2012 NBA Playoffs Thread

I'm THRILLED with this win. Probably the most proud I've been of OKC of any win they've had thus far and I'm not just talking about this year.

That's a tough task to win there and I'm thrilled with the way they played tonight.

Game 6 is going to be TOUGH. I'd love to see us pull it off though.

i agree, this was their best win ever IMO

Keep it up OKC...Don't let down..FINISH :grab:

i forgot about that tyson chandler trade! if they pull that one off they wouldnt have traded for perkins! they would have had green last year, and the mavs never win the title! why did it get declined again?

He got his foot operated on by the doc when he was with the Hornets that year they played in OKC because of Katrina... The same doc who did the surgery said he didn't think it would hold up. That was when Chandler was hurt every year, of course. Funny that he's pretty much been healthy ever since.

And just think, they had Tyson Chandler traded for before their docs rescinded it because they didn't think his foot would hold up...

They also traded Jeff Green, who was the 5th pick of his draft, for Perkins.

That's 4 players drafted in the top 5 over a 3 year span. They should be good.

I know he's a great player, but I do chuckle every time Ginobli drives the lane and then acts like someone shot him.

OKC has that will and more want it seems.God OKC crowd is gonna be loudest crowd ever.

 

[RamziD]

Spotted them 24 minutes? I think OKC had something to do with that. They didn't have a very good shooting half either.

KD is overrated as ****. Dude didn't touch the ball for over 3 straight mins down the stretch. It's a major flaw in his game. He doesnt demand the rock enough.

People can and should blame some of it on Westbrook. But I've seen westy look for him constantly and KD is sitting in the corner doing nothing

come on, look at harden, he takes a three and acts like he got blasted with a cannon, he jerks his head to try and get a call. it is what it is, the refs call that bullcrap, so players adapt, otherwise reggie miller would have never started kicking out his leg to get foul calls

Everytime

ya, so when do the mavs play again?

I sure wish the NBA would do something to get rid of that crap.

I do not agree with this post.

In my opinion, Ginobli is worse, but that's just my perspective. Both of them flop but I do think that Ginobli's reaction is funnier.

Not surprising that this is coming from a LeBron fan.

It's not his fault he wasn't touching the ball Westbrick was hogging the ball. OKC was very lucky to win that game with the way Westbrook played. It doesn't even matter if he demands it Westbrick holds the ball and chucks up a contested jumper. Durant has no flaws. He's the best scorer in the game hands down, he's a great rebounder, gets to the line and makes a good percentage, he's efficient from the field, he's arguably the most clutch player in the game, his playmaking has improved tremendously, and he's become a terrific 1 on 1 defender. He did a great job on Kobe in the last series.

He's a Bron Bron lover?

If so, no explanation needed for the insane comments about KD, etc.

There's no excuse for not touching the ball for over 3 mins. None.

Guess what? Tonight wasn't the only time. It happened all of last year. KD made some strides this postseason. But you guys are blind if you think he demands the ball down the stretch. He sits on the corner and doesn't move. It's embarrassing.

LeBron does the same thing so what's your point? Dude constantly gives the ball up in the clutch. At least KD takes the majority of the shots in the clutch.

You're describing the frozen one.
