They've had to change the way they play this year compared to defensive centric runs the last few years. Well, their offense is pretty slick, probably the best in the league from a team perspective, its only by comparison that their defense is weak. They are still a top 10 defensive team. | ||

Every screen or Pick that San Antonio sets, he doesn't hedge enough to push the screener off to help his wings out. So Westbrook is stuck running around a big body with no support and TP is getting free. His 1 on 1 defense also leaves a lot to be desired, but he isn't Blake Griffin level.

Yea SA's defense is of course not complete shit, but it's good enough for them to stay alive even if their offense completely dies. Funniest thing about OKC fouling splitter: They were down by double digits, but didn't trade baskets correctly. Even if Splitter was getting only 1 pt per FT trip they were probably better off launching quick 3s or drawing fouls repeatedly. Of course, neither happened enough and they ended up using too much clock overall. | ||

Just so you know Miami gave Boston more fouls than Boston gave Miami. Miami - 21 fouls given Boston - 19 fouls given http://www.nba.com/games/20120528/BOSMIA/gameinfo.html#nbaGIboxscore Pretty sure Miami is playing more legitly. Look up your stats before you run your fingers on the keys lol. | ||

Spurs-->Spurts :D 92 points heading into the 4th is really pretty scary though. Spurs really making a statement with these (presumed) wins, especially today's clinic. Would be pretty epic to see some massive godly run by the Thunder but it really doesn't look like it's going to come today, if at all. | ||

There goes their momentum, I'm kind of rooting for OKC because I want to see an OT game and/or the Spurs streak broken >:D | ||
