How the hell did Westbrook miss Adams wide open at the bucket on that pick and roll? Warriors feast on that stuff with McGee. Inexcusable.

It's Norris Cole/No-Westbrook time.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

I'm sure Harden will get his points, but Roberson is an outstanding defender. When he is hitting threes to boot, he's a hell of a player.

The comparisons of Westbrook to Oscar Robertson are apt. No mystery that Robertson didn't win a championship until age 32 when he was deferring to Kareem. Averaging triple doubles has nothing to do with winning championships.

Looks to me like OKC is really ramping up their defensive pressure. Even McDermott getting after it.

Adams has been utterly useless this entire series. Can't believe OKC basically spent 200 million their two centers.

Nah. Even if he's not a consistent rotation guy, his size and shooting keep him in the league

How does Adams stay down against Harden and force a missed layup but can't avoid leaving his feet against Ariza? Makes no sense.

Roberson took 3 steps and took less contact than Harden has on several no calls, but gets the whistle

I don't know why teams don't use "Hack-a-Roberson" strategy more often, the guy is a horrendous FT shooter.

OKC up 11 when Westbrook goes out. Only up 4 after 3 minutes. I feel like this is too constant of a theme this series.
