“The Thunder never looked interested. . .” Thank you for a very astute observation. Instead of attacking the rim and crashing the boards, they settled for jump shots and lackluster effort.

it seems to me that when the thunder play fast, we make a lot of mistakes. maybe it’s youth, maybe i don’t know what the hell i’m talking about; but when the thunder are running they seem to turn the ball over or take a crazy shot almost every time.

Russell Westbrook likes Magic Johnson (and the Lakers’ “Showtime” of the ’80s, as does I). And the Thunder has a young, talented players to boot.

If the Thunder shoots a lower-percentage of made shots, a face-pace full-court game produces lay-ups and dunks (e.g., higher percentage) while a slower-pace half-court game produces a 15-20′ jump shot with an opponent’s hand in your face (e.g., lower percentage). If Brooks coaches offenses and defenses, why doesn’t he coach a transaction in addition? Besides, it is more fun to watch, and it packs more people in the Ford Center.
