Miami just doesn't look interested out there. You would think they would show up tonight but they didn't after the first 7 minutes. They just dont' look like they care. I'd imgaine they will pick it up in the playoffs but they just look old out there. Reggie Jackson didn't even play well. What if RW was here getting into the lane every play?

I dont know.

They came out on fire, disinterested i dont know, maybe.

It was a regular season game, they dont have a B2B, im sure they are tired of hearing about KD.

Beating them like this without Russ is scary.

I know Fisher wont hit five 3's next game but if you're open, thats a good shot and goes in most of the time.

I think this is bigger for OKC for their mental pysche, Miami has owned them the last 6 or 7 games.

All things considered i thought PJ3 did a nice job on Bron, he needs more minutes.

Is he on a roster?

Yeah, he is still with the Thunder. They like his ability to be a backup center but it just doesn't make sense to play him over Adams. If they find someone to dump Perks expiring contract on they will have Thabeat off the bench. But, supposedly one of their international prospects is coming over next year.

Perry Jones is going to be a big part of the THunder team next year. Out go Perk/Thabo in come Lamb for more minutes and Perry Jones. The league better hope the Thunder don't win it this year because they will be even better next year.
 
The Thunder were 16-27 from 3. That explains the game. It can happen at times. Not something that is sustainable.

Do you realize how many of those were wide open shots. There stategy was to hard trap KD and he passed out quick and the ball movement was awesome today.

Sure, they won't hit that many threes but they are going to get back a top 10 player the next time they play. That could possibly even things out.

Mia was doubling KD the whole game, what do you expect to happen?

It came down to KD finally getting some help from the role players.

Something Miami has gotten the last 6-7 times vs OKC.

OKC probably wins the Finals if they got some players to step up in the Finals not named Russ or KD.
 
Like the bank shot 3 from Fisher?

Doesn't matter how "open" they were. The Thunder have one guy that shoots over 40% from three and 2 35% shooters went 9-11 from 3

I dont mind Thabo, but you cant have both Perk AND Thabo starting.

I would like Thabo back over Perk but depends on the price of course.

OKC might have the MLE to play with next summer, might be wrong though.

Open shots go in at a much higher percentage than contested ones. You can't give an average rate and say they were lucky. Now, if you have an open rate and they exceeded that then I will agree with you.

Fisher doing that is probably an anamoly.

Makes up for the Mia role players never missing vs OKC when they play.

Lamb has such a quick release, and as thethe said, they were trapping/doubling KD every damn possession.

Wide open shots.

OKC doesn't need to make any changes. There roster is sick and we should expect improvement from guys like Jackson/Lamb/Adams/Jones.

Also, Tibor Pleiss is possibly coming over and he has been getting solid reviews in a tough Spanish league. Plus you have guys like Roberson and next years first round pick.
