Really poor shooting from him until late in the 4th/OT. But oh well, got the win.

Yep, like I said he was pretty underwhelming until the 4th. But shot what 6-13 or something since the start of 4th? Oladipo was the better player today, 5 3s and a couple were incredibly timely.
Good to see their understanding is getting better. Victor is reacting quicker with his movement when Russ gets the ball - like it happened for that fast break in the 4th.
But yeah, that last three in the 4th stole the show. First player since the Big-O to be averaging a triple double in 20 games.
Bow down to godbrook
In the last 5 games he has shot 36% and turned the ball over 29 times.
Would be great to see LeBron get a 5th MVP and tie Jordan
He's the one I've got my money on right now and I think he'll go for it for the very reason you mentioned.
He's settled into the magic johnson role really well.
He is what he is. It is disappointing people get so fixated on his stats and don't appreciate how incredible he is.
It's disappointing that people get fixated on other stats like "OMG TRIPLE DOUBLES!" and just ignore the major flaws in his game.
Exactly, he took 35 shots ffs! And when they say fixated on stats and Westbrook in the same sentence it must mean fixating on his triple doubles and not looking at his flaws not the other way around.
It's like people who complain about Cristiano taking too many shots after he's scored a hat trick.
Thankfully I never got to a point of agreeing with either of those.
It's not like that at all. Basketball teams have a finite amount of possessions that is equal to the amount the other team has.
I am not a fan of basketball that is just 1 guy doing everything and I still feel that what Westbrook is doing will not be sustainable over a full season but, you really can not deny that he has been phenomenal this season.
His TS% is a little above his career average. He is shooting the 3 at a career best % too. Of course he has flaws, most people on here certainly point them out. But he is having a pretty damn incredible season. You've always been a Westbrook 'hater' though, just because he isn't CP3 or any other traditional PG. It's OK to be impressed with him despite his flaws.
Nice one Zlatan! Time to bin that City jersey he wore during summer... Forgive him guys; he didn't know any better.
Yeah that's the main worry - he doesn't ever slow down on the court and plays with the exact same intensity the whole time. Even for such an incredible athlete that's gonna wear him out.
Some shambolic defending on display by the Cavs.
They won four of those games though. He's got major flaws, but his current burst is showing his qualities more than anything.
Cannot watch this game further. What a load of crap by the Cavs. Blowout for Clips and they end the 0-3 run.
fecking hell Harden. Literally dazed off on that Warriors fast break!
I'm sure Harden plays blazed, so laconic and never phazed or rushed. I've played indoor (5-a-side) blazed and it was the exact same for me
What a game.

Yeah it's working. I got scared.
Saw the first half, and then saw the last 2 minutes. Why does Steph get fouled out so often i have no idea. Just saw Draymond kicked Harden
Anyways, i doubt the Warriors will reach the NBA finals this year.

It was his first in regular season in 3 years though.

He'll never learn.I'll be surprised if they don't. We can talk of their lack of rim protector or whatever but the only way to beat them in a 7 game series is outscoring that insane offense. A team like Spurs don't have the offense to match that. Only team that can, is Cavs.
LeBron James Named Sports Illustrated's 2016 Sportsperson of the Year
You don't give the Clippers a chance?
The lack of height is hurting Warriors. Despite that Kevin Durant is playing excellently, they looked a bit more balanced last season.
Curry, Klay, and KD only shot 25-70, and it still took 2OT to beat them. How the hell would you outscore them over a 7 game series.
Cavs fall third game in a row. Was nice watching Wade blitzing past LeBron and scoring buckets.
