Crazy finish last night. Thunder steal home court advantage.

 

Crazy indeed. Key was the soft pass up ahead. No OKC player back. Could have gotten an easy layup. Great hustle by Adams on multiple occasions in that sequence. I would love to see a camera shot from under the basket on that last scramble.

 

I've also never seen an inbounder shove the defender. Not sure how that was missed. My guess is that official was so stunned that he froze.

That or maybe he was watching the feet to make sure Waiters didn't travel. :idunno: Adams did a great job defending that scramble.

 

Not sure why Ginobli didn't take that floater.

The Thunder didn't show up for game 1 and the Spurs choked in game 2. Maybe this will be a great series after all.

I think Game 3 will tell us a lot. A Thunder team playing with great confidence and swagger will be a handful. Also, the Spurs have lost to the Thunder as a prohibitive favorite before, so that memory has to linger.

 

I was shocked that Vegas made the Spurs favorites in OKC for game 3. Reason #2,384,284 why I don't bet my hard-earned moolah.

Pop & Co take back HC advantage. Spurs won't give up another game at home. They will move on GS now.

Smart man...Vegas knows all...

I feel like whatever the Spurs do, just motivates the Thunder to prove themselves. It gives them fire and confidence. I felt like they made their point game 2 and than laid back again. The thunder need that anger to win.

KD was unreal down the stretch. Hit a number of really difficult buckets while Leonard was on him. I seemed like the pace got to the Spurs a little in the 4th quarter.

The most shocking thing of the this series is the rapid decline of Tim Duncan. He wasn't this bad in the regular season was he? Granted he only played every 3-4 games but I don't remember him not being usable at all.

Had that conversation with my brother yesterday. Yikes, he's been bad.

Yeah he's been awful. Gotta think he's done after this.

When I saw him earlier this year he looked decent. Serviceable, at least, and could still bring it on defense. Now he has turned into the Mark Coury of the Spurs. Not sure if it is injury or what, but it has certainly been a precipitous decline. Until the playoffs started, I assumed he would be back for another season (or two).

20 MPG 4.4 PPG 5 RPG 43% shooting...

As I said above, the Thunder are dangerous. This is no shock as they have 2 of the top 5 players in the NBA. A TON of fire power. They fire on all cylinders best when Durant is the primary shooter/scorer. I don't think it is a coincidence that Westbrook cut his shot attempts by 13 from games 3 to 4 and the Thunder were able to pull away late. He gets going into "Russ take over the world" mode and it just leads to a herky jerky flow.

Westbrook alone is solid reason to dislike the Thunder.
