<p>Adams is getting under Green's skin. He will need to watch himself now and I wonder how not being on the edge of the law will affect his performance</p>

<p>I have thought about this, but I also think I dont understand the mental side of an elite athlete. The confidence/arrogance they have is off the chart.</p> -

<p>sorry, it was the son of the guy on the radio that said he'd do 1 and done, and Green was saying he wouldn't (will be on the on demand thing at probably 11-11.30 or so) I knew I'd stuff that up as they explained what it meant on the radio too :)</p>

<p>That makes more sense.</p> -
When DeRozan and Lowry play well they usually win, so no coincidence they came up big today and won. Biyombo has been unreal. That game 3 performance was off the charts - 26 rebounds including 8 offensive. <br><br><br>

<p>Game 4 underway. The ESPN live play by play is seriously awesome.</p>

<p>Fugged it about it ... OKC 23 up with 3 mins to go. This one's done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3-1 up in the series, GSW in a world of shit. Curry and Green's stats are bloody awful.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm sure the kiwi media will write up Adama, but Westbrook, followed closely by Durant have absolutely owned this game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: GSW agree. Second team on now, Curry et al, subbed off.</p> -

<p>Undeniably. I haven't watched the game but Adams looks by the numbers to have played a fairly big role in the first half even though they haven't used him as extensively as other games. In other words he helped set the game up.</p>
<p>RW looks to have gone crazy in the second spell (was going to write apeshit but that would be frowned on)</p> -
<p>It was the OKC small ball 5 that did the business with Ibaka (who was huge) at C and KD at PF. The crowd was bloody loud too - they have the best supporters in the NBA.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OKC needs to keep the foot on the throat for game 5. The pressure is all on GSW to win and extend the series, so OKC can play with more freedom, but they won't want to come back home for a must-win game 6.</p> -
<p>Yeah from the website I was checking out Adams made some good plays on Curry - he's not a one man band but he's doing bloody well. Westbrook and Durant is such a mean combo, they are on fire atm</p>

<p>Can someone please explain to me what "OKCSmall ball 5" means?</p>

<p>OKC brought in Waiters to play guard in place of Adams and moved Durant from small forward to power forward, and Ibaka from power forward to centre. That lineup gave them greater speed to guard the quick GSW players without sacrificing size and rebounding.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OKC has a big lineup when Adams and Kanter play together as twin-centres and their small ball lineup.</p>
