Man I dozed off earlier. Just watched the Grizz game highlights. In-freaking-credible game. This has to be a record for overtime games. Wow.

First time ever 4 games in a row OT. This series is all time great. I can't wait for the next game, though all my hair is falling out at this point. Lol

Just wondering if the first round results would impact votes.

I doubt it, in fairness to KD his first round opponent is about 20 times better than LBJs. He would have probably dropped 40 once or twice against the Bobcats. The Grizz are a top 7 team while Charlotte is probably about 17th or 18th.

You think the Pacers will put up a fight down 3-2 or is that one over?

I hope so, but who knows. This whole season for them has been about getting another shot at the Heat. The Pacers will get broken up after this year and it's likely the Heat as they are currently constituted will be too. Maybe actually facing an elimination game and realizing that they're truly on the brink of blowing their last shot at Miami before they even actually even get to face them will make something click and they'll get it together. On the other hand, it's just as likely they've already thrown in the towel and are going to lay down like dogs.

Evidently it's bigger than I thought. Everybody asking for Brooks to be canned.

Coaches just become scapegoats at this point. Is he the reason Durant and Westbrook are shooting 40% and 34%, respectively? The fans have put blame on Harden and Ibaka in the past, but I don't think they'll ever turn on Durant or Russ. The fans want blood and you can't fire the players. Brooks is out for sure if they lose this series.

I've pointed fingers at everyone at some point except Thabo and Adams. Lol Brooks has to go, his offense is, Russ and KD please save my job. I never have faith in a play late, cause hr can't draw up a play. He's hardly a scapegoat, he's an average coach, coaching a team with skills above his coaching ability. Russ and KD are shooting terrible, what has he done to get them better looks? Nothing, it's the same old clear and go. Ibaka and KD are excellent at the pick n roll, how many times have we seen that this series?

I guess I differ in that I think that the coaching at this level matters little. Few guys can make a real difference. It's all about the players. Brooks won a lot of games with his offense, however simplistic it is. Throwing it out because his shooters have struggled to hit isn't necessarily the right answer. I do like the pick n roll, though.

And he should be, this team's offense is playground basketball at it's finest. He's won games because OKC can out talent most teams, plain and simple. Maybe he's to passive to tell KD and Russ what to do. Idk and idc, this team is what it is with him, time to move on.

We could coach this team to 50 wins. When they are struggling he does nothing to get them easier shots. He just hopes they start making them. Do you think that last play was a good call? A 30 foot jumper down 1? Cause thats always the play call. Are you ok with his obsession with Perk? Adams should have been starting mid-season. But he's said, Perk is our guy and will be starting. Why? Just dumb loyalty? Some times teams top out with a coach and begin to tune him out, I think this is one of those times. Maybe a new voice can fix that, it couldn't hurt.

Ftr i still think they win the series. And I'll still think he needs to be fired, I've been saying it for a year.

Sorry Huff, it's just frustrating watch the same horrible late game play calling. Russ needs to shoot less, KD needs to be less passive and man the **** up. Maybe a new coach can get this through to them, it's obvious at this point Brooks can't.

I'm with you in your criticism of his personnel decisions which I think are the unforgivable mistakes. Adams and Lamb should be playing more.
