    well, "playoff" CJ scored 24 points on 24 shots; that's 1 point a shot

    meanwhile, Dame, the guy you trashed all thread long, scored 30 points on 21 shots; that's 1.43 points/shot

    ESPN always undermixes the crowd, local coverage pumps it up... it sounds quiet because there’s no standards for that

    Who would you rather have taking clutch end-of-game free throws, CJ or Chief?

    That was a rhetoric question.

    My only complaint about this game was Collins getting so many minutes. I'd like to see Meyers get a shot. Collins looked in over his head. Not saying Meyers would do better but he should get a shot.

    It feels so good to win a playoff game. I want more of this feeling!

    Serious Props for Dame in the post game interview for his candor. Asked what POR did to make OKC miss shots, and he says it's just them missing shots, especially PG who missed open looks. Says we need to do a better job

    Yeah just heard that too. It is good that he at least recognizes it and is honest about it so that we can tighten up and make adjustments so they don't have those same looks as opposed to yeah we did great, will keep it up.

    Just now referenced how he too like Kanter, is considered a weak defender. None of this false bravado bullshit

    I feel like CJ can't get a whistle at the rim if his life depended on it.

    While this might be correct for a lot of this season it is incorrect today.
    It was loud as fuck in there and I've been to a lot of big games.
    Wrong about the crowd. It was way louder than the Lakers game because like 1/3 of that crowd were Lakers fans. Not too many OKC fans there today.

    My only complaint is, we won't win this series unless something changes. Looking at the quality of shots two teams are getting tells more about who is going to win than the current scoreboard.

    Once again, too much hero ball at the end of the game. It worked out, barely, but then we did have a lead. Our interior defense is a sieve. We gave up way too many offensive rebounds. Nurk used to clean up a lot of the easy dribble penetration but we no longer have that. Perimeter defenders need to do a better job.
