yes they were. they didn't win every game, but they had a pretty good win percentage with him dominating. in games he doesn't dominate they aren't even close.
I guess you're right (@Zombo). They're 7-3 when Russ has a triple double.
OKC have also been playing without 3 usual starters in the lineup (no Durant, Roberson or Ibaka), which is why our defensive stats have been suffering.
To make an impact in the playoffs, I really think that they need better coaching. Take Waiters out of the lineup and replace him with Morrow. Less Dion Waiters-isolation when he's on the court, and better court vision in the clutch from all players. They may not be getting the greatest of defense from Morrow when he's playing, but Waiters doesn't have much of an impact on either end.
I hope Ibaka comes back as soon as the playoffs begin, as him and Adams have a huge impact on the defense. This'll mean moving Kanter to the bench and reducing Adams' minutes, but I think that we can still be effective.
I tried to multi-quote you and Noto and experienced an Internet fail. Sorry!
The answer still goes, however: :yes :yes :yes
Kind of nervous about this game against the Spurs tonight even with the #1 seed sown up throughout the entire playoffs. Facing the Evil Emperor himself, Popovich, is always unsettling...
I'm still not sold either side won't pull shenanigans to hold their hands to their chests for the playoffs, wait for Curry, Bogut, Iggy, Timmy, Tony, and Manu to all sit.
