game 3 finals thread

Westbrook playing like a "point" helps no one.

When did he do that?

[Thugger HBC]

Pathetic. The Heat had 50% more FTA than the Thunder. I never though the NBA finals would also be rigged.

Yet, this has nothing to do with why they're behind in the series.

Westbrook was pretty bad.

After he missed two shots, Brooks took him out, and once he came back in, he was "running the offense" for the rest of the game, whenever he actually got to touch the ball.

[NBA Fan 1234]

Westbrook should limit his shots to 15 feet and in.

Westbrook was pretty bad.

Durant was worse.

Fun Fact: Since the 2-3-2 format, the team that wins Game 3 has a 11-1 record in winning the finals.

The "1" just so happens to be Miami last season.

OKC fouled the Heat twice on three point shots. Without that it would be 24fts to 29 fts.

[GetItDone]

I still don't see what's so special about Durant.

He can shoot, ok, so did a prime Ray Allen. Durant is basically a glorified taller version of him. I just don't know why the whole media and fans jerk off to him. When his shot isn't falling, he's useless. No post game, lack of playmaking, average defender, etc. The fact people think he's better than LeBron or comparable as a taller Kobe is laughable.

Pretty much.

Thunder had every opportunity to win this game and the last game, too. They just love shooting themselves in foot by missing free throws, playing basic ball, not playing for 48 minutes, etc...

[Red Vines]

Durant HAS to stay on the floor this series, take him off Lebron.

The fact that he's a 6'11 Ray Allen makes him incredibly special. Add in his late game heroics, and it becomes better. ALso, while I agree he isn't a great playmaker, he's actually been a solid defender this year and has a nice post game going to the middle for a mini jumper/hook.

The few that think he's better than LeBron just simply are not smart.

[Phish Tank]

keys:

1. Harden needs to step up.

2. Durant needs to stop getting into trouble, with that:

2a: Ibaka/Collison need to play better so that Durant doesn't get into this foul trouble

3. Westbrook's gotta be more assertive

4. Fisher's bad shot selection and stupid fouls in the third changed the momentum by a ton

5. Brooks benching Westbrook in the third also was a momentum killer too

6. The refs are rigging this game

7. Durant and Harden need to hit their FTs

I wouldn't go that far. He is better than Ray Allen at any point in his career already. Nevertheless, people have started to overrate Durant like crazy. People compare him to Jordan and say he is better than Lebron wtf.... Lebron does so much more than just score.

I think Durant is an above average defender. If he can add a post game and gain muscle he will be monstrous though.

Durant was worse.

Durant wasn't great, but that stretch in 3rd when OKC had the lead, Westbrook made maybe 3/4 bad shot/decisions, and they lost the lead and momentum after that.

[GONYK]

OKC makes their FT's, nothing any one else is mentioning would have mattered if they took care of business at the line

[AllanHoustonFan]

So why aren't we killing Durant for his 0 assist the way we kill Melo for his 4 APG?

[Knicked_Up]

Miami was the one team that lost last year though lets hope that continues. lol

Game changed when Durant went out with 4 fouls (a bs call by the way).

[Knicks_Fan2]

Agree game lost on the line but that stretch in the third, when they were up 8, was ridiculous. Durant got his 4th foul, they fouled two three point shooters, and then Brooks inexplicably left a Durant and WBless lineup on the court with Harden playing his worst bball of the season.

I don't think any of those guys are in the thread.
