Supposed to, problem this series though is Dirk on the other end. Nobody can guard Dirk, but with a small ball line up, it clears the lane for Russ + Harden + KD, for penetration/kick outs.

But great game for Marion. Dude turned back the clock tonight

Exactly, Dirk just gets hounded. They hounded him game 1, they called it. Tonight, they didn't at ALL.

It was sickening.

I forget the ole wise tale about the interwebs when posting sometimes.
Sarcasm is not translated well

QFT. They were letting a lot of contact slide.

Instead of trading Westbrook, they need to can Brooks. Get a real X's and O's coach in there with experience. I wonder what Rick Adelman would do?

Or Carlisle.

They have nothing set.

They are best on the run, but half-court? Absolutely terrible.

Serge + Perk was suppose to be a dominant frontline.

     I honestly believe the Thunder are currently too young to win, their late game execution game after game is awful they just don't know how to close out yet.

This.

They are winning solely off pure talent from their big guns. They have a lot of learning to do. Once they get actual offensive sets instead of playing rec league ball, they will be unstoppable.

It is against the Grizzlies.

You really think Collison is fouling Dirk? Like I said, Dirk's offensive moves are kind of predictable and it's obvious Nick has been watching tape. Dirk loves to just stand there with the ball in front of him and rocker/jab step for a second then rips through and goes, plus if you bring help he'll spin back.

Also seems like white dudes just defend other white dudes better, saw the same thing with Kevin Love struggling against dudes like Lou Admonson.

As always, you see how Westbrook is an all star and see how people can want him traded, though that's a reach.

[MVP]

Good win by Dallas. Thunder going through some growing pains, they have the talent to win, just lack the execution and no how to do it at this point it seems.

It would help if they actually had some plays to run besides KD coming off a down screen and if it's not their Rus forcing his way to the basket. Brooks has to do better on that end.

Bhz, TROOF

Brooks has a vanilla O, that doesn't really get KD the ball.

Horrible 4th Quarter Defense...other than that I liked the game plan tonight...but I will say I doubt Durant will miss as much as he did today the rest of the way...but I'd be happy if he did..

This game overall was boring. OKC came out too tense, never got in to a flow and never bounced back. Even after Russ basically by himself got them back in to it in the 4th the team didn't have that look like they could finish the comeback

Not even close, both attemps

Those three straight possessions really hurt their comeback chances.
