He averages 30 points. If you think 9 boards, 4 assists in addition to his average scoring night is great so be it. He played solid.

Westbrook Dominated the shite out of the 3rd, he kept them in the game, he was clearly the difference maker.


If Westbrook played better in the 1st, he wouldn't have needed to keep them in the game in the 3rd.

he could play better and he will need to play better for them to have a chance.

id rate his game a 7.5/10.


What would you rate durant? I dont think Lebron gets enough credit for what is asked of him, he literally cannot stop scoring/playing defense for them to win. Durant did nothing in the 3rd, Westbrook bailed them out and without that, the 17 from Durant in the 4th would have meant nothing.

The Heat's offense is too stagnant. They need more ball movement with players cutting. The Heat's defense has been shitty all playoffs. Westbrook destroyed their D in the second half and Durant just kept hitting open jumpers.

He averages a great game moron. If his averages are great, and he hits his averages, then it was a great game.

They won game 5 in S.A. I don't see why they couldn't take 3 and 4 in Miami.

Remember when everybody thought the Spurs were going to sweep the Thunder?

We never learn here on the MSB

Durant was the only one on the Thunder to show up in the first quarter otherwise they would have been down 20 the way Miami was shooting.

westbrook got them back in the game in the 3rd quarter almost by himself and had 27/11


Durant kept them in the game early and closed the game out.

Really? The ifs ands and buys game!


If a few questionable calls don't go OKCs way in the last 2 minutes of the first half the Heat go into halftime with a 13-15 pt lead.....

See how retarded this game is....

durant was tearing up shane battier once lebron had to guard westbrook in the 4th.

durant was very passive for almost 3 qtrs, his 4th qtr was a 10/10 but he played very avg besides that hot stretch.

but i do agree, durant has an easier job than lebron but we knew that before the series started.

the biggest change in this game was brooks abandoning his usual subs and going small at the end

i'm curious if perkins starts next game

Perkins gives them nothing in this series.

Not as bad as people have made him out to be recently, but he needs to stay on the bench.

Brooks just blamed a RW turnover on KD not getting open

Great move too. Miamis big men are so bad that Collison is plenty to handle the matchups.
