At this point you would have to have some seriously twisted logic to say LBJ hasn’t been the best player these playoffs. In my opinion Durant is 2nd but it’s not particularly close. Yet.
^^how does Westbrook only have something like 4free throw attempts this game with how much he drives in traffic? He only had 2 attempts last game.
His pull up jumper is working and when they step out to defend him he just blows past everyone. If he can get that shot to fall as consistently as it is tonight he will be unguardable (he looks it tonight)
I was going to say that I’m surprised that Wade hasn’t need T’d up for how much he’s yelling, flailing his arms and crying about no calls… But I’m not surprised lol

Derrick Rose does this too - they have ridiculous body control that is sometimes too good for their own good. Extremely good at contorting body to avoid fouls. I certainly haven’t seen many (if any) plays where he got fouled and it wasn’t called.
He could stand to seek contact more often on his jumps.

The most Westbrook game ever. Gives them an incredible game and basically carries the team, then makes a headscratching foul to ice the game for MIA and gives the ball away on the ensuing last chance possession. Gotta feel for him.
One big difference between MIA this year and last: Chalmers is a lot better. Not just in this game either.
