James Harden CLEAR x factor for Thunder

Game notes

Unbelievable collapse by OKC. Up by 15 with 4 minutes left and they blew it.

Big props to Dirk for being a superstar once again. Hit some ridiculous shots in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter.

Kevin Durant looks scared out there. He's rushing his game. He's taken a big step back in the series as being a go to scorer. He's only 22. He'll improve in the future.

OKC offense was COMPLETELY stagnant after Harden fouled out with 4:30 remaining. It was embarrassing to watch. Harden was the only player out there who was "in the moment". They need him out there for that 3rd option and to spread the floor.

I swear Dallas just ripped the heart out of the Thunder.

This shits 100% over in game 5. G'night folks.
 
Yeah and why not, Dallas deserve it this year!

Dirk, J-Kidd, The Jet, Tyson Chandler, The Matrix, J.J. Barea, Peja - all great players who should have won a ring while in their prime. For various reasons they couldn't do it, would be great to see them do it now on the same team.

Miami is actually a combination of 3 stars and 12 nut suckers, while Dallas really have a great roster with many great basketball players, who are doing their thing for the past 10+ years.

Dallas over Miami and OKC any day.

Interesting stat, I'm not sure what it means but the numbers are so stark they have to mean something:

Before HArden fouled out in game 4 73% (or thereabouts) of the Thunder offense came within 15 feet...after he fouled out, 12% came within 15 feet...that's a HUGE drop off.
