Not having an inside threat is hurting them. So is the fact the Westbrook just doesn’t always make the best decisions with the ball. He’s a phenomenal athlete but he needs to get better at setting up others and not look for his own shot so much. Even with their flaws I still think Okc is the 2nd best team in the league.

I would say the Spurs could have scored 120 in about half or more of their games over the past 2 months, but they tend to let up and play defense once they get a big lead in the 4th (which is often). The last couple of months of the regular season, they were frequently pulling all their starters and letting the deep bench guys like Patty Mills, James Anderson, and some call-ups from the Austin D-league team play the entire 4th quarter while the big 3 sat on the bench and laughed it up.

I don’t know if anyone has seen the Spurs best, 100% offensive effort yet in the playoffs. Tonight might be the night, as they will probably face their stiffest test so far in OKC.
