Westbrook is a superstar, but I'm not sure if I want to play with him as another star myself. He has horrible decision-making for a point guard.

OKC is really good at choking these kind of games away.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

Dang, not seeing Timmy in to close games is different.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

So you're telling me that good things happen when you keep feeding Durant the ball rather than having Westbrook miss more shots than Durant takes?? No way.  ::)

That baseline 10 foot floater was sick by Durant.

Westbrook has done his best at trying to stay out of Durant's way.

OKC might win this series if Durant is their clear number one.

Spurs have missed so many open looks in this fourth quarter. Don't expect that to happen in San Antonio.

Might be Durant's year to win a championship if this game carries him to play like this the rest of the playoffs.

That last Westbrook shot kinda epitomized the 4th quarter. Go back to San Antonio and take care of it Spurs

Durant is so much fun to watch. I hope they win this one.
I guess you don't want to watch him on the celtics.
Why get yourself worked up over something he might have already decided on.
Not getting worked up, but no reason to want him to succeed in these playoffs when it could significantly impact his decision on whether or not to leave OKC.

Spurs will take it in 6 back in OKC.

If you're thinking like that then you are worrying about whether he wins or loses.

Oh my did OKC just turned on the switch?

Looking like 2012 again. If OKC wins Game 5, then this series is as good as over with OKC advancing to the West finals.

Exactly, so if you're a boston fan, and want him to come to boston, why would you want him to have more success if OKC?? :o

Because I think it's pathetic to wish that someone loses so you can get him on your team.

The fact that Durant has to wonder if Westbrook is staying or going will have a lot more weight then OKC beating the Spurs or not. Durant might end up by himself in OKC and he might not want to sign and take Russ's word that he will follow.

Also, me worrying if Durant wins or loses does not help align the planets so Durant loses. It has no bearing.

I'll just enjoy these games and if Durant balls his way to a championship, so be it.
