Unreal.  Has to be in the running for most underrated player in the league.  Going absolutely bonkers. 

[Machinator 32103]

Wow, that looked like a charge against Aminu but instead it's Paul George's fourth foul.

[hundredTT 578]

Yea, let's keep Lillard out because that's working. Close this out!

[Machinator 32103]

Well, this game took a turn, didn't it?

[Michael Knight 13239]

Wow

[Topper13 3650]

Hell of a shot to win the series.

[Machinator 32103]

Dame knows how to close out series.

Jesus. 

[WJC88 97]

What a shot!

[NowThis 931]

can't spell choke without OKC 

[Patrick Bateman 3982]

I mean, that's a cool ending and bonkers to win the game, but it's a fucking terrible shot and offense.  A contested 40 foot shot because you're dribbling the clock out is dumb.  That's pretty much a prayer and probably less than 20% average FG% from there.  All of that typed, heck of a shot.  lol.

And that's the modern NBA for you. Elite players make terrible shots look good.

[Jhawk 1075]

2 more years with PG13. You keeping Donovan or dumping him? If the thunder are trying to get better the best way to do it is move on to the next coach.  No real way to get better next year. 

[NowThis 931]

Kenny Smith with the old lady glasses. 

[Patrick Bateman 3982]

This sums up OKC and the Thunder with Russ.

Tonight, with their back against the wall, they get this:

PG:  14-20 from the field

Adams:  5-8 

J Grant:  7-8 (fire)

Schroeder 7-10 

Those are the next 4 guys on the Thunder and they shot 71% from the field tonight for 79 points.  The rest of the Thunder were 8-16 from BYA.  

Westbrook was 11-31 FGA.  3-11 3PT.  But he got that triple double tho.... and he will have a cavalcade of defenders tomorrow.  I don't doubt his desire.... I doubt his self awareness and ability to understand the game.

 

[Catdaddyhorn 3468]

Knowing how much he dislikes Westbrook the wave good bye was just perfect. 

[NowThis 931]

RW has always been a 2.  They should've have kept Reggie Jackson edit bitches.  as a true point or now have someone conservative run the show.  An Andre Miller in his mid career would have been perfect.

Westbrook was awful down the stretch as usual but let's not forget Paul George bricking two free throws with just over two minutes left in the game.

Related to Boom Boom Washington?

Pretty sure you mean Reggie Jackson and that's pretty much who Schroeder is.  Jackson is really a combo guard too.

 

[maninblack 7975]

Russ got what he cared about with his triple double. 

Next question

[maninblack 7975]

 

[LonghornJudas 1138]

Good. Don’t have to hear about Westbrook running his mouth for the next few months. Fuck him and fuck the Thunder.

He's right. It was a bad shot.

But it's Damian Lillard.  Outside of the ridiculousness if that very specific scenario, he's the 2nd best long distance shooter after Curry.  There's some shot chart of percentages by distance, and he's actually better at 28ft shots than he is at 24,25,26

 

Dudes a monster

Reggie Jackson is in no way a true PG.   He is a very shitty version of RW.

I've never liked that "play" just dribbling out the clock and shooting in these situations.   Dame hit a fucking incredible shot but these situations are very low percentage.  With that kind of time on the clock why not run a play?    I guees since it was a tie game and they were at home they were good make or miss but as a coach you are not putting your team in the best position to win.   

 

Then again, Dame is Dame.  Fucking incredible shot in a huge situation.

So were his free throws. Just have to live with it


Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, Paul. You should try it.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8985]

That should be his profile pic on social media. Then respond to everything Westbrook and Shroeder post. Maybe a watch emoji. He can capitalize big time with this.

Yep, that is an incredible pic.   Should go down amongst the best sports pics in history.   Adidas should be jumping on this big time too.

[Chad 1728]

The 25 million dollar man got worked by Kanter with a bad shoulder. What a joke. Adams is garbage and I'm glad the Thunder are stuck with that albatross of a contract. Adams never became an All-star, earned a spot on the All-nba team or even found his way onto the all-defensive team. The goof legitimately just hangs around the paint and dunks the ball when he's unchecked.

[immortal13 4059]

So you don't think he's good?
