Actually, think it hit them then us. His ass then our leg

We may end up winning one of the ugliest playoff games in the current era of offensive basketball, but this should have been so much easier. We've had so many long scoring droughts for OKC where we just turned it over, missed free throws and wide open shots and missed the chance to put the game emotionally out of reach for them.

---

This game has everything from the 90's except Patrick Ewing backing someone down for 15 seconds and bricking a fadeaway.

---

At least the nature of basketball back then meant the 91-87 games were due to missing contested shots all night. Dallas has missed more wide open jumpers and floaters from 15 feet and in than they have the entire postseason combined. I bet the number is at least 7.

This is so much more frustrating because the Thunder actually are just being stifled. They're giving us wide open corner threes and running jumpers and we're missing. And half the t turnovers are unforced.

We're begging them to get back into it. I don't get it

They're the #1 seed for a reason. Did you think this was going to be easy?

---

No, but they're not beating us, not close. We're beating ourselves. Cliche, but this is so bad. I think we pull it out, but damn this game could've been over long ago

This is self inflicted. The nature of the missed shots in totality is wildly different. And OKC is hitting their FTs, we aren't.

You're not giving enough credit to the defensive effort on both sides (Luka included).

Let's get a strong 2-3 min out of this timeout. Have the answers Luka/Kyrie

fade away.

Nah, teams just shot like crap in the 90's. Rockets actually played offense in '95. Would have been fun to see them play CHI.

Yep. We still haven't had a game where we've shot well from 2. OKC lucky that this game and last game weren't runaways.

What an absurd foul call on Kyrie

Wtf was that call in this game. Wow

No chet= attack rim

Gafford was hammered on that make

Shot click should not have gone to 14 because they rebounded the ball and then we tied them up. Refs are so bad

Can someone at least contact SGA? Feels like dude doesn't have a single bruise this series.

If Jones Jr could make a three it would be nice

Jones shooting a 3 pointer is what OKC dreams about.

Kyrie been a little too passive for my liking
Getting jones a shot there is not ideal

This is the type of statistical outlier loss that teams can't recover from. These series are too hard to win to give away games that the numbers say you should win every single time.

Again, I would venture to say no team has won a road playoff with the aggregate numbers the Thunder have tonight in YEARS.

It's not like the Mavericks to choke down the stretch but they are choking this one away

Why does Kidd have Hardaway jr in

Can't make a shot

**** me

Wow Tim

Gotta do that to counteract defensive mismatch

Double dribble?

Oh my god double dribble. This is so ****ing stupid

There's the Tim we know

Hardaway in during clutch minutes why Kidd?

THJ giveth and he taketh away

That one hurt

I really don't want to see or hear **** about the Mavs having a stupid game. The refs fingerprints are all over this one. It wasn't even close to a fair fight.

Out played them all game choked at the end choke,

This is what you get for letting them hang around

14 turnovers
