First Round: OKC Thunder (2) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (7)

[Big Jake Little Jake]

Calling Thomas a chucker who plays no D is ridiculous. Dude is as underrated as they come. His only knock is size. 45/36/86 career shooting percentages, competes on D, even rebounds well for his size. Just silly.

I do agree he's underrated, but he does have trouble on D. Maybe he puts forth effort, but his size is a serious limitation.

Not sure where you're getting the good rebounding thing from either. For example, Westbrook averages almost 3 more boards a game then Thomas, in less minutes.

Westbrook on the Kings would have them in the playoffs. Thomas is a good shooter with a lot of range and quick as hell, but I'm not sure he's remotely the leader or playmaker he needs to be at the PG position. Maybe he'll get there though. He's still pretty young.

[TOO]

Agree to disagree, I think youre underselling him defensively. As for rebounding, he a Goran both avg 3 per despite a 6" difference, he's a good rebounder for a 5'9" guy. I think he's really good. As for looking for playmakers at PG, the days of that being the norm are gone.

Westbrook shoots the Thunder out of another game.

[TOO]

I'm not solely blaming Westbrook, Durant laid an egg just the same, 0-8 from downtown?! Brutal.

[SDC]

OKC is a different PG away, I think Westbrook needs his own spotlight where he can take the shots and not be second guessed constantly.

if i were OKC, i'd trade for dragic and turn him into a james harden type off the bench guy playing 4th qtrs.

[TOO]

Why would the Suns do that?

[Sunsfan4life]

I'm not a westbrook fan, but lets be fair. He didn't lose tonight's game for them. He actually played pretty well down the stretch and Duarnt for some reason was content taking long 2's and 3's. He had atleast a dribble or two he could of took on the last shot of regulation, but instead chucked up a falling away 3.

I think the Thunder can do better then Thomas and Mclemore for Westbrook. I like Isiah Thomas alot, but I don't like Mclemore at all and haven't since the 2nd part of his freshman yr at KU.

I agree Dragic would look awesome next to KD, but what exactly are the Thunder trading us for him?

[Mori Chu]

I just love seeing Memphis rough up and overpower OKC. I really want to see them win the series. I love Durant and want to see him score 40 points every game but then lose. As long as OKC has Westbrick I will root against them.

Why would the Suns do that?

get rid of the redundancy at the PG position? but what can OKC offer? draft picks?

Ha ha!

[Mori Chu]

Anybody else watching game 4? love this series.

[Mori Chu]

Memphis has finally found a lineup that consistently works. Conley, Udrih, Miller, Randolph, Gasol. Prince kills them out there.

[Mori Chu]

Nice to see Reggie Jackson having a big game.

[Mori Chu]

Memphis takes the lead! Yes! Get the FUCK out, Russell Westbrook.

[Mori Chu]

Hmm, tie game with 30 sec left. Are we looking at another OT? 3rd in a row?

[Sunsfan4life]

This series has been awesome.

Tony Allen has played like a beast.

Reggie Jackson with a bunch of no....no....no.....yes! shots.

Westbrook complaining.....

[TOO]

I know Westbrook is an easy target, but Durant has been just as bad this series.

[Sunsfan4life]

I agree that westbrook sometimes gets too much criticism, but he's an easy target, because he throws temper tantrums publically and complains more then KD does IMO. He still is a hell of a player and had several key offensive boards tonight
