    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.

                    Adams has been great. The thunder have had enough chances to score in the last 2 minutes. Russ is cold, Felton should hit the 3

                      No call by the refs after PG looked to have sucked a foul from Gobert

                        That non-call on PG's shot was as bad as LBJ's goal tending. The refs bottled that.

                          The positives were that Adams came up big in this game and Grant played really good D in the 4th. Roberson would have been assigned to Mitchell and wouldn't have let him score so many.

                          The Jazz lost all 4 games vs the Rockets in the regular season. I think their 2nd Rd series will be closer than that.

                            The loss of Roberson was significant, he would have guarded Mitchell

                              Who wins ROTY? Mitchell or Simmons?

                              The 76ers nearly doubled their win total this season.

                                Tough call. I think the Jazz are just happy they've bounced back from losing Hayward

                                  I think there is a good chance of there being 2 ROY. both are deserving imo.

                                    @canefan I think Mitchell will end up being an all time player. He has no ceiling just need to stay healthy. In my opinion he is the closest thing I have seen to MJ in sometime. A friend reckons hes Wade 2.0 as well.

                                      There is a lot of D Wade in Mitchell’s game. Got the swag too.

                                      Aussie Joe had a great game and showed his class during crunch time.

                                      Gotta say that OKC got way too 3 happy in the close out of that game. Lost their composure a bit IMO. There was plenty of time to go to the basket and then play the foul game.

                                      Big no-call on PG, but the fact they didn’t foul until 6 seconds left was also very costly.

                                        so did Westbrook take 43 shots because Carmelo and Playoff P gave him no help or did Carmelo and Paul P never get into any rhythm because Westbrook launched so many shots?

                                        Definately the former.

                                          Melo is a shadow of his former self who can't guard anyone. In a league that covets two way players he is a luxury the Thunder can't afford to have on the floor, hence him sitting the fourth quarter. With the $28M for next season I don't see another team picking up the cheque but you never know, he doesn't strike me as a guy who leaves money on the table. I am unconvinced that PG can be a consistent big time guy, even though he was very good in Indiana. Adams had a pretty good series, gave them enough second chance attempts to win game 6, and when he got into foul trouble his absence was felt. I just don't think the Thunder have enough knock down shooters at the moment, and the way the offense is constructed at the moment relies too much on Russ with the ball. Part of that probably is him too but the other guys need to step up and demand more ball by scoring and showing they deserve it
