    The whole Thunder team is about to meltdown, are you surprised, getting destroyed at Home in the playoffs has got to be embarrassing. I guarantee that Porkin's will get a T before this game is over.

    When did the Matrix find the fountain of youth? I think 1 more charge with a miss and no foul from westbrook is meltdown mode.

    Finally a nice run by OKC, we could see a game. If the refs even out the FT disparity it'll be a blow out though.

    Not like Durant is doing so hot himself.

    The Thunder have two offensive options: Durant and Westbrook. They've just gotta keep shooting until they break through.

    How many offensive options do the Mavs have?

    They've got a lot more capable scorers, and a system that facilitates that.

    LOL

    So, one current consistent offensive option. OKC has two, if not three.

    Learn the game, then post.

    They have all scored at least 18 points in a game in the last month.

    And you just made our point. The Thunder only have two scorers and Westbrook is one of them so he must shoot the ball. What they really need to do is move Westbrook to SG and get a real PG. But for now, he must shoot.

    Whose point? Harden is at a 20 PER and a 2.0 WS for the playoffs with a 16 USG%. If anything, a real PG would be getting Harden and Durant the ball in better positions to score. As it is, Westbrook is simply hurting his team at this point. Why Blazer fans want to defend that baffles me, but the stats are there to support my argument.

    Westbrook 4 assists/7 turnovers.

    Defend that one.

    He's not even close to Iverson, though. It's tough to watch a young player wreck his team this way.

    If Westbrook got hurt and missed the whole season, they would've won 25-30 games tops. His positives wayyyy outweigh his negatives. The reason the Mavs got off to a fast start is because Westbrook wasn't aggressive enough when the game began. The 4th quarter benching had gotten in his head.

    Look, Russell being Russell got them this far. But they won't get any further as currently constructed. You can't blame all of that on Russell.

    Finally, there are only 4 Starting PGs left in the playoffs and Westbrook is one of them. That says something.
