Think about Westbrook is that he can get you buckets at any time like the dynamic players in the league (Durant/Kobe/Lebron/Wade/etc). On a team without a low post scorer, that's invaluable. Harden can do the same thing, but he can't run the point and he has no mid-range game. That pull-up mid-range jumper that Westbrook has is becoming one of the most lethal shots in the game. He can get that any time he wants and he's been hitting it consistently lately.


**I guess you could argue that Harden could run the point, but I think you would see it take away from his scorer's mentality.

if the thunders persona is fragile, what is the heats?

Harden's scoring way is weird. He always appears at the time nobody notices him. As weird as his beard.

6/14/2012 7:01:49 PM

Thunder 104
Heat 101

6/14/2012 8:36:13 PM

^^ That beard is soooooooooo awesome. You would have to try to grow one yourself to realize how full and thick Harden's beard is.

6/14/2012 8:40:00 PM

Ready for game 2.

6/14/2012 8:46:05 PM

lol how much more hangdog can these promos make the heat look

I like the thunder but I wouldn't mind seeing the heat win because it would piss off all the heat haters

6/14/2012 8:55:07 PM

wtf...my ABC channel is showing a "congratulations you have DISH 500!" and playing elevator music. i don't even have dish network? what is this shit...

[Edited on June 14, 2012 at 9:15 PM. Reason : jesus christ. i just want to watch the game.]

6/14/2012 9:08:35 PM

Seriously, though...Congrats. That's a pretty big accomplishment.

6/14/2012 9:11:07 PM

The rare double flop

6/14/2012 9:21:10 PM

Westbrook having a stellar game so far.

6/14/2012 9:22:48 PM

I don't think I've seen Sefalosha complete a single dunk in this series, 3 misses.

6/14/2012 9:34:56 PM

LBJ is blocked?

6/14/2012 9:41:03 PM

oklahoma city's like a top prize fighter. they come out and invite you to lay your best shot right on their chin, and then in the second half they murder you. watch. reminds me of alabama/lsu football last season. wonderful to watch.

6/14/2012 9:41:17 PM

Lebron sits down as Durant comes back in?

ruh roh

6/14/2012 9:46:23 PM

harden is so much fun to watch.

thank you herb.

6/14/2012 9:46:32 PM

Every time HEAT gives OKC a heavy punch quickly in the beginning, see if OKC can stand up and come back this time.

6/14/2012 9:57:35 PM

^lol he was never this entertaining when playing under herb

6/14/2012 9:57:36 PM

The actions spider man takes comparing with game motions are awesome.

weak, basketball is getting worse than soccer in some respects

agreed

6/14/2012 10:07:45 PM

Reggie Miller's looking good

6/14/2012 10:11:48 PM

Refs have already missed about 4 calls so far. The back court with Bosh, the goal tend against OKC, the out of bounds with Chalmers, etc

6/14/2012 10:11:51 PM

i think chalmers might have stepped on the line before ibaka knocked the ball out of bounds. :shrug:

[Edited on June 14, 2012 at 10:14 PM. Reason : lebron just got bailed out on a crazy out of control drive]

6/14/2012 10:13:35 PM

why can't okc stop these random heat players? 55 first half points? I didn't know that was possible.

6/14/2012 10:18:18 PM

whats Wilbon doing on here?

6/14/2012 10:22:09 PM

KD and westbrook are not as good as last game. Foul trouble is because of less experiences.

6/14/2012 10:22:47 PM

I wish somebody would reach over and rip Chris Broussard's vocal chords out

6/14/2012 10:24:32 PM

ESPN somehow randomly turned Wilbon into a NBA expert a while ago. I. don't. get. it.

6/14/2012 10:25:18 PM

I can speak out some of his points of view

I assume it's cause he's black

6/14/2012 10:29:23 PM

Nice foul call there....

6/14/2012 10:40:20 PM

Get Perkins the hell out and put in collison

he's covered the league for over 30 years and is one of their most liked on-air personalities

this isn't rocket science

6/14/2012 10:50:30 PM

sports coverage has gotten so good lately that i'm totally over writers that didn't play in their respective leagues talking about the game.

i'd so much rather listen to sir charles.

6/14/2012 10:54:01 PM

also, he is more of a host who is allowed to chip in his opinion than an "expert"

6/14/2012 10:59:15 PM

The other guy is the host. Not Wilbon, not magic, not Jon Barry, but the other guy.

6/14/2012 11:00:27 PM

i'd have no problem w/ him as a host, but ^

6/14/2012 11:06:12 PM

Durant dresses like a true professional. westbrook dressed funny at first, now he looks silly...

6/14/2012 11:21:32 PM

heat's all about those 4th quarter turnovers

6/14/2012 11:34:44 PM

battiers lucky ass three wins the game and probably the sirie

6/14/2012 11:36:37 PM

HEAT in 5 is possible, as I said earlier.

6/14/2012 11:43:36 PM

Hahaha ^^

[Edited on June 14, 2012 at 11:45 PM. Reason : °]

6/14/2012 11:44:41 PM

refs finally learned how to close a 4th quarter.

6/14/2012 11:48:46 PM

I like how the refs call bullshit charges but not blatant defensive fouls

6/14/2012 11:50:34 PM

Good job, good effort

6/14/2012 11:51:15 PM

Is it a foul?
It's still under discussion probably.
