McClaw tonight: 11 pts, 5 rebs, 5 asts, 3 stls, 1 blk

Nurkic should not have been playing

I saw a little bit and he seemed to be moving gingerly...

it was extremely dumb to play him and he shouldn't have been out there

_a good argument for kawhi as MVP is that the grizz have 2 of the 3 best players in this series and are considered massive underdogs_

I found their success all season to be amazing. It's not quite at the level of boobie Gibson era lebron supporting casts but it's in that bottom tier of 60ish win teams for sure

i agree totally. the spurs roster is almost shocking in places. i was a kawhi skeptic back in the day but nothing about the 16-17 spurs says elite team to me except him.

LMA is trash glad bison finally seeing it

this kerr thing sounds not good :(

yeah it was hard to watch. apprently post game he said it felt worse and worse as the game went on.

man, john wall has been pretty great this series. it's a shame chris paul, one of the best playoff players of all time, is outshining him with his superior play because otherwise he'd be getting some more recognition :/

(that behind the back dunk was legit one of the sickest things i've ever seen tbf)

i've mentioned it elsewhere but i've had a variety of the spinal leak that kerr was suffering from prior (and appears to be being laid low with now) and that shit is relentlessly excruciating. hope he gets past it.

I agree Nurkic should not have been played, but Javale would not be +51 for the series if the blazers had a healthy Nurkic available for 35 min/game.

oh, and poor Evan Turner still hasn't discovered what it is that a) would help and b) he has the talent to do. last night he repeatedly dribbled into the key, got swarmed, couldn't pass the ball or get an open shot, and put up an awkward fall-away that was blocked or else he just turned the ball over.

this is one of those good bad games

Has there ever been another wing player who shot free throws as badly as Roberson?

i love when a player is so bad that the tv guys feel bad so they compliment him

his ft form is like bro first of all try not shooting a rainbow lol

i want okc to win this game the series shd go 7

The refs are losing their minds a little

bruce bowen was weirdly terrible at FTs

Yeah good call

it's always a little weird when guys are good at one and not the other (shooting 3s vs FTs). andre miller was a great free throw shooter and arguably the worst 3 point shooter ever

Seeing people on twitter acting like Roberson hasn't been awesome this series smh

lol russ own goal

Bowen's three point shooting was kind of a science experiment, not something he was naturally good at

yeah he just found his spot and did the same thing everytime, but thats what ft shooting is

being good at ft shooting and bad at 3s is understandable but the flip is insane

Lots of guys who can't hit 3s have a weirdly restricted shooting form that doesn't allow for range, I think that was the deal with Andre. Lots of guys also shoot too flat (kobe).

Free throw shooting is also really really mental/yips susceptible. E.g. Dwight shooting 80% in practice

Oh my god what a fiasco

ya shooting 3s requires power that certain forms wont allow, tho weve prob seen the last of that as ever kid grown up shooting the hs three when theyre 8 years old and things of that nature

Completely absurd sequence

lmao thunder r bad

Omfg what

Is this an AAU game

ahhh russ almost had it

I want to give russ $20m in exchange for him never shooting another 3

watching the thunder try to do anything is so painful

how has their offense been a completely monstrous zilch through two coaching admins

its russ

we thought it was brooks but, its russ

the wiz O is good

yup

sorry, glasses

watching the rest of their players be terrified to do anything other than get the ball back to russ for the last 5 minutes of the game is not a great sign
