WCQF: P1 | (4) OKC Thunder vs Utah Jazz (5) | Utah wins 4-2

[Son_of_Slam]

lebron's heat against the spurs lost by 15, 19, 21 and 17. he never went for 45, refusing to lose. he went to the bench and watched the last 6 minutes. but hey, he was efficient.

don't make me bring up 2011 . . .

[MalonesElbows]

Russel Westbrook stole our mojo.

[Ballerhogger]

I think Utah will next game

[Catchall]

If Gobert doesn't go out with that foul trouble, neither PG or RW are getting to the rim like that. That's what turned the tied.

I had the Jazz in 6. Still sticking to that.

How do you think he got into foul trouble?

Two or three cheap fouls out on the floor.

[Dupp]

Man I checked at half time and thought the series was over. Very disappointing

[Son_of_Slam]

Are we talking about tonight's game or their respective careers and accomplishments?

That's going to be a losing battle for WB.

i never said russ was a better player and i am not saying that now. i am saying russ was better tonight. russ coming back 20 down by going HAM is not something i remember lebron doing. maybe i am wrong so show me if you'd like. because i know i can show you lebron quitting in multiple situations. maybe i am wrong, but didn't he even sit most of the 4th when the spurs ran the heat out of the gym to closeout?

Wait, didn't Russ just start crying like a little child last game and went around trying to start fights because he couldn't deal with losing?

If you want to bring up what they've accomplished in their careers, the discussion is a non-starter.

don't make me give deshawn stevenson's phone number to the pacers!

I want this series to go 7 but I just don't think OKC can win in Utah. If they do though, the Thunder are winning this series. Coming back from a 3-1 deficit is considerably easier when you have homecourt advantage.

Tell the ex Clippers that, who we closed out in 7 on their home court last year.

[Catchall]

Russel Westbrook stole our mojo.

He's borrowing it. It's like roller skates at a roller rink.

Seriously though, if WBrook and PG combine for 79 pts and 23 rebs, you just need to take your hat off to them. They were more aggressive in the 2nd half.

Time to close this game out in Utah. Role players play better at home.

The Jazz had won 3 games in a row and were up by 25. Gobert going out was a huge turn, but the Jazz became complacent in general. This is a good experience for them.

I thought that offensively the Jazz really bailed out the Thunder defense. There were some bad shots taken when Golbert was essentially alone under the basket. A team can't erase a 25 point lead in the single quarter unless the other team helps them out.

[Catchall]

Westbrook dressed like the artist formerly known as Prince.

The energy level and movement just dropped.

OKC key to win game 6: Glue Melo to the bench.

i'm new to this board. is everyone this sensitive about lebron? i gave lebron plaudits in the other thread and this one. the games were 2 hours apart. lebron had a major goat level game. i just feel westbrook had a bigger game against bigger odds. it is a credit to lebron to use him in the comparison, not an insult.

I think you might be the sensitive one. You said Westbrook had a better game, someone disagreed, you felt the need to defend your position. They responded accordingly. Dont lecture the board on a typical debate that you could see in a thousand other spaces.

thanks for sharing your thoughts. and also for lecturing me to not lecture. but i think by the team icons next to your name we both know where the sensitivity lies.

Youre welcome. For the record I couldnt care less about who had the better game, personally i think its a silly childish argument that accomplishes nothing. You think having a rooting interest in a team or player automatically presumes a lack of objectivity which I also happen to think is silly neophytic and childish, but thats my opinion.

Hoping the Jazz lose the next three games.

Its over.

Is it still over?

Rubio be like, "Ima shut that **** off."

[Catchall]

I just think this is the perfect experience for Mitchell. He needs to feel this playoff intensity, so he can go be the next.

[Mister Ze]

Mitchell 13 points on 6 shots

Westbrook 12 points on 19 shots

Pretty much summarizes the series

End of 4th
Mitchell 23 pts on 22 shots (10 pts with his next 16 shots)
Westbrook 45 pts on 38 shots (33 pts with his next 19 shots)

A game of two halves.

Well said

Well if the refs continue to call phantom PF's on Gobert I guess not, but that's the whole reason OKC turned the switch, don't kid yourself, they didn't outplay until then.

Yeah - he does look like prince w/ those glasses on... He does have a prince-like personality if you think about it - If he changes his name to a symbol, will the NBA put it on the box scores? Lol...
