“Oklahoma City went down big early and couldn’t recover because no one could make a shot. The Thunder shot 36.4 percent in the first half. And the problem was OKC kept shooting from the outside instead of attacking the rim” (2nd observation). You are exactly on the money! I figure that out in the last game (Cavs in the 4th). Although the Thunder shot 36.4 FG% in the 1st half, it is at the top in FT%. Darnell, it’s a no-brainer.

We need to start calling Chris Andersen “flopper”. It seemed every time he flopped during the game, an official would call a foul. Many times, he wasn’t even touched. No wonder he shot so many foul shots! I think many of the bad calls was from a rookie official.

jr smith is a jerk. does the nba look at calls the refs made/didn’t make like the nfl does? do the refs get graded.

[...] Darnell Mayberry’s reactions: “In the end, this was a game that came down to the better team simply outperforming an inferior team. Because when you look at the box score none of it really explains how this was a blowout for much of the game. Both teams shot right at 40 percent. The Thunder, as I mentioned, won the overall rebounding battle. OKC had three more turnovers, but the Nuggets scored seven less points off OKC’s giveaways. The Thunder made more 3-pointers, had more assists and finished with more points in the paint. Denver attempted nine more free throws and made eight more, the only stat that provides some sort of explanation. But even that is misleading because some of those attempts at the line came down the stretch.” [...]
