Wtf man. Westbrook been dog shit all year at shooting, now he’s Jamal Murray. Fuckin bs man lol

Hey, let the man feel good while he's heading into his offseason. He does put in the effort.

I'd take him off the bench over every other player we've got there, just saying.

I just don’t understand how Westbrook turned back the clock to 2013. Like the entire league thought he was dead. No one wanted him when he was cut. He was a buyout guy and he’s the best player on a playoff team right now. He might’ve been the best player on the court today. It’s insane

Huh? Are you not watching Booker or something? Oh, yeah. You gave up.

The funny thing is this series will make everyone forget how bad he was trying to play within a team concept where he isn’t the focal point.

My concern is that we struggled to beat the Clippers twice without their best players.
Our offense at least should be better.

Definitely a concern. It'd be a different team we'd be facing and probably less minutes for some guys who have hurt us but they'd have more size on the perimeter and more reliable offense. It'd be a tougher series for sure.

They are still only what 12 games in together? KD looks unsure sometimes deferring when he should shoot, guys over sharing etc. I think the offense will improve as the playoffs go on.

Yep, just as we designed it. Can't wait to see how it comes together and is looking in the Finals.

[Superbone]

Haha Paul and the Ayton with just an awful start to the 3rd. Gonna do something else now, tired of watching this team fight itself.

Dude. Seriously? You're going to quit watching a playoff game? Hope you didn't miss all the fun.

I can only handle so much with the game and a suped up toddler lol. I chose the kid over the game.

Ah, forgot about the toddler. It's been a while for me but I can still remember. My bad.

[Superbone]

I don’t think there’s any chance this team can beat Denver

Agreed. I think we are kidding ourselves if we think we can. We're not executing well enough and logging big minutes for our starters is going to take its toll.

I guess I'm kidding myself. We'll see.

That’s my Superbone

You and me, 'Dack! It's not over until it's over.

Don’t need that toddler picking up a slew of new curse words from dad watching the game lol

Ha. Luckily my sons grew up in the Steve Nash era. That was special.

[Superbone]

First to 100…

You forgot something.

I thought for sure I was going to see "...BITCHES!" on the next page.

[Superbone]

I like what Lee is giving us right now.

He gave us a triple single in 14 minutes: 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 steal.

He’s been at least as good as Shamet in the last two games. Low bar, but still..

At least he makes a basket every now and then.

[Superbone]

Isn't Shamet like 0 for 9 this series.

He made two baskets in game one.

I think I’m gonna check out for 20 minutes and see how we’re doing later

You too? Sad. You guys give up easily. I'm disappointed in you two.

I didn’t end up checking out haha

The most encouraging thing I saw in this game was the ball movement, especially in the first quarter. There was a lot less standing around looking at each other for the best 1v1 matchup. Game by game, they're starting to gel.

Hence the microwave role I'd have for him. Just go out and play balls out for 20 minutes a night while the big guns rest. Sign me up.

Book was great once again…he and Westbrook were the two best players for sure
