2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[EddieDoyers]

KD got bodied by a ****** and Westbrook pulling up for a bad shot at the end smh
OKC deserved to lose today

 

[dman14]

rio wouldve hit that

 

[osh kosh bosh]

OKC was much better off going with Westbrook-Ibaka pick and rolls. If Westbrook turns the corner, there's no rim protection or the entire defense collapses.

or wast brook durant, they did that last game and CP3 can't contest the lob pass when they run it from the side.

 

[unclerukus]

KD went Ghost. For everyone saying Westbrook was wrong for taking the shot is wrong themselves. He demanded the ball. Why didn't KD demand the ball? GHOST.

KD did demand the ball they just didn't see him. Dude saw WestBrook and passed it to him.

Yup.

 

[Figured it out]

who cares? this would be a sweep if okc had lebron 

I was addressing people saying give the MVP to Bron.

Bron doesn't and never will play for OKC get yo fortune tellin *** out of here

 

[do work son]

The Russ shot was fine, but they should have fouled in the first place.

Scott Brooks I don't know what to say, put Westbrook and Durant in a side pick and roll, and throw the lob to Durant, CP3 won't be able to contest.

but stadning around watching Durant post up at the elbow?

Really?

3 second differential, the thunder don't foul and they didn't have any timeouts

the thunder ran durant to set screens for westbrook, then durant just ran away from the ball. scott brooks couldn't gameplan around kd being guarded by a smaller defender. the level of incompetence

 

[doitallpaul]

Kd been in his prime, what are you talking about, age doesnt dictate prime

Kd still needs to be a better defensive player and leader. His quiet personality doesn't allow for his teammates to see him as a leader.

 

[awwsome]

rio wouldve hit that

That's why he's top 10.

 

[nykickstape]

Tough loss for the Thunder. It was a good game though.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Why should Russy just let it slide that it's Durants team. It's both their team. Russy kept them alive starting the game strong and only one scoring at the end.

I love me some KD, but he clearly got clamped by CP3 and couldn't find the correct pass.

kd is still a mental ****** though 

 

[don ramon]

Oh so y'all not ******* with KD no more huh

somebody needs to pay!!!123

 

[aepps20]

Westbrook gets a disproportionate amount of blame and KD gets a disproportionate amount of the credit. It is a shame when you allow CP3 who is far from being a stout defender take you out of the game yet for the next few days all we will hear is how it's Westbrook's fault or Scott Brooks.

 

[pmatic]

And on defense:

@anthonyVslater Wow stat by @BerryTramel: During a stretch in the fourth quarter, the Clippers scored on 18 of 19 possessions

 

[offwhitewhite]

Westbrook earned the right to take that 3. He drove in two straight times to keep OKC in the lead. 

 

[unclerukus]

If the coach has to tell KD to take CP3 to school there's a problem. How can you blame the coach? You think MJ or Kobe has to be told that? Stop making excuses for the MVP.

Uh the Lakers and Bulls would have run plays to exploit the mismatch. KD is never going to be able to put the ball on the floor with someone like Chris Paul getting underneath him. Scott Brooks is a **** coach.

 

[goldmember]

Great win by the Clips.. They literaly pick the right time to make a run where OKC is out of time to make a comeback

The Caron Butler effect

 

[awwsome]

Overreactions and hyperbole abound in this thread right now.

 

[doitallpaul]

Durant needs control of the team he had when Russ was out. It took the Heat a year to realize that LeBron was the man and Wade was accepting.

Thunder haven't recognized that.

mj or kobe would run train on chris paul

kd is just soft

 

[dacomeup]

That was a Scott Brooks special.

 

[sooperhooper]

Wanna know why okc lost? My avy sums it up

Westbrook gonna westbrook and durant gonna durant.

Chris Paul not a stout defender?
