What's Wrong With OKC

[HacksawJimThuggin]

I agree with Loose, Scott Brooks is getting thoroughly outcoached by Spo... also, the Heat's D is better than any the Thunder have faced; but it's more than that, they're also a lot more physical than OKC's previous opponents... the Heat just came off playing the Pacers and Celtics (two physical teams); they seem more battle tested, physically, and mentally tough at this point

I know it's a cliche, but it really is a make or miss league... a few bounces going the other way and it's a 3-1 series in favor of the Thunder and no one's saying a damn thing

Also we need to pass, movement off the ball(which they're none) and less dribbling. Our offense has devolved into iso and force feed KD 25 feet from the basket. This is primarily in the part of the unit that is on the floor the heat understands that they always have a chance every-game with scott's rotations.

Nick Collison 17 minutes Just doesn't make any bit of sense to me when he has been the most productive big this series; He has a short lease for certain players but longer for others if you arent being productive you should be pulled regardless of your stature. In no shape or form should derrick fisher be getting major minutes in the 4th when defense is how games are won.

Thats why I LIKE POP He dont give a crap who you are he make your ass sit down

Becoming a jump shooting team it seems

Harden is dead, Scott Brooks is overthinking everything, team defense sucks, and most importantly when dealing with 2 elite teams in the NBA....

They are on the wrong side of the whistle. What's happening to Sabo is ridiculous.

 

[lachreyatarbabypits]

Theyre immature and stupid. Thats whats wrong with them.

Harden

Basically. The big 3 were on fire against the Spurs. Harden has played maybe his two worst games of the season in games 3 and 4 of the finals. He's getting open looks too.

 

[JetLife]

They don't seem to have any half court offense at all.

It's either:

- Westbrook takes it 1 on 3 for a contested layup or pull up jumper at the free throw.
- Durant gets the ball, back to the basket, near the 3 pt line, defender on his back with 12 seconds to work.
- Harden attempts his scoop layup since his J is broke.

In the 1% chance they do run a successful pick and roll, it's usually an Ibaka 20 footer or a Thabo 3 ... both are

They have no money play on the Heat defense and everything is closely contested.

Why don't they run pick and pop with Russ/Durantula? Either Durant peels off for a wide open look or Russ sheds two defenders off the pick and can get to the hoop ...

-----

On the other side, Lebron is absolutely raping them in the post. He gets double teamed by a smaller guy who goes for steals (which haven't happened) instead of cutting off passing lanes and they just rotate the ball around and bomb from 3 on the first pass or slash on the second pass since Ibaka and them get baited into cheating over like mufuggas.

for some reason brooks keeps having harden guard lebron...thats taking him out of the game on offense due to lack of energy and wasting him on D because he cannot guard bron..heat D is a lot better than Spurs but the Heat offense is not that good plus the Thunder are playing some garbage ass D which is making it easy for the Heat to score

 

[Money!!]

No answer for Lebron in post..sometimes they can defend the Bosh Pick n roll seems 50/50 at best. Harden is key for OKC hes must score more then Battier or freakin Almario to be able to win this series...

1. LeBron seems to be wearing them down on both sides. On defense KD looks happy to just get a shot up against him(the nikka is damn near automatic btw ) and on offense James Harden especially has the look of a 13 year old kid forced to go shopping with his mom...annoyed and helpless.

2. No plan for Chris Bosh. Bosh is out there playing a position we used to call "Monster" or "Hero" in football. Basically go where ever the ball is and do whatever you want. He's hitting J's, grabbing offensive rebounds making all the small plays.

That's what im not getting though The heat can score but they ain't no high powered offense they are more of a defensive team cuz they had elite defense but the Spurs had elite offensive and average defense and the Thunder had elite offense and better D than my Spurs and yet the Thunder can't stop the Heat offense im not understanding this at all

I got Lebron and Dwade hell even Bosh but come on man there other players killing them.

Its like the Thunder thought playing the Spurs was the damn Finals to me

heat d dominates when wade and bron never get called for fouls
