The Mythical Double Charge

Can't argue with Benny... no excuse for Smoove not scoring a single fourth quarter point last night.  Guy was the only one who showed up though, putting up 36, 7 and 7.  If the Thunder don't have enough firepower to win when he puts up a line like that, its only a matter of time before they end up Kobe'd.  Oh and that guy who OKC got in the Harden deal?  2 points last night on 1/10 from the field.  Awesome.  Am I the only one who thinks the Rockets are a much better team with Patrick Beverley (burn in hell) at point than Jeremy Lin?  The curse of Jeremiah lives on.  First he injures Russ Russ then he injures Lin so he gives way to the superior player.

I'm also not going to make any comments on Scotty's ridiculous HackAsik strategy.  I guess if nothing else is working, you might as well try to pull a bunny out of your top hat.  yaknowwhatimean?

We did get to see an occurrence that prior to last night was thought to share the same real estate as the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Ben Wallace's offensive game and Marty's self control; the vaunted double flop.

Larry is an Idiot

Just piling on the Durant hate for no reason.

If you switch LeBron and Durant in their current situations, you are going to get the same results as we are going to see.  The Thunder with LeBron and sans Westbrook get knocked out in the Western Conference Finals and the Heat with Durant, Bosh and Wade win the title.  Period.  There is no arguing that.  The number of 38, 10 and 7 games isn't saving the LeBron lead Thunder.

Durant is doing a ridiculous job leading a team that literally has no other offensive options.  Shooting 12/16 while putting up 38 points, 8 boards and 6 assists while getting double and triple teamed on every possession is a feat.  LeBron won't see that kind of defense consistently throughout a game because then D. Wade or Christopher Bosh would put up a cool 50.  The Thunder without Westbrook and Harden have no one else with that capability.  Ibaka made that abundantly clear last night.

Very questionable no call on Asik's aggressive chest bump on Jackson...
