Am I wrong or are Thunder just Hero Ball

They put up a showing early, go for the throat, but then slowly let go and let the other team just catch them with a few runs and a L taking place

 

[Chase17]

The Gibson defense

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Bed Stevens is enough of a convincing factor for Hayward.

Why? Quin has been his coach longer than Stevens was, and that was a decade ago.

 

[finowns]

This announcer just said '[Hayward] This kid just became a Man!'

They have to stop saying 'grown man' all the time.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

fucken Harden... dammit Oladipo, you should know better.

 

[Hyperactivity]

GIBSON IS SITTING YES

 

[blackaroni]

My heart

 

[overcast]

Harden was brilliant on the that 3.. then dumb on the next drive. Gotta box out Steven Adams man.

 

[Chase17]

What a time for his first 3 point attempt lol

 

[KingKong]

Now this is a playoff game

That's the catchphrase

Wait till the "Momma there goes that..."

 

[friskykillface]

Believe in Lou

 

[Surfinn]

Now this is a playoff game

Finally

That's the catchphrase

Wait till the "Momma there goes that..."

Where did this one come from anyways

 

[overcast]

You gotta get a better shot than that.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol Harden.

Line straight up choked his boys

*drop kicks Line*

 

[friskykillface]

lol dumb
Go for the tie

Why a long 3

 

[blackaroni]

FUCK

 

[GraveRobberX]

Down by 2, go for 3, of course

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Meanwhile Westbrook doing his best LeBron impersonation at the Line

 

[ViciousDS]

still can go to OT!

 

[KingBroly]

So if OKC misses a free throw, do they intentionally foul again if they're up 2?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So if OKC misses a free throw, do they intentionally foul again if they're up 2?

No way

 

[friskykillface]

WHY GO FOR 3

 

[overcast]

Harden needs to fucking drive there Jesus

 

[MetalFearSolid]

The fuck?!

 

[KingBroly]

Harden shouldn't have forced that

 

[Elfforkusu]

Harden....

 

[perfectchaos007]

Damnit

 

[metalslimer]

Westbrook almost choked that

Harden was dumb as hell though

 

[XiaNaphryz]

lol Rockets

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol Rockets, OKC was handing you the game

 

[ViciousDS]

WHY


WHY HARDEN WTF

 

[Hyperactivity]

Harden took two bad 3s.

 

[overcast]

Decent cut to the rim available too. Ah, fuck it. Gotta grab the next one.

Need to knock down some threes.

 

[Codeblue]

Harden needs to fucking drive there Jesus

Westbrook move if I ever saw one.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

What a fucking retarded 3

Can't take either of these idiots seriously sometimes

 

[Chase17]

Guess he didn't want OT lol

 

[K.Sabot]

"What's going through your mind right now?"

Westbrook: "I gotta make free throws."

 

[my name is ed]

might be the worst possession Ive seen from Harden at the end of a game. he could have easily tied the game if he drove imo

 

[Hyperactivity]

That 3 wasn't too bad, it looked like it might go in, and Harden had 5 fouls.

It's more that there was 0 way were getting that rebound there, so no 2nd chances

 

[J2 Cool]

Harden didn't want the pressure. Just wanted to toss it up and live with the result. He nearly threw the ball away, then nearly traveled and fell earlier. Can't blame him

Some real mvp failures on westbrook, harden to close.

 

[ViciousDS]

Guess he didn't want OT lol

thing is too.............they looked like lazy toss ups, like he wasn't even bothered by it


plus 5 fouls means OT would have been rough

 

[RedEther]

Rockets could have tied the game twice but instead throws up two threes lol

 

[friskykillface]

Could've had an and 1 too cause Roberson was probably gonna foul

 

[random25]

YNB finally wins one.

Why? Quin has been his coach longer than Stevens was, and that was a decade ago.

I'm just saying having Stevens in there is a much larger factor than whatever is going on with the Celtics, in case he ever considers going there.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Yeah, no, I understand going for the 3, OT wouldn't go our way. Beverley had fouled out, Harden had 5 fouls, Ryan Anderson 4. Only Oladipo, with 4 fouls, was in foul trouble for the Thunder.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Those threes weren't bad. They just didn't go in. The shots looked good, and Harden was 3rd this season in 3FGM.

 

[Mory Dunz]

let's go Utah

 

[Caddywompus]

Yeah it's unlikely he'll get a call driving into 3 white jerseys unless someone hacks him but an off balance 3 with a guy in your face wasn't a better option.
