Has been a goddamn flop. I don't care if they come back and win the series (they aren't) this shit stinks. Carmelo is old and about done as one of those guys. Westbrook isn't as good as advertised either. I had him top 5 a few games ago but he isn't. Probably in the 7-10 range at best.

You can't build around Westbrook. Hell no. I missed on this one. This has been a disappointment. Didn't think they'd win a championship but they should have made more noise than this.

+130 Utah was easy money tonight. I know everyone is hurt to some extent after playing 6 months of basketball, but I think something’s up with Westbrook.

Westbrook is one of the most frustrating players I’ve ever seen.

You're probably old enough to remember Gerald Hayward at Hyde Park. He only cared about his numbers. Russ has a thousand times more talent but the same mindset.

Utah with Gobert protecting the middle takes away a lot of Westbrook's game. See if Gobert can keep Harden's drive and score/get to the line game in check next round. OKC might've tried a lineup with a big man who could shoot the 3 instead of Steven Adams helping clog the middle. But I don't know who the Thunder would have to play that role. Plus Adams is too important on both ends of the floor.

If there were more games on tomorrow, the NFL draft numbers would be WAY down tomorrow.

He is about 15 years too late with the way he likes to play. Iso, one man band, team goes as i go bullshit was the NBA circa 2003. Constantly calling his own number. You can't win like that.


Anthony should have been better too but sitting around waiting to take spot up 3's has never been his game.

His knees are shot and he couldn't iso for extended stretches even if he wanted too. This is on Westbrook though.

If you are going to be that guy then your team should be better than this. Enough talent on this team to where they should be better.

No Gobert and OKC is attacking the rim again

KAT seems exactly like the kind of player that needs the old school summer league ball a guy like Harden clearly benefits from.

Gobert with 5 pf. Jazz gonna have to try to weather the storm until at least the under 8 timeout in the 4th without Gobert.

He was 5 for 19 at one point; now 9 for 24. so made 4 out of his last 5, incl 2 3's.

IIT would have done wonders for him. There were guys that would have come at him up there. They'd have been so thirsty to play against an NBA All Star they wouldn't know what to do.

It does seem like it. The Late Brian Leach is going through a thang against Tim Hardaway apparently.

Paul George is just blowing by Ingles now. OKC and Utah have the best fans in the league.

Russell Westbrook is very good and very clearly not a problem with OKC. He and Paul George are doing everything they can.

When you shoot 5-17 with 8 turnovers in a game you’re part of the problem.

Don't know what switch has come on but god damn. Don't recall seeing anything like this in a playoff game.

Made the post games brew and Jack all the sweeter.

I can't count the times we ended up in our lot after ball games that ended 8-10 hours earlier.

As I'm sure that you can relate :lol: :lol: :lol:
