No need for a pep talk at the half of a G7. Should have stayed out there and practiced jumpers.

We've played well other than making shots. How many layups and gimme jumpers have we missed this series?

I'd have to disagree with you there, Toney. Plus, many of the prima-donna guys over the years in the NBA have turned me and others off. They're ALL overpaid and they don't play for the name on the jersey or the love of the game many times. I'd prefer HS or middle school ball over the NBA most of the time.

Although, I will say this, guys like D. Rose are refreshing and have brought me back to watch.

Too, too many to win a G7 on the road.

We can't buy a shot...

How in f'n hell can they call a T on Marc?

I dunno. Maybe the game off the court is. But on the court, the NBA is the worst. I feel like I'm watching a play and the referees are the directors.

It's not that bad. I'm not sure how long you've watched the nba, but the calls are a lot better than they used to be. From 1996 through 2002 was one of the worst periods ever, imo. Some of the worse officiated games where it was just so obvious were during that time.

Part of it was they were not going to let MJ lose again. Then after he retired, they needed the glamour team to help fill the void.

Trust me, it's much better.

And if you win, you win. No one takes things away from you afterwards with some bs.

Good call on the punk b*tch (westbrook). He cries every time he doesn't get his way.

How the F do we expect to win when we can't even hit a freebie?

ok, I believe you. I've been watching the NBA for 30 plus years. And I lived in Chicago during most of the Jordan years. I just don't get why the NBA is so easy to predict who's going to win. Unlike the NFL, where teams can come out of nowhere and make a title run.

I believe we are coming out of nowhere and making a run. Right?

That would be an and 1 on the other end

Way too many offensive rebounds given up to win this game.

well, yea I suppose

Another rebound on OKC's offensive end. Killing us...........

Damn OJ, block that bastage out.

Our guys got to make cuts to the basket and help zbo out. Don't just watch.

We have no answer for Westbrook or the refs.

we're still in this game despite NOT getting any calls

We just got to play a little better.

Westbrook almost has a triple double. 3 for 10 from the floor though.

Like right there, we got within 3. We don't box out and let collision score. Then we make a bad pass and durant scores.
