Mike Brown uses MWP completely wrong on offense he is not a 3 point shooter. He needs to be closer to the paint so someone actually puts a body on him.

BTW Westbrook should be punished for elbow to MWP knee. Knee injuries have destroyed the playoffs and his elbow wasn't an accident. When the NBA reviews the double T and sees the whistle blown and Westbrook talking trash, looked like he said take that.

MWP's actually a decent 3 shooter at .342 career. I think it's fine with him on the perimeter, because it spaces the floor for your two big guys to do work in the paint. I can't see him doing anything worthwhile in the paint when you have the two big guys to defer to on offense.

Durant or Harden don't even guard him there ok with him shooting the three so its 4 on 5 everytime. With him closer to the paint they can't double team so easy. I think with MWP playing in the paint he would get an easy 10 point and wear down 2 of there best 3 players.

I actually agree with that

MWP backing down Durant or Harden all game would be hell on earth for OKC.

Yeah, say what you want about the guy, but MWP is a beast on defense and a solid offensive player in the paint as well. The lakers have a glimmer of hope but definitely need to take the next home game to give them any chance at getting by the thunder still; chances are looking better now, though.

I wish mike brown would see it, its like he didn't learn anything from Kobe injury. And playing someone like Blake for 30+ who has zero defense is going to help. Phil would take this team to finals would have been so easy and maybe get a couple more rings.

With him in the paint, and Sessions almost always driving anyway, it would just be a clusterfuck in there. If Sessions could develop his jumper, I'd be down with it, otherwise it would just be too congested.

This is the first game in the series that Sessions really tryed to drive to the basket, yet again mike brown didn't use him in the 4th.

42 FTs? Are you serious? I mean props to Lakers for making 41 of them, but that's some number. Were they at least good/decent calls? I'd hate to think Stern is trying to help out Lakers yet again.

4 of 5 on Harden were rididulous phantom calls. Can't believe Harden didnt go nuts. Other than that it was pretty normal I think. Dat Crawford guy doesnt like the beard.

I thought officiating was fine, it's just some of OKC's fouls were "oh, it's playoff basketball, you don't call those fouls in the playoffs" fouls. Thought Harden did get the short end of the foul stick though.

Hmm, so it wasn't like game 6 of Lakers vs Kings then. I guess we can attribute the Harden calls down to bad luck.

yea some bad fouls on harden 3 of 5 where fouls on kobe where he got freethrows. 2 of kobe fouls gave harden free throws so it wasn't that bad. There where alot of touch fouls called after the double T i don't think the refs knew this was the playoffs.

edit:4 of his 5 fouls sent kobe to the line
