    OKC were fucking horrendous.

    Paul George will cop shit for his 'Playoff P' moniker, but he's the only one who can hold his head high. Westbrook and Melo have been dire, Adams is woefully underused and the rest have been invisible.

    @barbarian
    The thing is there isnt much of a 'the rest' really they have been using players unless there is foul trouble or someone needs 2 minutes breather. No depth in the bench(or trust) so pretty hard to vary the game up.
    Dunno who I will support if OKC are knocked out. Probably on the sixers wagon or pacers

      LBJ carries the Cavs to another win. They are going to burn this guy out. This series he's averaging 43 minutes, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and 35 points. Fucking ridiculous.

        OKC is 24 mins away from being put out of their misery. Down by 15 pts at HT.

          Or not... 🙂

          OKC was down by 25 pts in the 3rd Q but come back to tie the game up at the end of that Q. Russ and PG finally showed up in the 4th.

            Russ runs away with the game in OT. OKC keep the wolves from the door for a couple more days

                I said OKC came back from 25 pts in the 3rd Q. My point was that all of the big 3 have largely disappeared in the 4th Q but this time both Westbrook and PG were making their shots in the 4th Q too so were able to get the win.

                  I think theywill still lose in 6. 😐

                    So do I. The Jazz are better coached and run their offence. OKC is too inconsistent.

                      Donovan seems like a good coach but has too many superstars and doesn't know how to use them, or motivate them.

                      OKC have a very weak 2nd unit and it shows. Grant & Felton offer great service but Albrines is getting mucho minutes and offering SFA. Patterson to be fair gets good numbers for the minutes he gets. But Huestis and Ferguson are just taking up bench space at this point with Collison.

                      When Russ starts getting that shot in rhythm, in his stride and doesn't rush he is damn near impossible to guard. If he can string another game together in Utah and get the W, they'll win at home.

                      PG needs other Playoff-P game and continue to get those stops. I wonder if he's got one foot out the door. I'd love for him to stay.

                      I think Adams got away with quite a few moving screen but he played his role player part the best he could yesterday. He was the "wall". In Utah it'll be hard for jim to produce this type of off the ball effort without getting called for it.

                      Melo needs to drag his old ass up and court and start living off that 18 footer. Its his best shot and he seems to be able to hit it no matter whos on him. The odd clutch 3 is all good but he needs to take the mid range more often.

                          VICTOR OLADIPO!

                          Man game 7 is going to be exciting. Hope all these three games go to 7. Lebron will be on the physio table getting treatment all over from carrying his team.

                            Indiana is my smokey to be the Eastern Conference champ. I'll think they'll win game 7 in Cleveland.

                              OKC need to stay close in this 3rd quarter, and PG or Melo has to heat up NOW. Otherwise it's holiday time.

                                  At least he is defending. Unlike Melo....

                                  This game is over though as no one apart from Russ and occasionally Adams can score for OKC.

                                      Based on this series I'm not sure I want my Lakers to sign PG13 if he is available. Nothing in his career so far suggests he can come up big when the spotlight is at its brightest

                                        Gobert has taken away easy layups and Westbrook has responded by jacking up ill advised 3s. Madness.

                                          OKC had some good open looks from those offensive rebounds in that sequence.
