Third straight home loss....and this one to the pathetic Cleveland Cavaliers!!! Is it the return of Westbrook......or the "shoes?" Something is wrong....something is seriously wrong! Don't get me wrong....I'm hoping the Spurs can secure homecourt throughout the playoffs. But this slump by the Thunder baffles me!
 
it could be the return of westbrook is just causing chemistry issues? Durrant was just on fire too in their stretch without westbrook.

That's my guess. A player returning from a long-term absence always causes a period of adjustment. In his first 2 games, Westbrook struggled. Against the Cavs, they just ran into a team that stayed close and then shot 14-21 in the final quarter. Just an outstanding game by Jack, Irving and the rest of the Cavs. Go Cleveland!
 
...Durant get's triple double....Thunder still lose to the lowly Lakers! Why? West "faster than a speeding bullet" Brook jacks up more shots than humanly possible and adds 8 turnovers to his resume! So I ask again...what is happening to the Thunder???
 
Well, looks like the Spurs should be favored to win the whole thing when these playoffs start....as well they should be! Should won the thing last year if not for one fluke play by the Heat!

The Spurs won't be the favorites grandpa.

Interesting how the Heat won 4 games on one fluke play. Must have been an amazing play.

Hey numb!.....got a c-note that says they will be....and another one that says they do! However, when you get to the finals of each conference you know as well as I do that ONE single play can be the difference in winning or losing! That offensive rebound and then pass out to Allen for that tying 3 pointer was the fluke play I was referring to!
 
Russel makes them worse.

He thinks he's a superstar and shoots more than KD. OKC was far better when they let their franchise player do everything he wanted. With Russel back, you have 2 alpha dogs fighting over the ball.

Maybe the Spurs with all their elite-ness should have secured the defensive rebound.

No team will be the favorite over the team that has won back-to-back titles. They could win, sure, but they definitely will not be the favorites.
