Yep, I'd say the line between OU football and Thunder basketball obsession has officially blurred. I know this because I spent last night's postgame alternating between Internet, radio and television meltdowns. Here is what I learned after making that terrible mistake…
The Thunder lost Game 3 because:
Brent Venables' defensive scheme was much too complex for Thabo Sefolosha
Paul Thompson didn't replace Russell Westbrook before that final inbounds pass
The refs consulted replay official Gordon Riese on Derek Fisher's 3-pointer-turned-2-pointer back to 3 back to 2 that ultimately became a 1
Serge Ibaka failed to kick the ball into the end zone, allowing LeBron to run one back for a dunk.
Scott Brooks is too proud to hire a special teams coach
Jerry Schmidt's morning shootaround was too strenuous.
James Harden tweets too much.
Cale Gundy decided when to sub Durant in and out instead of Brooks
As the Heat left the perimeter open and despite Chris Bosh having the defensive game of his life, Kevin Wilson insisted on running the ball right through the lane three straight times down the stretch.
