Meh Westbrook is getting layups and freethrows and CP3 already has a playoff career high of 6 threes.You can't expect him to even come close to that kind of shooting again. Griffin is a monster though.

Here's what scary for OKC: Westbrook and Durant are lighting it up and they're getting blown out. The Clippers play beautifully on offense while OKC plays some ugly offense but KD's and Weatbrook's talent makes it work.

LAC just making it rain but hey won't do that every game and that's when Griffin has to go to work. Durant and Westbrook are getting to the basket at will which will eventually catch up to them.

I don't know man.. I don't think players like KD and Westbrook are very coachable... they like to freely jack up shot after another. They are talented enough to win many games that way, but I don't think they will thrive in a ball-sharing efficient coaching system like the Spurs'.

Griffin can do major damage inside when the Clippers will need it (and they eventually will).

lol. True. I don't know KD will be the most effective at it though.. his sheer talent "can" overpower efficient system right now.. that's OKC's problem I guess.

Will KD be happy with shooting 15 times a game instead of 25 for the betterment of the team? I don't know if he can even answer that right now. I think he will get sick of coming up short in OKC eventually though.

You have to give credit to Vogel about one thing though... our broadcast announcers used to always praise our mediocre with "they do things that don't show up in the stat sheet" nonsense, which basically means they've done nothing, and Vogel isn't a believer of that, he just benches your ass if he sees no points nor rebounds.
