I agree with you, Westbrook looks more like Kobe.

 

Being Black is about all he has in common with Kobe, well that and the odd similarities to a Doberman Pincher!

 

I mean more in the Ball Hog, I am the team attitude.

 

go heat!

 

Iverson was a GREAT player, but never won... Both are not leaders and just crazy selfish! If you noticed last night he missed some very crucial shots with time running out, when the BEST player on the court got the ball he made it... Westbrook should not shoot 15 more times than Durant

 

Durant is def the man on the team but Westbrook is a great player and proved it during Denver's series.

Let's not forget he's 22.

 

To be fair, KD did miss a three pointer that would have clinched the game in 1st overtime.

 

True, but I believe that was his 2nd shot in 20 minutes! I know Shane B is a very solid defender, but Jesus this kid is a MACHINE and with 10 more LBS would be the most dominate player in the nba! Give him the figgen BALL!

 

I was at the Grizz/OKC game last night. The sheer amount of energy in the place was amazing. Everyone in there was still cheering full tilt, even through the 3rd OT. once the buzzer went off the fans all stood and gave a standing ovation.

/begin neutral analysis..
Both teams had lots of missed opportunities. The inability to capitalize on those opportunities is what led to the triple OT. In the end, it was foul trouble that did Memphis in, with Conley and TA fouled out, they lost both of their Momentum swing players. That plus OKC was able to get a two key turnovers that lead to a 6 pt lead that swelled to 10 once Memphis had to start fouling to stop the clock. If you look at the score you would think that OKC schooled Memphis, but in reality it was a neck and neck game, down to the wire, with OKC pulling ahead in the last 2 minutes of what was 60+ minutes of game time. OKC's game was not perfect either. Westbrook needs to learn how to share the ball. If he could do that, he and Durant would be unstoppable. As it is, I think he will be their downfall, if not against Memphis, then the Heat. They are both YOUNG teams with lots of room to grow.

By no means would I could Memphis out, as they have shown throughout the playoffs that they are a tough team, at home and on the road. I think it is highly likely that this series will go 7 games.

/biased/ Go Grizz!!!! win it is 6!

 

5 games for Bynum seems pretty soft. But I'll take it.

It sets a weird precedent though, what if the game was a lot closer, and someone decided to mug the top scorer that was on a roll for the opposition? 5 games w/o pay next season doesn't mean much compared to a championship. One question, if LA had won the game, I am assuming Bynum would serve his 5 games in the playoffs?
