loving the thunder... they are such a well built, well run, well structured team and are now lifting their defensive intensity as well which was their only major weakness but now makes them very very tough to play against in a series.... they will go far, make no mistake
Dang.... Nugs deserved that win. Didn't like how we played at all..... also kinda strange we didn't call a timeout for that possession where Westbrook airballed the three. Oh well.....
I had basically given up on our chance on winning that game when there was like 3+ mins to go & we were down 9....... then Westbrook with the big three started things off, Durant started to take over... Harden ties it up with the massive 3 & KD finishes it. I was getting pissed with Durant after his hot start & then going really cold continuously missing three's, but MAN did he more than make up for it..... that was pure domination by KD at the end there.... he put on a bloody show & finished it off with that key rejection!!
Also props to Ibaka with his 9 blocks (one off tieing an NBA playoffs record)!!
Durant showed the heart and determination of a champion in that game. It wasn't working for him most of the game but with the game on the line stepped up and finished them off. It brought back some MJ memories watching it all unfold.
The series may show a 4-1 win, but it was far from easy... Denver played us VERY tough in all but one of the games. Certainly wasn't a walk in the park that's for sure.
