games.

17 fucking point lead, they blow it, get soft, leisurely jogging back after missed shots and general pants shitting....my god. This is the team that Goff thinks is the reason why the Bulls won't ever win another championship?

Thunder lose by 15+ on Thursday.

Disclaimer: I'm a sports reactionary.

This series is kind of why the 2-3-2 playoff format sucks. Even though B&B don't agree, I still think LeBron gets more calls than Durant.

so when the Thunder win game 5 don't act all re-interested

All the Thunder had to do was win 1 in Miami. That is still possible. Then they have 2 home games where they've lost once in the playoffs.

I wonder if there are OKC meatball fans blaming the beard.

It's that dang beard that Jimmy Hardone has that's makin us lose. He looks like one o them A-Rabs!

Westbrook had an especially nice game up until he channeled his inner Chris Webber. Damn shame, too, 'cause the Red Sox be damned but I don't see those OKC lads winning three in a row.

My only consolation on the night is that, based on this thread, I'm fairly confident that I wasn't the only person at home all giggly at the thought of LBJ pulling a Zambrano.

Harden for sure. Why Durant?

And Westbrook did his usual idiot play to completely erase a great performance.


That foul with 4 on the shot clock ended the game

Durant was MIA in the fourth quarter.

_________________

Westbrook also fucked up when he had hobbled Lebron guarding him, and he decided to pull up for the long jumper instead of driving on LBJ, and most likely getting himself to the foul line.

_________________

Well he took 3 shots, but Westbrook was on fire.

I guess he could have demanded the ball, but Westbrook was scoring anyway.


It just pisses me off that Westbrook fouled Chalmers. You likely would have had the ball with 30 seconds left down 3

Going into the 4th quarter Durant had 1 rebound. I don't know what he finished with but that can't happen. He has to be better than a taller T Mac.

Harden has clearly lost confidence in himself.

There were two instances where he was hesitant to take an open shot. One was a three, and the other was an elbow jumper from 15. That's unfortunate.

I heard someone on the radio talking about how the Heat's strength as a defense is Helping out and closing in the paint.

Thats Harden's bread and butter, driving the lane.

The outside shots usually come later, but he's usually a great playmaker.


Heat might just be too good (Hate typing that)

Yeah, that was my takeaway from last night.

Going to be fun watching the Heat wilt and OKC win the next 3.

Wasn't sure a new topic would get more interested eyes on it rather than putting it here, so it's here. An interesting 5-10 minute read, I think anyway.

If OKC can pull it out tonight they might have a shot. Otherwise LeBron is going to cry and kiss the trophy.
