Another brutal night for Martin and for Scott Brooks too. Brooks simplisitic offense is being exposed now that Westbrook is gone. Pick and roll for Westbrook, isolation for Durant. That's been the Thunder offense all year, now it's down to just give the ball and Durant and watch him work.

LeBron has to be enjoying this series as much as anyone.
 
Hopefully all the people who said OKC would be better off without Westbrook will shut up now. OKC was a better team this year than last year, unfortunately we will not get to see what they could have done against the Heat. It's disappointing because I think they had a decent chance of knocking them off.

Disagree, maybe in the regular season, but there's no way trading Harden for Martin was an upgrade for the Thunder. Those open jump shots that players get in the regular season tend to dry up in the postseason and you need guys who can get to the hoop and get to the foul line. Harden can do that, Martin can't. OKC had a good shot of getting back to the finals, but Miami would have rolled them again.
 
It is the tasty time for NBA playoffs....teams know each other,dislike each other,and are playing to stave off elimination.

Knicks are starting to choke...if the Celts push them to game 7...omg...MSG will be full of tight sphincters.
Bulls are in some trouble tonite as Hinrich and Taj Gibson are hurt,and Deng is sick..all three are game time decisions. If the Bulls lose tonite...Nets are in charge.

Rockets are rolling now. Omer Asik of the Rockets is making the Bulls look stupid for keeping Taj Gibson over him. Omer is a defensive stud,and rebounding machine. Go Rockets.

Golden St needs tonite game vs the Nuggets...c'mon Warriors.
 
Not a gambler but like the nets to win tonight. Without heinrich the bulls dont have anyone to guard williams. Bulls favored by 1, i see nets by double digits.
 
Nuggets have to steal a W @ GS tonight. Would love to see it happen (a game 7 back at the Pepsi Center I think could go either way), but I don't think it will. GS arena is almost like a college atmosphere & Denver has not looked comfortable.

Even sans Gallinari, this has been a disappointing series for the Nuggets - have looked like a deer caught in the headlight at times. You have to be excited if you are a GS fan, though - seem to have a solid foundation to build on.

There were some who considered the Nuggets the dark horse to come out of the west. John Lithgow is a terrific coach, but he has been bounced out in the 1st rd. 10 out of the last 11 times his teams have made the playoffs.

With Gallinari, I could have seen the Nuggets as a darkhorse. Without Gallinari? I was hoping to get out of the first round (and I thought they would, but I was wrong!).

I don't know what it is with Karl/Lithgow. He has a very good regular season record, but just can't seem to get it done in the playoffs. Is it play style? Does the up-tempo style wear guys out by the time playoffs roll around, or what? Really dunno.
 
The depleted Bulls fall by 3 to the Nets and so the gambler covered his bet.
It is so sad to see this Bulls team go down to a front-running group like the Nets.
Sounds like Luol Deng is very doubtful for tomorrow's game.
Hinrich might go.
Gibson and Robinson are flu-ridden but will try.
Noah's plantar facititis is slightly better and he will try to go.
DRose will not go.

This is like the Heat taking the floor for a game 7 vs a healthy Bulls without Lebron,DWade,Chalmers,and Battier.....I like the Bulls in that situation.

Thibs will figure something out,but if they do not have enough to field a team,it will be tough,even against the paperchamp Nets.
