I think its a good foul call IMO...The defender is not supposed to leave his feet unsless the shooter does.....Gotta have some discapline on defense.....
i understand the discipline and all that shit. but i think its gay when the shooter jumps into an airborne defender. thats all i was tryin to say. its different when the defender is jumpin str8 towards then shooter but if its to a point to where the shooter purposely jumps into the defender just to make contact, i dont think it should be a foul. it should be a no call. people jump str8 up, forward or fadeaway back, not side to side to shoot unless ur running to shoot a buzzer beater or some shit.

Ok... I feel what your saying, but i disagree...Blame Reggie Miller..He was the first one i seen do it on a consistant basis...

Jumping sideways to get into a defender and shoot the ball..I can see how that could get on your nerves...BUT..IMO..The defender should never leave his feet unless the shooter leaves his feet...Easier said than done..but when a defender leaves his feet on a pumpfake or is late running out to the shooter...He has no more rights..LOL....He is vulnerable to the shooter jumping into them while shooting the ball...

And if the shooter can still make the shot while jumping sideways and creating contact..Thats some real body control and coordination...Maybe luck for some...

This fool Westbrook still dosent get it......He's mad cuz he has to sit down...GIVE THE BALL TO DURANT AND HARDEN....Play defense blow by defenders when you have a chance and take the occasional jumper.....

westbrook is being stubborn as fuck and thats never good for the team. he seems like the hothead type that can let little things fuck his and the teams whole shit up. i just hope this doesnt effect him in the upcoming games cuz dallas is no joke, not even on the road. you could never count out a team that swept the Lakers.

Dallas has owned OKC in OKC if I'm not mistaken. Seems like we've never really beat them here.

Sick game though. There's a video that Nate Robinson put up on Twitter of a couple hundred fans cheering the thunder on at the airport when they got back. There had been CRAZY thunderstorms all night and you can see the lightning in the background and the fans still held them down. Not sure if this link will work http://www.twitvid.com/D0A6O

in the offseason they need to get rid of westbrook asap. his attitude will only get worse. he doesnt get it. and if he doesnt get it in a year or two, he'll be either playin ball overseas or bagging my groceries at safeway.
If i were OKC and didnt win this series i would seriously see what i could get for westbrook and Perkins....

Westbrook is so damn talented and young tho...If he could just learn to distribute, he would be nice...If he could learn to just take at the very MAX take 12 shots a game he might be something....

Collison is one of the most underrated players coming off the bench anywhere. Maybe not after these playoffs but he's so legit as a role player. He'll give you a big put back or offensive rebound or make a big play in almost every single game. Perkins is kinda wack and we're giving that dude too much money. He's given the team some grit but he can't score and he's getting owned by bigger post players.
