Westbrook is so out of control sometimes.

[sbh15]

the only time Perkins should see the court is when both Bosh and Haslem are on the court. otherwise it should be some combo of 3 guards with Durant at the 4 and Ibaka/Collison at the 5. otherwise Perkins is just taking up space

Thabo needs to learn what a lay up is.

You would have thought he learned after last game when he had two wide open drives where he tried to dunk, but realized he couldn't and got bailed out on foul calls. He's like Woody Harrelson in White Men Can't Jump.

low basketball iq by ibaka there. shouldn't have went for the ball at all. Got lucky there.

[soybean]

The Thunder are getting screwed in addition to Durant not getting any calls.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

FCK Battier

[Notredameleo]

Will someone please play defense on Battier. Gaaaahhhhh

[soybean]

They better gift the Thunder on the next possession cause that was such blatant blown call on the goal tend.

[Notredameleo]

I've never seen that before, but common sense should overrule in that situation. Durant obviously blocked the shot first.

[wogitalia]

Man Ibaka is beasting and they still can't get close right now!

Love him!

[draftguru151]

That's what I'm ******* talking about!!!

[Notredameleo]

Really lucky that its only a 12 point game.

[LonghornsLegend]

That was kind of stupid of Wilbon to say. Not like it'll have any bearing on the game, but a little confident eh? If OKC cuts it to 6 going into the 4th and the crowd gets back into it this will be a great finish.


Miami always seems to tense up when the other team makes their run, go to 1 on 1 isolation ball and get cold from the outside.

[MetSox17]

OKC's defense is playing great (outside of giving up so many offensive boards, but that'll happen when you have as many blocks as they do), but dear god their offense looks terrible. Outside of Harden, they look like they have dead legs, everything is falling short. Durant and Russ need to flip the ******* switch at half time, they need to be aggressive offensively.

It wasn't that obvious in real time. Durant barely got a piece of it.

[MetSox17]

I thought it was obvious from the ABC camera angle, they should have seen it too. Bosh's shot was clearly altered. That botched call was a five point swing.

[draftguru151]

Battier you sexy beast.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Perkins is utterly useless beyond post defense.

That has always been known. He started off the night rebounding like a monster, maybe he's winded already.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

He literally is the slowest least skilled player in the league. He really shouldnt' be getting minutes this series.

[soybean]

Westbrook needs to take it to the ******* hole.

[P-L]

Shane Battier is 8/11 from three this series. Maybe someone should guard him. At least six of those have been WIDE OPEN looks.

not to mention that Harden has yet to see the court this quarter, after accounting for 17 of their 42(?) points in the first half. Scotty Brooks is not coaching a good game out there

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Dear Russell Westbrook,

please never take a jump shot.
