baka played the worst offensive game I've seen this year. If he shoots his normal fg % we win that by 10 points.


This. OKC looked awful and still pulled out a win.

They will be favored in their next game, but not by much I'm guessing. Gonna be some potential value in that line.

How far do OKC fans think they can go now? What's the goal? Not getting embarrassed in the WCF?

If we can get to the Spurs and take it to 6-7 games, I'll be completely satisfied w/o Westbrook.

Still a tall order in front of us right now though.

Ibaka wont play good when going up against Marc Gasol or Z Bo the rest of the series, although he will play a little bit better..

But you also can expect a decline in Kevin Martins game. and an increase in the Grizzlies FT shooting..

It's going to be a good series though

Yeah I'm not saying Ibaka gets 20/10 but I doubt a guy who shoots over 57% for the year from the field will shoot 1 for 10 again. He missed some very open shots early on.

Ibaka should play better, and you have to think OKC will shoot better from deep as they have all season. You can't really give credit to Memphis for the dip today as they just missed some wide open looks that you'd expect them to convert. That being said, Memphis is a really, really good team. I still think they'll win the series, but they won't win it without taking some solid punches from the Thunder.

Durant is averaging 36 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists since Westbrook got hurt

Yeah cuz he has too.

He could easily average 32-35 ppg if he had a pass-first PG. But the flip side is he doesn't ever get gassed when Russ is playing. Workload is distributed pretty well.

I don't know how to say this without sounded like a dick. Obviously that's impressive and KD is the freakin man. But a championship would be impossible with those lines. The stats are nuts but they don't exactly create a great environment for winning a championship.

Excuse me if what I said was retarded...I'm drunk as hell.

Clearly Westbrook is the best player of the two and Durant is a scrub and Durant isn't close to LeBron.
