Personally I like them. They aren't cocky, don't talk trash, and have a great budding superstar in Durant. This kid is going to be scary good on the offensive side of the ball if he stays healthy. Westbrook had a coming out party this series, too. Awesome young team. Fun to watch. Should be fun to watch for a few years now.
Westbrook did plenty of talking it seemed like. The media heads were really hyping them unjustly (for now), which made me want to see LA stomp them out. Not OKC's fault of course. ;]
I thought Westbrook was pretty cocky in Game 3. But nevertheless, tough ass team like I've said before. But fuck, trash talking, flagrant fouls, that's what the playoffs are all about. I want to see a Lakers-Houston series next.
Exactly. Also, Kobe seem pissed as hell all game long today. Mainly at Gasol for missing that pass Kobe gave to him. ahah
Durant hardly blows. Artest just played phenomenal defense against him tonight and all series. It happens. It was his first playoff series and he looked the part pretty frequently. However, the kid is still a stud and definitely deserved some recognition for what he accomplished this year, not just individually, but also becoming a team leader and getting his team in to the playoffs. As it stands, that was a crazy end tonight. I thought the Lakers had pissed the game away after they gave up the lead. Our length won us the game and killed the Thunder all throughout the series. I will say this though, we're not winning an NBA title unless we tighten up on defense and get a little more efficient offensively. I also hope this is more of the Kobe we see the rest of the playoffs, because he looked pretty in rhythm tonight offensively, and we need more out of him then 10/29 or 6/19 performances.
Hell no, if Dirk would have put up those numbers you would have been all over him. Durant missed wide open shots all night and he was atrocious, he deserves no awards.
Also I am using some hyperbole dude. I know he'll be good in the future, right now is our time though.
HAHAHA that one three towards the end, did you see Kobe raise his hands like WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN ARTEST?
I did the same thing Kobe did. I was flaming. I cant stand it. Its drives me crazy. HE just needs to stick to what he suppose to do. D-up. Nice to win a close game on the road, but it really shouldn't have gotten to that point.
Kobe could have gotten into the game a little sooner. No point in protecting him from that fifth foul.
I don't think he was protecting him from a foul, I think he was saving him for the end of the game energy wise. It all worked out in the end. And I've got no problems with Artest shooting that wide open three. He was wide fucking open.
Durant is a great player, a serious threat in the futue (hell, he's a threat right now). I love the Thunder team, never complain on the calls, play hard, hustle hard and then when it's over for them, congratulate the opponent and I can say the can go away with their heads up. They gave the defending champions something to think about.
I love Ron Artest. I love Pau Gasol. Nice of Lamar Odom to show up yesterday. I was busy and missed the game. I regret it. Nice tip in by Pau in the final seconds, really wish I was able to have seen it live. Oh well, here comes round 2 and the Utah Jazz! We always take care of the Jazz, so I'm not worried.
I got to watch it as it happened (on TV). The fist pump/punch that I made when Pau nailed that, almost nailed my gf in the face on accident lol
