If Russell Westbrook plays like he's never going to get the call his entire career...

It makes sense to me because his teammates should have made up for it.

Harden missing open shots to me is more of a failure than that gaffe.

He hits three of them, and it's a different game.

I absolve Westbrook from fault because he did most of the heavy lifting and his teammates didn't share the load. Isolating the game to one gaffe is retarded.

I never did.

A mental mistake is a mental mistake though. It shouldnt have happened

Pointing out Westbrook needs to tighten up his awareness at the end of games isnt exactly blasphemy. It doesnt take away how sick he was last night though either.

He's a young player...he just needs to know better. The foul and dribbling the ball off your foot cant happen in a close game down the stretch.

yeah but a dumb foul is a dumb foul. Just because Westbrook went off doesnt make it not a dumb foul

The game should not have come down to his one gaffe in light of what he did offesively. You just can't see that light.

Russell would've never made that mistake if Durant didn't let Battier out rebound him :dry:

Help me out here fellas......how exactly was it a dumb foul (real question here)?

wouldn't Miami have gotten a new 24 & ran out the last 18 seconds? It was either that or foul.

that wasnt shyt. How Durant let Battie leap and tip that ball? Durant had 2 boards the whole game? Why the fukk didnt Harden box out for the rebound that led to the jump and the added 5 seconds. or anybody during that whole game ?

shyt i didnt even know that the clock resets to 5. i thought it stays the same.

the shot clock doesnt reset in the NBA unless the ball hits the rim

exactly, every single one of his teammates INCLUDING ME thought he only had 0.8 secs to score. actual nba players didn't know the rule existed
