    Missed the games last night but 0 posts in here about them :eek:

    Nets went 15/25 from 3, only the fifth time in playoff history that a team has taken 25 and shot 60% or more.

    Parker had 29 points against the Trail Blazers, looks like the break he had in April is paying off big time.

    Yeah, my habit has been to watch the 2nd-half or 4th-quarter of games the following day on gamepass, or the first half if it was on at 12. This worked quite well for the first round where there were a lot of close games, but in the 2nd round a lot of the games have been one-sided, and I've ended up not watching much of the 2nd halves.

    From what I've seen, by a good distance the best series is Clippers-Thunder, two very good teams.

    Wizards-Pacers is close, but wow, it looked poor quality the other night in game 3.

    Heat-Nets will get interesting if the Nets can take game 4, but obviously setting records for 3-pointers isn't something you can repeat easily.

    I grimaced admittedly.

    OKC are on course for 500 points. Haven't missed so far. Up big midway through the 1st.

    It's very early, but I dare say the Clippers are nearing the the danger zone if not already in it.

    Thunder have only themselves to blame there. Absolutely atrocious levels of carelessness there to lose that.

    shockin performance by KD in 4th - he actually looked intimidated by chris paul guarding him. best thing that happened to clips was maybe blake griffin being on 5 fouls so they had to put cp3 on durant haha mental stuff

    Imagine if a Doc Rivers, Thibs, Van Gundy or Pop were coaching this OKC team. Sigh.

    We go on about Nuri and Brooks here but it's more than warranted now

    Brooks has to take the blame. Don't think I've ever seen a team come out with such a careless attitude than OKC did in the 4th. They pretty much thought the game was done after 3 and didn't respond when the Clippers went on a run. Botched their timeouts, drew some horrible plays, didn't foul when they needed to.... man, I can't believe that the Clippers have leveled the series

    Surely the players have to take the blame for this one. I mean, 38 points in the 4th..

    Collins made a great point that OKC was not complacent, but fell back on bad habits, ie: iso plays galore. Brooks is still a fool though for not seeing this and adjusting.

    This is a far bigger issue than KD turnovers or even this game as a whole.

    Great game. Gotta love Chris Paul, doesn't look physically 100% and still doing so much....guarding Durant effectively on one end, setting up guys and scoring on the other.

    What is he, 6'1 vs. Durant's 6'11? And when they moved Granger onto Durant, van Gundy said 'Durant will have an easier time now'.
