    Hmmm...then I take back what I said. Meloing requires shooting in the 30-39% range with 2 or fewer assists.

      Im sorry man, but after watching Chicago and Boston this year, there is no way this team should fall apart like this because of Westbrook.

      My man Brooks just relys and coaches via talent only. He doesn't develop other players and his offense is so predictable that KD is in a no win situation.

      Why have Fisher running off a curl opposite of Durant and the PG doesn't even look his way on purpose? Memphis players were doubling ball denial on KD at the top of the key every single time.

        That's like...a month worth of assists for Melo.

          I disagree. This happened in a middle of a "Playoff Series" He's kind of adjusting on the fly. He can't win here.

          Losing someone in the Regular season, you have time to adust to it.

            What adjusting? He hasn't made any adjustments that's the problem.

            There is no way his team should be looking like dog crap right now, even without WestBrook. Looks like everybody has disappeared except KD who is being doubled and tripled because they know Brooks wont do anything else.

                So let's rewind back time to the end of this season when the Rockets and Lakers were fighting for Playoff positioning. The Rockets actually collapsed and their lost to the Lakers dropped them to the 8th seed and the Lakers 7th. The Lakers had no business being a 7th seed and got raped by the Spurs big time. Because the Rockets fell to 8th, they tried to match up their lineups with the Thunder. They put Patrick Beverly to guard Russell Westbrook and due to a little freak accident that shouldn't have happened to Westbrook, it looks like the Thunder's Playoff push is going to end this week. Since Westbrook's injury, the Thunder are a team searching for it's identity. They don't seem to know how to operate in crunch time. Durant gets the ball and he should. But it makes things too predictable so the defense doubles and even triple team Durant leading to missed shots or turnovers. I don't like this at all. I don't see anyway that the Thunder can come back and win this series. Even if they win Game 5, it's going to be over in Game 6. That nice looking 60-22 regular season goes to waste and you can pinpoint this timeline happening from Westbrook's injury or the Rockets fall to 8th seed.

                      OKC's Defense was horrible down the stretch.

                      Glad to see Ibaka finally show up and be a factor out there though.

                          Should be a really good one!

                          Also have to big up Tony Allen and Tyshaun Prince. They played great defense vs Durant. They didn't let Durant catch the ball in edit
