It boggles the mind trying to figure out how Roberson is in the NBA let alone a starter on a playoff team. He's so bad offensively and honestly his defense and intangibles aren't good enough to make up for it. Someone explain this to me.

Hard to feel sorry for you when you have the flop king on your team and he's shot over 50 free throws.

I don't agree, Adams would look better on any other team but with the way Westbrook dominates the ball and grabs every rebound it minimizes Adams impact. He hits a lot of tough midrange shots in the lane.
The hottest of takes...

He's actually doing fine. And he's the type of role player the NBA is trending towards....three point shooting. The kid scored around 24 per game in college. He's also a really good post scorer. It's just now coming together for him in the NBA. And props to OKC for using him better than the Bulls have.
Problem is, he needs to be in a ball movement system.

Roberson: 0/8 from the FT line in the series.

More like the whole season...

Well actually he is lighting it up from 3 this series and obviously his defense is quite good.

Don't get why previous calls should affect fouls happening in a completely different game lol

McDermott is a horrendous defender. He's also been a poor 3P shooter since being traded to OKC. He's really, really not doing fine. Not since being traded to the Thunder, anyway.

Don't worry he will basically air ball his free throws

Not sure what you're expecting. His 14/7/2/3/2 on 60%/50% doesn't impress you? He's been the Thunder's 2nd best player all series.

Westbrook's supporting cast doing what they do more often than not when he's on the bench: playing some spectacularly terrible basketball.

Eric Gordon hitting nothing but backboard on 3 straight layups is cool

I wonder how it feels to build up a lead, sit, and come back to see that lead gone everytime.

Which says a lot about OKC's supporting cast as a whole. Even by playing far above his head offensively, Roberson is still "only" averaging 14 PPG and those numbers are good enough to be OKC's second best player.

He's been the second best player on either team imo

Both teams are. They're letting them play.
