Thunder played well for 3 quarters and couldnt finish in the 4th the spurs are deeper and have more lineups that they can use. OKC must needed a better effort on D and they would have been fine.

I’m sorry, I just don’t get it. the Thunder would have won the game had they stopped San Antonio a handful of times in the fourth quarter. I am the first to admit that SA is a great ten but why is everyone crowning them champs after a game in which they squeaked out a win on their floor. I dare say that if the Thunder disrupt the Parker and Duncan flow, they will win more often than not!

That’s why they play the game.

Either Westbrook hit a three or he is walking down a fashion runway modeling the newest OKC jersey.

I’ve become of the opinion that Westbrook’s problem is he takes too many bad shots instead of passing it off to someone who can get a better look. You’ve got one of the 2 best players in the game right now in Kevin Durant, and instead of giving him his, Westbrook tries desperately to be something he’s not. It doesn’t seem like he cares about the team at all. He thinks he’s the best player on that team, and he’s no where close.

But that’s just it. The Thunder aren’t anything close to the more talented team. Durant is probably the best player on the court, but then all three Spurs stars are next before Westy and Harden. And then there’s the depth. Good lord it should be abundantly apparent that the Spurs are the deepest and most talented team in the league when the Bulls are minus Rose.

In Game 1 Westbrook was handling the ball too much and trying too hard. He would drive at a bad angle and jump from the free throw line just to take an out of control shot. Very disappointed with his performance… probably Harden should be handling the ball more. He’s proved to be a clutch ball handler and always puts pressure on the defense.

I hate it for the Thunder but they just don’t execute well. Maybe they have ten times the talent of the Spurs but they can’t win without some great playcalling and great execution. Maybe they haven’t been together long enough, maybe they are too young, maybe Scott Brooks isn’t that great of a coach but there’s a problem for the Thunder and the Spurs will expose it.
