Can I ask why Westbrook decided to stop passing the ball again???

Cliff Paul is appalled, as am I.

Because he has the ego stroking need to be THE guy on his team? I don't know if that's the case, but you have to wonder. Then again, maybe it's the typical Guard mentality that causes them to "hog" the ball because I'm seeing Harden and Lillard taking poor shots in the Houston/Portland series when ball movement would be a better choice.

upon further review, he may have panicked, down 3 with 29 seconds left in OT, still stupid as hell to panic when you have KEVIN FREAKIN DURANT who is clutch as hell on your team.

Salute to the Heat for standing with the Clippers in protest and stuff.

ATL up 19 in the second.

HA.

 

[Throwdown]

Atl was the only under .500 to make the playoffs too.

If it weren't for Horford's injury, Atlanta would've been top 4.

Portland reminds me of 2012-13 seahawks. A young team, lead by a young dynamic undersized leader (Lillard/Wilson) and a vet who's never quit lived up to his potential until recently (Aldridge/Beast mode). But, the team still has missing pieces, Seattle had a lack of pass rush the killed them in Atl and Portland has a lack of D. Which will kill them in the playoffs also. If Oshay can do something similar to JS, and go out and sign 2-3 players to fix the issues, Portland could be a legit title threat next year.

Completely agree about the defense being the achilles heel of this team. Well, that and the defensive rebounding which is simply awful. Your analogy with the Hawks of 12-13 is a good one man.

WIZARDSSSS

also, peaches, do your boys even care anymore? Looks like they're just throwing up shots just to do it.

The Zombie Sonics have yet to play the first 3 quarters of any game.

 

[Throwdown]

So happy I don't have to root for Westbrook, this dude has the shot selection of a wombat.

Memphis about to wrap this up, thank you lord!

 

[Throwdown]

Nooooo god damn you Mike Conley!!!!

I was blown away at that point. 7 seconds left and you LET IT GET STOLEN?

Can't believe they pulled it out in OT IN OKC.

Lol I turned my head for a split second to look at something my dog was doing, look back and I see Westbrook streaking down the court uncontested, I got a little sad at that moment, won't lie.
