With the 2 point lead they could've defended the 3 point line, and force them to take a shot inside the 3 point line.
in 3 seconds ?
You think Lebron is taking a 3 pointer down 2, and if he misses his season could be over? Lebron had no pressure on him due to the game being tied; if he misses the game would just to into overtime.
McMillian with a 2 point lead would tell his guys in the huddle, "defend the 3 point line or no 3s"
3 seconds is a lot of time to get a shot off from where it was inbounded.

dude has been trash. the fact that melo is shooting better than him shows how bad westbrook has been. smh
But I called this before the season. I didn't want Melo playing with Russel. You can't succeed with this guy. Your point guard has to have high basketball IQ. It's mandatory. He's **** (Please Use More Appropriate Word)
this is just super disappointing from him. i thought he was ready to turn it up in the post season and he looks completely shook. how do you let rubio of all players bitch you on the court? smfh.

Re: 2017-18 NBA Playoffs - Week 2
Looking at the replay, ball definitely hit the glass before Lebron got to it...however, it almost looks like it's still on Oladipo's fingertips when Lebron gets to it. Ehh, they blew the call before with the out of bounds call, so whatever. Refs gone Ref.

Been telling you guys. He a top 5 player, but I wouldn't want him on my team. His talent can't be denied. But his mindset and IQ is so **** up, that you can't rely on him.
A Lebron 35/10/10 is different than a Russel 35/10/10. This why I always point out that basketball is more than stats.

westbrook has been bad but so has melo. it's not even just falling off from age. he's missing a lot of wide open jumpers. a 40 year old can hit those. he lost his confidence somehow.

Wiggins and Towns should be better than they appear with the wolves.

You gotta put Westbrook on the floor with role players so he can be comfortable cause he can't play with stars. It's embarrassing

If they played the defense the Bulls played, they'd goto the NBA finals.
