Part of the reason why he’s dribbling the ball at the top of the key is because their running KD and Harden off of baseline screens and they aren’t getting open. Then the shot clock goes down and then either Westbrook has to create a shot or KD comes and gets the ball and create a shot. OKC’s offense is bogging down, but blaming it all on Westbrook means that you are ignoring the offball action that is a major part of their offense.

Who also saw Marc Gasol outplaying his brother in these playoffs and his team potentially going farther than the Lakers? There don’t seem to be any questions as to whether Marc Gasol will show up. I don’t think anyone predicted that.

I don’t understand Russell Westbrook…brilliant for 3 quarters and then hogged the ball so much in the fourth that I was screaming at the tv for him to pass. He was dribbling until the shot clock was down to 6 or 7 seconds. And you got to hand it to Tony Allen…he was dogging KD so much that he couldn’t get any separation when he did get the ball….geez…this was a disappointing loss for the Thunder for sure…

Remember the media uproar when Memphis gave Conley that contract at the beginning of the season? How’s that crow taste! Marc Gasol needs to be in Miami next year. The dude is monster with skills that pay the bills

I tell you what, if Tony Allen doesn’t get 1st Team All-Defense this year, it will be an absolute crime. He was crazy good last night (aswell as being his usual crazy) just like he has been all year.

Lost in all of this…
How good (and surprisingly good) has Mike Conley been in these playoffs? He’s proven himself to be a legitimate starting PG on a good playoff team. How many so called basketball experts saw that coming 2 years ago?
I’d like to see a PBT post on Conley. He deserves it more than anyone else right now.
