Westbrook is the perfect complement to Kevin Durant’s game. He is tough as nails and is fast as lightning. Westbrook ignited the Thunder’s fastbreak by grabbing 8 rebounds by himself. The Thunder are faster than the Lakeshow and the Lakers are one of the leagues top 5 teams. I’m not gonna say the Lakers are in trouble yet, but they are now immersed into a three(3) game series and if they get caught slipping their defeat would be epic.
The key to the Thunder’s victory is that their All-Star doesn’t have to dominate the ball for them to win. The Lakers were blown away with Durant scoring only 22pts on ONLY 12 shots. This isn’t a case of Durant and Westbrook making their teammates play better, but their teammates are extra motivated to bring their intensity up to the level of their superstars. The Lakeshow better find some motivation themselves or they will be on vacation faster than lightning.
DURANTULA!
You doing turlet-vision again for these playoffs?
The ref’s won that game my friends.
The ref’s.
Frank-
Definitely the oddest officiating I’ve seen in a game, let alone playoff game, in as long as I can remember.
It kind of lent credibility to Phil’s remarks about how the officials treat Durant. Just a little bit.
