Also, for anyone that ever questioned the move of Ibaka vs. Harden....Last night was a prime example of why Ibaka was more valuable to the Thunder than Harden was.

Its not a Thunder game without some tough guy acts from Perkins or Ibaka.
 
Tough game, but on a B2B, no Russ/Thabo/Perk.

Houston played a hell of a game and still came down to end, oh well.

This was a game where OKC really needed Russ, Hou basically trapped KD all game.

At least the streak lives on for one more game at least.

Didn't want to congest the CBB thread:

OKC winning a ring would be horrible for your long term prospects, a ring means Brooks is there for another 6 years.

Hard to say that winning a ring would be bad in any situation because that probably means KD stays but man I do not want Brooks here long term.

Obviously you take a ring if you are assured one BUT OKC is better off sans Brooks.

Yeah, I think even if we lose this year that as long as Ollie is brought here KD will stay. It should all be about making sure KD stays in OKC and doesn't go to Washington. That means anyone including my favorite player is movable.
 
I'm not sure if Ollie will leave UConn.

With Brooks, meh, i dont think he's as bad as some say but he does make some dumb moves like playing the bench to start quarters and lead dwindles.
 
The rotations are not even the worst part about Brooks. He is not a good play caller. The play is basically here KD or RW. Take the ball and make something happen. Yeah, that works because KD and RW are amazing but over the course of a 7 game series that can be stopped.
 
Thats true, they dont have a ton of guys who can create their own shot.

Which is why i hope they can somehow get that Dallas pick.

Maybe move up for someone or to give Presti two chances to land a stud in the 1st.
 
Brooklyn...........

Doesnt mean much though, still doubt they'd win a series over Miami as long as Wade plays.
 
That 4/5 matchup in the East should be fun to watch. Both teams play excellent defense and if KG can get on the court that will be a really tough defensive series.
 
Anyone that believes Lebron gets all the calls needs to watch the last play when Lebron is fouled twice, once by Johnson and once by Plumlee.

Plumlee got ball first then the hand.

He was definitely fouled before hand. But when you are as physical as Lebron you arne't going to get every call because he inflicts abuse on the opposition as well. Shaq should have gotten fouls on almost every time he touched the ball. You can't call everything.
 
If Plumlee got any ball at all it was with his pinkie.

Looked like the ball moved before contact was made with the hand. I didn't see the replay too many times after the game though. Looked like a good clean block to me. Once contact is made with the ball then you can make contact with the hand.
