We can stop Durant... if we don't blow leads and miss shots.

This team man.... it's obvious who the best player on the other team is... but we allow them to go off.

Our defense needs to have better assignments or something.

lol I think this is a good note to bid good night on. until game 2, let's say sane everyone

Hard to go to sleep when you are a combination of worried/anxious, and pissed as **** at the monstrosity that was our offensive&defensive breakdowns

Me and a few others are making adjustments as well. We dropped the ball in game 1. If we keep up our end. Spo wont have to worry about adjustments.

You have never seen it cause you are too young to have seen Jordan play. MJ played tenacious defense for every possession. He even would guard the opposing team's best players.

You act like LBJ is being asked to do something never done before. Stop repeating that garbage, I heard it before and it's a myth. Many players have done it before and didn't complain.

Where did the poster state his/her age? - There has never been a player in modern day basketball asked to do as much as this one player(lebron) is asked to do under the same amount of pressure and scrutiny - it's not just the minutes as others have said and I AM old enough to remember the MJ years.

Anytime you rely on one player to do so much, you're not really coaching. You're just playing or overplaying your best player in a structured system.

Remember what happened when we wasted Mike Bibby's 15 pt effort last year in Game 2...

I remember when Joel Anthony scored like 10points in Game 3 against Celtics and we lost during the Semi-Finals.

just come out better in the 2nd half, make shots, play MIAMI HEAT DEFENSE, and win.

Anyone got a Chris the GOAT Quinn Jersey for good luck? It may be key for us to win it all.

All I want is for this coach to win us 1 GAME - tonight could have been THAT GAME

I swear if Mike Miller plays next game I'll flip out.

Playing more players? Fine with me.

Just don't play Miller. He's done, washed up, finished.

Now I understand why he's putting his house up for sale. Time to head to the retirement homes of Scottsdale, Arizona (Supposedly has the oldest population in the U.S.)

Now this is a true commitment to excellence. If somehow anyone can come up with a Bimbo Coles jersey I'll buy that guy a beer. Locks up a win. 8-)

Lend him to the Suns so their trainers can fix him.

In the first half i would have to reluctantly admit that Spo was outcoaching Brooks, then Brooks decided to make adjustments in the 3rd and bang. It got worse though because even after everyone has seen the same old KD song and dance in the 4th for years where they just give it to him and say shoot he still couldn't do the simple task of Bron on Durant to try and cool him off to allow us to get back into it.

OtW · Post #315 » by **OtW** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 5:18 am

Look at the coverage OKC is getting in their locker room after one win.

Can't stand to see all the Durant creaming that will be done if they win. For our sake, we better adjust, get our heads right, and win this **** convincingly. These kids should not win a ring before us. This is OUR year.

Against a young team like the Thunder...I wouldnt have had a problem if Norris Cole played some out there. And Cole scares me! But at least he would be another athletic young guy.

Sidenot: I know its a play that didnt matter. But up 4 in the 4th...Rio ruins a fastbreak basket to Wade by overthrowing him and throwing it out of bounds. Smh. Rio has got to do a better job passing the ball in transition.

Damnit. We all have to get our **** together.

I went to try and link the video from my iPhone but it's not on YT mobile so I had no choice -__-

I was gonna wait until after the Finals to get rid of my playoff haircut/beard but I think it's time lol

So I was looking at the stats.

At half time we were leading in rebounding

by the end of the game we got crushed like hell.

I mean I knew we were losing some lose balls and Collison was getting offensive rebs, but UD being out for awhile hurt us.

But he kept making stupid fouls... it was annoying.

Had 5 guys in double figures. This was lost on the defensive end. Then Westbrook smashed his match up with Wade :\

Give the kid credit. He balled out tonight, especially in the 4th. I think that ticky tack foul on Haslem at the end of the 3rd gave him some momentum. He made 2 FTs ( he didnt score the majority of the 3rd), got some confidence and came out firing.

Again...If Spo switched LeBron on him.....Durant would have got his.....But not as easy...and it wouldnt have been that many points imo. Maybe just 11 from Durant. Oh well. Just couldnt stop the bleeding all night.

This.

Dude was on Harden for one possession and I was holding my breath. Luckily he missed a make-able shot.

Then, Russell just went to town on him. Dude has no legs. That is clear from him not being able to keep who he is defending in front of him, and from how short his jumpers were. They were clanking off the front of the rim.

The dude can't even foul hard to prevent someone from getting from the basket. See-- that Russel and-1. He came over just in time, but did not have it in him to do anything more than give him a tap that allowed him to make the shot.

Put him on ice. He's done.
