[quote name="a-friend"]I'm not endorsing it as so, because Luck plays too much of a part. I ain't that lucky. I don't see it.[/quote]Orrrr... the Spurs are superior.
"Luck."
Everyone knows OKC blew the most 4th quarter leads in the league. That ain't just unlucky. You said yourself the 'old guys vs. young guys' pickup game comparison was perfect. That ain't luck.

Kawhis offensive rebound from Aldridge missed and free throw was the dagger

Spurs weren't lucky. Aren't lucky.
OKC was in game 2.
And they need it to win.
If Thunder (forget winning it all) are going to win, this series, it's going to take luck, they can't win with their play alone.
That's what luck I'm referring to. I'm not endorsing that. But I'll take it if...

OKC in 2012 >>>> OKC in 2016. Basically the team with Harden and Sefolosha >>>> with Waiters and Roberson. Presti made that call to Harden to trade him after him ,Russ, and KD was planning to make another run for the title(in Hardens words). Since then people been waiting for KD to step up and be a leader..but my boy just dont got it in him..dont got that killer instinct all the greats had when leading their teams to titles. Just waiting to see where he and Russ end up in a couple of years. Would rather see the Spurs vs. GS in the west championship anyway..OKC is my team..just dont see them going toe to toe with GS at all tbh.

OKC in 2013 >>>> both of those
Even without Harden, they were primed for a run: #1 seed, potential home court over the Spurs (who weren't quite the 2014 Spurs), and a rabid fan base that was still totally engaged. Westbrook goes down, and it's over.
The 2014 team won 59 games, so they basically ran it back. But, the Spurs improved, and Ibaka missed those two games. They went down 0-2, and couldn't crawl out of the hole.

Thats true as well. The thing they lacked and still lack is a scorer off the bench that can also lead the team when Russ and/or KD wasnt on the floor. When Brooks had Harden, Russ, and KD on the floor at the same time..those dudes was ballin. That year (2012) in the playoffs..They did damn good..came back against the Spurs after being down in the series. Nower days they just don't have that 3rd option..a ball handler that can score or step up if KD or Russ is off. Regardless..They aren't championship material. Was hoping it would've been different this year..but i guess that window closed a minute ago.

Or maybe his running mate is an insane person who would do this to anyone and has the benefit of being the guy who has the ball when play starts.

Seriously, Westbrook is everything I want in the nba. A dude who plays super hard every night, a diva, and doesn't care at all what anybody else thinks.

He's my favorite player in a while that isn't on the warriors
But i got mad at him for blowing huge possessions last night towards the end. Cost them the game.

If Westbrook learned how to be a pg he'd be dangerous but he's not cut out for it. He's a natural SG. OKC needs to let him loose if they want to win..

Does yesterday not qualify as letting him loose. He shot multiple step back threes, he dominated the basketball the entirety of the game, especially in the last two minutes and essentially froze out KD.
