#8 Rockets vs. #1 Thunder

Fouling Asik was a mistake. You gotta see if a team comprised of players that have never closed anything out can actually do it.

Especially when they let it slip away twice already and were an Ibaka putback away from a third

This is why my thoughts on the 2 are changing. The finals started pushing me in that direction.

Really bad sign when your franchise player is standing 30 feet out in a close out game.

Breen, Van Gundy and Jackson were awesome together, my favorite guys to hear call games. They played off of each other perfectly.

Exactly. I just don't understand it.

Same here, i said that in a thread about commentators in the Sports Forum

I agree 100%.

Hubie Brown and Mike Tirico all day.

For some reason, OKC is scared of Houston now

Hubie Brown and Mike Tirico all day.

I like them too

 

[GahLee]

I think we will see him step up. He's too good.

They are alright, not much of a Hubie fan. I like Reggie alright.

I like Reggie alot

He has to or he will start slipping in other people eyes too.

Houston is playing like a team that has nothing to lose.

I like Reggie alot

He's great on Open Court, they all are except Steve Smith he's just kinda there.

 

[GahLee]

He has to or he will start slipping in other people eyes too.

This is where he's supposed to take over. Every superstar is held to that standard in the playoffs. We seen it a few years ago when LeBron faded in the Finals.

You mean, media will treat him like they did Lebron in the 2011 finals when they lost to Dallas?

I love Hubie. I think that he breaks down the game better than anyone.

Agree, hes so old that hes seen everything

Not to that level because LeBron carried a cross that perhaps no other athlete has ever had to carry. Winning the title last year took that off him.

If Durant continues to play the way he did in the fourth, he'll get his share of criticism.

He has tried this new tough KD image, and babbled about being tired of being number 2. Well this is his time to show the world.

 

[GahLee]

He's giving lessons every game. I've actually learned a lot from his commentary.

 

[BadJerry20]

Not to that extent, LBJ totally vanished. KD is still playing well, but he has to get them past Houston or we will hear heavy criticism. And it will be warranted.

I agree, my post was mostly sarcasm, nobody will get killed like LeBron. If he was in Rose's position right now, there would be so much hate

Agreed, sometimes he turns a little John Madden and talks too much. Definitely the best basketball mind calling games though.
