Melissa sure seems finished. Does he have player option? If so he will exercise it.

Man, other than Adams, OKC has a bunch of statpadders.

They are who we thought they were. Melo is perhaps one of the most overrated players in NBA history. Westbrook is a loser too. He may have the gaudy stats but he’s no leader. And “Playoff Paul” looks about ready to go fishing real soon and then off to LA.

Yeah I pretty much agree.  None of these guys is a team leader, they are just gunners out for themselves.  To me, they are one of the most unlikable teams in the league.

I have to say, watching this game, it is so obvious how many calls the refs gift the so-called 'star players'.  Paul George gets away with a lot of fouls, but when he rubs up against Mitchell on a drive he get the soft foul call. 

It has happened over and over again in this game.  I am not a conspiracy theorist, but the refs don't seem to be calling this game the same on both sides of the ball.

It's honestly frustrating to watch.  Gives me hope that Tupac is alive and well in Cuba, tho

Doesnt matter though. Utah has ripped OKC little hearts out

Westbrook may have shut Rubio up this game, but Joe Ingles destroyed PG13.

Melo and Westbrook have been trash, but somehow you just know that George is going to get all the blame, tomorrow, lol ::).

Utah is fun to watch.  They actually play as a team and all of them know their roles.  I am enjoying watching them destroy OKC.

OKC went 22 minutes between an assist, both assists were when Russ was on the bench.

OKC has such talented guys and are such trash anyway. All their worst instincts come out when the chips are down.

Westbrook is really getting exposed this series. It is bad when Mitt Romney starts taughting him.

It's always a team game in the end...

If you swapped Rondo with Westbrook when the playoffs started what would things look like now?

Poor OKC is going to be paying Westbrook for the next six seasons to the point where he is making nearly $47M the final season of that contract.

Yikes.

Good luck building anything meaningful around him. That franchise is pretty much doomed for the next decade.
