Oklahoma City at Golden State

Westbrook had the game from hell tonight. I don't remember the exact numbers but he was something like 3-17 and had 7 turnovers. To make it even worse, Steph Curry dropped 30+ and Jarrett Jack had a near 10/10 game (think he finished with 9/9). Oh yeah, he also had two airballs from deep down the stretch.

 

Funnily enough, it could've been much worse if Curry shot the ball like he usually does. If Curry is shooting like he normally does, he drains at least another 4 3's considering how many open looks he had. I have no doubt in my mind that Curry would've dropped 44+ if this was any other night. His jumper was just off tonight as he missed countless wide open looks.

 

Durant was scary good for the first 45 minutes or so, but he was pretty bad down the stretch as well. I know Westbrook will take all of the heat for this loss, and he certainly deserves his fair share, but Durant's play late was very poor. He missed 3 shots (had only 3 misses the entire game up to this point) missed a free throw that would've tied cut the defecit to 1 (Curry iced it at the line by making it a two possession lead) and then to really put the final nail in the Thunder's coffin, he turned the ball over after telegraph a pass, although in his defense part of this blame goes to Perkins as well. Not a strong showing from him late, but he was ridiculously efficient before then. At one point he had 30 points and 9 assists on something like 9-12 from the field. Filthy.

 

Fun game to watch, though, which is something I don't usually say about the Thunder. I really, really enjoued how this game was officiated as the refs let the players decide the game. I don't think there was a single foul call where I shook my head at and usually there are 3 or 4 of those a quarter in OKC games. Glad the refs let the players decide this one.

 

 

PS: Kevin Martin is an embarssment. All the guy does is flop and flail around the court. It is sickening to watch.
