"Perkins trying to do a little too much." Yes that was just said on the air.

These last two halves by Durant are some of the worst basketball he's played in years 
Marc Gasol looked like the DPotY in that half and the league won't be nearly as fun when Perkins is out of it next year.

Don't worry OKC, it will be a relief to be out of that misery.

I completely blame Scott. I just don't see them doing anything about it unless KD were to come out after losing this series and throw him under the bus (Which he will not do) Look what it did for MJ and Magic. Please KD, call for his head. We need it! and amnesty Perk for fucks sake. Hell, I think Shaq could give us more at this point then Perk is at this point of his career

Perkins is about to be listed on craigslist, 'Slightly used 'defensive' center, seems older than actual age. Will accept Jeff Green OBO'
At least KD doesn't have to be 2nd place this time.
Amnesty Perkins, fire Brooks and you'll still have a chance next season.

Does Tony Allen resign with Memphis thus summer? If so what contract?

I guess we're technically 7th or so?
I mean Brooks sucks and everything but it's hardly his fault that Ibaka has been miserable and there's something wrong with your roster when Fisher ends up being the second best player for most of the series
if Westbrook wasn't hurt they would have walked to the Finals again

He's going to his left IDIOTS!
And been beaten in the Finals, with ease.
The moment Brooks could no longer rely on iso's, his team was done. He needs to know that simply saying "play harder" isn't coaching.

But it is his fault that Ibaka is out on the perimeter instead of being in the post. It's his "non" game plan where they are slowly walking the ball up the court and going 1 on 5 with KD instead of running like against Houston. This team ran all season and Reggie is capable of that and could get Serge going in transition versus hanging out behind the ark. Brooks hasn't shown an offensive set in 3 seasons, he has been carried by having two of the top 10 players on his team to make up for his shortcomings. If that was a SVG, JVG, or Jerry Sloan behind the bench even without YNB they'd be in a position to win this series. I'm not a coach but could see in the last few games that KD is gassed. How dumb do you have to be to run your star down to the point where he can't get a solid shot off?
Truth
doesnt matter how far you get really if you dont have chance at all of winning

Sadly, I agree at this point. We're not going to beat this team without Westbrook, and I don't want to see KD get hurt logging 45-48 minutes a game. Shut it down, get healthy, and comes back better next year.

Didn't see the game but I heard Wade became Wade at the end. Nice to hear. Bursts of Wade is all we really need.

Well I want to be 5 inches taller and a significantly bigger bank account, but those aren't things I get just by wanting them.
Get your ass in the post and grab some rebounds. If we were so desperate for 3 point shooters we could have just kept Harden and traded him after the season. Ibaka is costing enough money that he needs to do what the team needs and not what he wants.

I hate Memphis as much as I do Miami
but OKC isn't done yet
They can still take this to 7
in fact..I NEED them to take it to 7 for the Spurs to get a couple of days off.
WCF might start Sunday :x
Ibaka has been missing layups all series and he's the one not going into the post. Reggie is nowhere close to Westbrook so they can't run. Yeah Durant is being worn down but he kind of has to play this much. And not to mention that all the games have been really close and it could have easily been 2-2 right now with OKC being very outmatched in player skill

LOL. As much as I'd like to see us push this a few more games, it isn't going to happen. KD hasn't had any time off the court yet this game so I figure Brooks will run him to actual death. Now I have to become a Spurs fan because I HATE Miami.

Ibaka's hands and touch around the rim are terrible and he has no post moves and he's a good shooter though.

That is the frustrating part about being an OKC fan. Any other coach would have them in better situations in these games. There is no consolation prize for losing every game by 3, you know they will double/triple KD at the end of the game so draw up a play for KMart or anything other then dribble into the triple team and try to shoot over the top.
