I don't know which was more painful to watch - the third quarter or every second of Derek Fisher's court time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Shawn Marion did say that KD would never make that shot on him again.
KD gave the Mavs 52 reasons to hate him.
I think so far this season, this was the hardest Thunder game to watch.
The fact that I watched it via YES Network (The Nets Home Network, I'm from New Jersey) also may have made it worse.
Any discernible reason why Russell Westbrook's shooting has been so bad this season?
@MisterJohnsonOKC Looks like he made a strong bid for LVP this season.
@RRRWHATEVER There would be an article on ESPN everyday talking about how KD, Westbrook, and Ibaka can't play together.
@RRRWHATEVER This comment was as un-politically correct as it was hilarious.
@Old Man Game @OBoy Jones III I guess I don't watch enough NBA TV. And that one almost had me 6 feet under in laughter
@OBoy Jones III @Old Man Game Are there any more JaVale videos from this season? I watched all the ones from last season and before.
On Westbrooks Shot Selection -> I get the sense that Russell Westbrook thinks a lot more about the desired end result - a bucket - instead of contemplating the best possible path to reach the end result. This results in well... you all know.
@StretchNeuron @dream catcher I don't know. I think it'll be less consistently.
@StretchNeuron @dream catcher It's in Russell Westbrook's nature to make every few shots a heat check - even when he's lukewarm to cold.
@loplopol I understood it. Now that I think it, I know his tunnel vision has led to a turnover or two because he was trying to make the pass when the shot was right there.
@OBoy Jones III If this is true, then I have greatly overestimated Kobe's ability to play mind games.
@loplopol There's something about his body language that just makes it very clear that he's not driving to score. It's almost annoying because I have 3-4 moments running through my head when he he had a good shot but he was pressing so hard to create that he passed them up.
@dream catcher Yeah, but part of what makes his pull up so hard to make is also what makes it so hard to guard - he has a lot of speed before he decides to pull up. I don't think he'll ever clock in a spectacular % from any mid range spot on the court for this very reason.
Anybody else notice the sort of tunnel vision Kevin Durant gets whenever he's looking to get an assist?
