In Game 3, we got a glimpse of what Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant could do. They took over the game in the second half, exploited bad matchups, and willed the Thunder to an amazing comeback win in Staples. I'm glad they did what they had to do, but that type of offense just isn't sustainable.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook Win, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol Point Fingers

Last night's game wasn't the most pleasant thing to see in the world, we all know that. And I know for a fact thousands of Thunder fans are waking up right now with bad tastes in the mouths from all of the bad officiating that went on last night. But today is a new day, and there's lots of puzzles to solve if the Thunder are to win Game 4.
