    Wiz game was entertaining, and this thunder game has been as well. Not sure what it is, but it seems no one on the thunder can catch a pass inside.

    Harden getting to the line like you think he shouldn't in the playoffs.

    Russ has looked like a gigantic pile of shit in the 4th.

    I actually hate watching the Thunder. Russ is so special but he's surrounded by absolute garbage.

    Westbrook, he'll never win anything.

    He had an elite player, ran him out of town.

    Now he's all alone, which no one can do themselves.

    Hot Taeks Wednesday!

    I disagree, Sabonis, Adams, Kanter (well least offensively) are solid players. They have no outside shooting, or decent back up ball handler at all. Their team construction/make up is poor.

    Solid maybe. But to kind of piggyback off of what S&L said, none of these guys are providing much reliable help.

    On a different note, I think the Rockets are one of the most intriguing teams in the playoffs. Barring a miracle, they'll meet up with SAS in the next round, and then what? Will they fold or take the next step and advance to the WCF?

    I wouldn't say he ran KD out of town. KD is just a beta *****.

    That may have been a reach to say that he ran him out of town. But my point is I don't think Westbrook is capable of being the Pippen to a Jordan. He wants to be Jordan and jack up 30+ shots a game (he had 43 damn shots last night). Durant is easily the second best player in the NBA, but Westbrook treated it like he was the best player on that team, and I think Durant didn't like that.

    Yeah. This is the impression I get.

    Really couldn't agree more.

    Westbrook is great. But I'm not sure you will see any other big name want to pair up with him. Which is what the NBA has come to.

    If the Thunder don't choke on a dick last year in the WCF, do we even use this argument?

    The Thunder are better than what people give them credit for (roster wise). But how can anyone look good when Westbrooks usage is 96%? It is ridiculous. It was fun to watch the TD record go down, but damn, I hope they play more normal basketball next year. They could actually be decent.

    Good point

    Westbrook had the highest % of assisting to his teammates points than any player in the league.

    No one is denying he's really fucking good.

    No one is calling him a ball hog or a selfish player.

    But you can't win in the playoffs with one player. Taking 43 shots in a game is ridiculous. You won't win doing that. Hence my original post, he'll never win anything.

    The Thunder choked that series, and a lot of the blame can go to KD for playing like complete ass. If KD doesn't play like complete ass they make the finals and how can we say that Westbrook can't coexist with another superstar?

    RW was 4-18 in the 4th quarter. He absolutely is a ball hog and he absolutely costs OKC the game last night.

    That is the story of the Thunder's season; RW gets stats by taking bad shots and not playing defense(he goes for the rebound rather than close out shots) and then the Thunder lose.

    Lebron is the MVP.

    I saw the stat, surprised me a little and I posted it. I'm not angry either way.
