This was Waiters first "great" game of the playoffs, but I thought he was actually pretty good last game, too, relatively speaking. At first glance his numbers were so-so, but given the context of the game, I thought he was one of two bright spots for the Thunder along with Adams.
On another note, this series in just three games, really exemplifies the 2015-2016 Thunder. We've played the same team our last three games (obviously). In two of those games we've won by 40 and 30 points; somehow, we've also lost one of those games. Yes, it was by one measly point with our two superstars playing as poorly as they could've possibly played; but all things considered, it really does show how inconsistently frustrating this team has been all season. Under no circumstances should this injury riddled, old Dallas team even be able to stay on the same court with us. Yet, as we've seen all season long, when the "bad" Thunder show up, it can be VERY bad; but when the "good" Thunder show up, it can be borderline special.
