Not to mention it was a dumb post considering many people to in fact find this series entertaining if not more so than ECF, and one game ending in double digits doesn't take away anything from that. If tomorrow's ECF ends in double digit loss for Celtics, are you gonna apologize? ill apologize if the ecf turns into a race to 100, and miami wins in 4 games. because to me, that is not exciting basketball. however the wcf IS a race to 100, and okc is looking like they will get 4-0'd. plus, as long as ed malloy isn't reffing the game, it'll be hard for the c's to get blown out, they play the leagues best defense. | ||

Doesn't hedge, doesn't help on rotations, just sits in the middle and tries to scare him out of the paint. Parker either pulls from 15 feet if Perkins is sagging off too much or he just weaves around Perkins if he overplays. OKC should think about going small and running more, although that's hard to do against such a disciplined offense. | ||

yes i know durant outplayed him in this game. Not true for the playoffs. Durant can afford to miss a few more but westbrook cant, he needs to convert most of his drives. 10-24 just isnt good enough to win this series | ||

Yeh It's a good article and pretty much sums up what I think as well. The Spurs have become my favourite team to watch over the years, I found them great to watch even 5-6 years ago, not just this season. I guess people prefer watching superstars jack up bricks 1 on 5 than a team execute beautiful, team orientated basketball. Partcularly in America. | ||

I like it when LeBron jumps and puts the ball in the hoopz. | ||

(Kobe maybe is an exception atm though? ^^ I mean I think years ago he did share the ball more than he does now...maybe?)The Spurs have my utmost respect and the play some beautiful basketball, no question about it. But as a Heat fan I like to watch the Heat play the most, and no, not just because of LeBron's derping the ball into the circle with the net hanging from it. | ||

Everyone keeps saying pg need to pass the ball, it's their role! The thing is, when your main "passer" can threaten the enemy defense with the ability to drive in and score himself, it makes defending that much harder. Look at Rose. What team wouldn't want a pg like Rose on their team? | ||

The difference is, Kobe at least knows how to handle the ball and make his shots, while Melo gets a lot of his points from his mid-range jumpers. Melo has actually a low FG %, and was overrated and still is. The only "superstar" thing in him, is his fans elevate his name to that level. | ||

Time to see how OKC responds on their home court. If they drop a game at home they're done for sure. | ||
