OKC is playing like the Knicks tonight so far. Lin out again. Beverly looks like a keeper.

What if teams started guarding their own players going up the court?

Seriously why not put 3 players around Asik especially since you have the lead?

These have to be the chippiest playoff games I can remember! None of these teams like each other! People complained that competition was dead cause the players hang with each other off the court! Not this year. This has been the best first round in a long time.

Rockets without Lin > OKC without Westbrook.

Asik stepped up to the line and got it done. In a way the "Hack" backfired because Asik found a rhythm at the foul line.

Westbrook is a very big part of OKC. Numbers don't lie. OKC is missing 23.2 points 7.4 ast 1.8 stls while Houston is missing 13.4 pts 6.1 asts and 1.6 stls. It is harder for them replace those numbers. He is also a very big part of team dynamics while Lin a lot of times is relegated to spot up shooter where Garcia is now thriving.

Westbrook loss is huge. 2nd best player on the NBA's second best team. Lin is a role player and when healthy is missed, but not a big drop off when beverly is in. One might argue in fact it could be a step up.

The series can change in a moment.

Also, its not easy for OKC to go hard on Harden because of the love.

Durant came undone in the last few minutes. It happens. Melo and JR came undone.

Its who can recover.

3-2 series who survives? Nets? Rockets? Knuggicks? Celtics? odds should dictate one of them will, right?

Nets are in trouble.
Rockets have a punchers chance. Kevin Martin is a big disappointment for OKC. They need Sefalosha to step up big time. Garcia space guarding Durant has been the difference. Durant spends so much energy just to get the ball. Plus they have him playing PG. He is spent by the time 4th quarter rolls.
Nuggets/GSW is a big tossup for me. The key to that series will be Bogut.
I think Knicks will win the series. Celtics just does not have the firepower anymore.

So much for your myth of "McHale is such bad coach"....This is what happens when you tie your hitch to 1 player and in your case Lin. Lin better come back re-invented otherwise he's going to go from starter to backup.

But people said Westbrook was a inefficient ball hog who takes away from Durant.

Well Durant is playing well(50%fg 35/7/7/1/1 with exception to 3pt%) but the supporting cast has dropped off tremendously

They should have kept Harden instead of Westbrook but I don't think anyone said that giving Westbrook's minutes to Reggie Jackson and Derek Fisher would help the team.

That is a good point. I'm impressed with Durant's play too.
