payne sucks dude. he was awful anytime he was on the court. and he can't shoot. OKC needs shooters. that's why Ibaka is playing behind the 3 point line. They need a Shane battier/Iggy type of player. someone smart that can hit the 3 and can be relied on shutting down the other teams best player.

Their coach gave them the winning formula...but the superstars had mental lapses!

Billy gotta call the plays & timming Last 5mins, can't let them free flow....call it out like football every possession. Billy might have to iron fist rule.

well it's hard to play consistent for 48 minutes. Especially against the team like Warriors, where they actually prefer and thrive on taking those long 3's and somehow making them,

no matter how hard you play, you get to the point where it's like "fukk this shyt". That's basically what happened to okc. they build up a lead, but one stupid mistake and the lead is down to a one/two possession game.

okc had the right idea, but once warriors countered, okc couldn't do much else. I'm still stumped as to why billy d didn't use traps. they kept switching and let curry cook 1 on 1. he's too good for that. also, no double teams either. OKC could have made some adjustments, but i think they got too happy with the switch, and they got burned.

KD needs to leave, he and Westbrook cannot win together, they both need the ball so much and Russ being the type of player he is he'd be better off with a catch and shoot guy next to him that he doesn't need to really think too much about.

Boston + KD


THE THING IS KD
WAS A CATCH AND SHOOT PLAYER...

EVERYONE FORGETS WE USED TO CALL KD
REGGIE MILLER 2.0.

nikka LEAD THE L IN SCORING
WHILE BEING ASSISTED ON LIKE 60% OF HIS BUCKETS.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WORKED ON HIS HANDLE
AND BECAME A ISO PLAYER.

shyt IS RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

DUKE SHOULD BE COMING OFF SCREENS
GETTING OPEN SHOTS LIKE STEPH
AND KLAY
WHILE GOING ISO WHEN NEEDED.

How anyone can defend Westbrook is beyond me. Dude took some of the dumbest momentum killing shots, gambled on defense against two lights out shooters, and turned the ball over in crunch time in multiple games. His Tasmanian Devil style of play is always gonna take L's in the playoffs.
And then got the nerve to laugh at curry playing defense...........
If you going to laugh you got to show and prove and he just stunk up the joint royally with all his defensive lapses

There's no such thing as hero ball. Klay had a bad first half then he got his team back in game 6. If you're a star you need to take shots. KD should have taken 30 shots tonight


I feel what your saying but "Hero" ball is FORCING shots, which KD did in GM 6. He didn't force shots this game and I felt he could've been more aggressive EARLY in the 4th.

but like I said, he's not getting the same calls. Harden goes into warp mode in the postseason where every play is him trying to get a call. Russel tried to get bail out calls from 3 all series and got no-sold. What did you think was gonna happen to Harden doing the same shyt?

Harden's better at it.:manny:
Not to mention he'd be guarded by the other team's 3rd best defender.

I've called it several times that their relationship has run its course.

That's on the coach, their offensive sets are so :scust: and simple, there's almost no off ball action and when the first read doesn't work it just turns into a simple PnR.

He also needs to gain some weight and get to work in the mid post, his shots in late game situations are always difficult because he's starting from outside the 3 point line.

I think Brad Stevens and the guards that the Celtics have would work a lot better with him than Westbrook because I think they'd be more willing to defer and set him up.
