the media said "stop playing hero ball" and "get others involved". Criticized Kd and Russ for taking "too many" shots, etc...

Well guess what? Waiting until the the last minutes of the fourth before finally getting agressive and trying to get into a scoring groove didn't work.

The game was over by then.

Just ONCE I want KD to go off for 40-50. He gets 30 but barley shoots. He Puts no pressure on the defense doesn't take over the game like he should.

At anymoment in the first half or early third the thunder could've went for the kill and blown out the warriors, but they played it safe and did that "team ball" nonsense.

Russ wasn't his agressive self. Too much media in his head. He didn't attack steady, but deferred to KD most the game. He never got going. Yea Adams got going early. He got touches but also missed A LOT open shots cause he's a ROLE PLAYER.

KD and Russ should be the go to guys. Just let them play. Let them dominate. I never imagined OKC try to play like they did tonight given the circumstances. Like there were no true star on the team.

Too much criticism.

Stupid media.

Meanwhile, klay and curry showed up big consistently when it mattered most. They Stepped up and went for the kill like real superstars do.

Nobody EVER tells klay and Steph to pass to their teammates more :stopitslime:

Wait didn't they shoot like 60 shots in game 6 and STILL lost.

Bruh just let it go they are losers on the court who are meant to lose.

They barley lost and klay went nuts.

But tonight they had the game in their hands and just were thinking too much in how to win and caught in the moment instead of just playing.

When warriors delivered the knock out blow, THEN KD says " I'm gonna start scoring".

Russ was already defeated at that point

Webber was on point when he said they shouldve used the pick n roll more often.

If theres anything the Thunder should've realized during this series is that theyre very hard to stop when they run the pick n roll. Westbrooks passing is much improved, hes got many options with the bigs in the paint, shooters on the perimeter, and an open lane for himself

Yea they should've just attacked more in general pick and roll, slashing cutting.

They just drove in, dumped it inside, or kicked out for a corner three or just moved the ball around in a circle if no sHot was open. Repeat.

I'd rather just have somebody create or something less slow and routine.
