Russ And KD Are Running Things Now
Yes, for sure, the Oklahoma City Thunder made tactical adjustments that helped them in Game 3. They went small early, with Andre Roberson at power forward, rather than going huge, as they had in the first two games; they used Roberson as a screener instead of parking him in the corner where the Warr...
Goddamn, The Warriors Got Mollywhopped Last Night
Before last night, the Warriors’ 12 losses this season could mostly be put into one of three buckets: somebody was injured, somebody on the opposing team went supernova, or the Warriors played like dogshit. It isn’t a slight, nor inaccurate, to say that the Warriors—who finished the regular season w...
Draymond Green Might Be Screwed
You could look at the Oklahoma City Thunder’s destruction of the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals as a turning point in the series—KD and Russ are hot! The role players are contributing! Serge Ibaka may not suck anymore!—but what may very well end up deciding who adva...

The Western Conference Finals Will Be Good As Hell When Kevin Durant Shows Up
With around seven minutes left in the third quarter of last night’s game, Steph Curry lost Serge Ibaka around a down-screen and hit a wide-open three to push the Warriors’ lead up to ten points. Oklahoma City mostly had managed to prevent Curry from getting that clean a look at the basket in the gam...

Steph Curry Will Extinguish You Before You Even Realize It
A few times in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors would make spurts of six or eight points, but never achieve sufficient escape velocity to get out of OKC’s orbit. This is rare, and they let the Thunder wander back into the game, which they eventually won. Not so much tonight. The...
Just How In The World Did Andre Iguodala Hit This Layup?
Andre Iguodala is primarily a defender and a passer for the Golden State Warriors. He won the Finals MVP for a series in which he shot 10-for-28 37-for-71 after all. But this circus layup, my lord. Get a load of this puppy. The whole play was wild and weird, but the finish (which Shaq correctly call...
Draymond Green Knees Steven Adams In The Dick And Balls
Draymond Green came up yapping at Steven Adams after the first play of the game, and halfway through the second quarter, the two clashed again, and Draymond accidentally (probably) kneed Steven in the Adamses while going up for a layup....

Refs Missed Russell Westbrook's Travel At The End Of Game 1
Did Russell Westbrook travel in the waning seconds of last night’s Thunder Game 1 win? Yeah, totally. Does that ever get called, let alone late in a playoff game? Ehhh....
The Thunder Aren’t Scared Of The Warriors
As Steph Curry hit a buzzer-beater to end the first half and cap off a run by Golden State’s fabled smallball lineup of death, it felt like the Warriors were bound to keep burning the Thunder and run away with Game 1, much like the Spurs did to them to open that series. When Curry hit two improbable...
Kevin Durant Is Still The Shit
Since Steph Curry ate the NBA whole and arose as the preeminent superstar in the NBA last year, the luster on Kevin Durant has faded a little bit. The Thunder have stagnated since they made the Finals in 2012, and Durant and Russell Westbrook have only made incremental progress in learning how to en...

A Russell Westbrook Rebound Is An Event
If you watch enough sports, you learn to anticipate when something cool is about to happen. You know what’s coming after Steph Curry spins his defender with a bouncing crossover beyond the three-point line, or when Adrian Peterson gets a safety one-on-one in the open field, or when Chris Sale works ...
Somehow, The Thunder Are A Game Away From Bouncing The Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs had a historically great regular season, whipped the life out of the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, but somehow they’re just one game from elimination after the Thunder beat them 95-91 thanks to a rugged performance from Russell Westbrook ...
The Thunder Need Kevin Durant To Hulk Out
The story of yesterday’s Game 4 between the Spurs and Thunder is obviously Kevin Durant, who led the Thunder to victory with 41 points and outscored San Antonio 17-16 in the fourth quarter. But just as important as all the shots Durant made were all the shots Russell Westbrook didn’t take....
