From T-Mac:

Me and Roy Hibbert had the same amount of points and rebounds tonight.

Poor Roy.  He's just a huge, completely unproductive, super easy target right now.

Its a bummer -- I quite like Hibbert, but his game cratered harder than post-prison Lil Wayne over the last few months.

Hibbert stinks. Vogel should go with Mahinmi the rest of the series.

He's basically done that, he's playing backup C minutes now.

I think mod issues go in the Community forum.  ;)

Seriously though, what is up with Hibbert?  He doesn't seem hurt; is he just having a slow-motion mental breakdown?  He had two ok rebounding games (8+7) last round and otherwise is averaging 1.8 for the playoffs.  This has got to be a nearly unprecedented slump for an All-Star with no major injuries.

I wonder if nagging injuries have sapped some of his quickness, but beyond that it is completely a mental meltdown. He can't make layups right now or grab a single rebound.

Also, Doc totally outcoached Scott Brooks last night. It was great.

Coaching Chris Paul to go 8 for 9 from deep was genius.

 ;D

Did you watch the game? It was pretty obvious that one team was well-scouted, informed, and executing -- compared with quality rotations and defensive choices. The other team was Oklahoma City.

Also, watching Jamal Crawford in "oh, yeah, I can totally hit this off-the-dribble 3" mode was super fun, too.

I watched the game, it's easy to win when your best player shoots eight threes....

I was just having fun with you.  To be honest, I didn't watch it too closely, but I did watch a little bit.  During the stretch that I watched, the Clippers opened the game up, it seemed to me, primarily because Paul couldn't miss from beyond the arc.  He was just pulling up and raining threes on every possession.

That said, I don't doubt that Doc out coached Scott Brooks.  My impression of Scott Brooks' coaching is that it's fairly subpar, while I think Doc is a fantastic coach.

CP3 would've played an incredible game even if he'd been human from beyond the arc:

Warning: may be too filthy for work.

Also, it was nice to see the Thunder fans suck, because I'm almost positive they wouldn't root for a bad team.
