OKC falling apart like that towards the end was inexplicable... Imma just chalk it up as them mentality being focused on GS on a back to back..

I still feel as tho its going to be either OKC or LAC to win the west this year

Here's the issue with that - you need shooting when you run any type of offense. Roberson doesn't provide that. When teams are focusing on Durant and Westbrook, no amount of misdirection or motion set principles will cover up Roberson's inability to shoot/score late in-games. OKC has too many one-dimensional players that give up just as much as they provide to get a proper offensive/defensive balance down the stretch.

The Warriors' small-ball lineup wouldn't work if two/three of them couldn't either shoot or provide some sort of scoring, or if two/three couldn't play defense and switch effortlessly. Which is why Roberson is a problem because although he has defensive value, he's nearly completely worthless on the other end. No "motion offense" is going to change that.
Why doesn't Morrow get more burn? Not over Roberson but over singler and waiters.. Is he a complete liability on defense or what? You would think they'd value his shooting.

It looks like he's going to be phased out, unless there's an injury. Tonight's game was like his fourth DNP in a row. Foye's pretty much taken his minutes. I'm worried about Durant more than anything, it's like he can't create his shot off the dribble regularly anymore. Don't know if it's a mental thing or if players simply know his weaknesses. When he started controlling the ball down the stretch, that's when the game swung right around in the Clips' favor.

Been waiting on a win like this the entire season:wow:

Even though we played like utter sh*t for 3 1/2 quarters.. it didn't feel like we were out of it. OKC came out hungry and aggressive tho. Surprised they collasped like they did at the end. Props to our bench tho. They sparked it. Yo I was at the game and the new mascot isn't that bad at all. I didn't get it cause LA isn't really a mascot city at all.

Cappin' the night off with a brew and watching the Fresno State game off the dvr:mjcry:
