"The Thunder staged the most trashy playoffs, losing 61 points once in a hundred years!"

The Thunder thought they could win the second home court, at least not be swept by the Clippers. As a result, the cruel facts proved that the Thunder were just a fool. They were beaten by the Clippers at their home court for 61 points (138:77). After this battle, the Thunder would probably be speechless against the elders of Jiangdong.

The most disparity in the history of the NBA playoffs took place on March 20, 1956, when the Minneapolis Lakers defeated the St. Louis Hawks 133-75 (gap wins 58 points). The Oklahoma City Thunder, which had just been established for a year, surpassed their predecessors today without hesitation and became the new player with the most shameful record in the playoff history. The Hawks must have secretly thanked the ancestors of the Thunder for eight generations.

The four games with the largest score difference in playoff history, except for the Lakers vs. Hornets and Lakers vs. Hawks, who ranked third and fourth were the Lakers 126-70 Warriors (56 points in net) in 1973 and the Bucks 136-86 wins (50 points in net) in 1971.

It's true that the Lakers were originally ranked among the top three in this list. The name of the Purple Gold Noble was obtained through such great moments after great moments, and they were qualified to be called aristocrats. So if the Clippers want to surpass the Lakers, the first thing they have to do is to change these great records one by one with their own names. Then the title of the aristocrat will naturally be transferred to their heads in the future.

The Thunder were completely beaten into a sieve in this game. The strength gap between the two teams should not have caused such a huge gap. No matter how bad the Thunder is, they also squeezed into the top eight in the West. Moreover, the Thunder only missed 6 times at home this season. They are very competitive at home. The Thunder will be defeated so much today. The main reason is that their point guard Westbrook was completely curbed by the opponent (Westbrook scored 6 points and 3 assists and 9 mistakes today. He played the most bad game in his personal game). The Clippers adopted the mixed joint defense strategy of Billups, and the wings Avraro and Ji Guomother double-teaming at any time. At the same time, Garcia was stuck on Durant like a jersey, cutting off the Thunder's second scoring point; and if Westbrook tries to play pick-and-roll with Green and Artest, it will fall in the joint defense center, which will inevitably lead to a large number of mistakes.

The Clippers used the Lakers' approach against Paul in this game to bully the young Westbrook yesterday, and the result was even more significant. The day before, Paul suffered a great humiliation under the Lakers' defense. At this time, Westbrook, who was far inferior to Paul, naturally could not escape the disaster.

"The Clippers Meat Grinder caught the Thunder softie. Is this person worthy of playing the All-Star?"

Durant is the Thunder's number one star, and there is no doubt that the Thunder has been complaining that their core has failed to enter the All-Star Game this season. But let's look at the data he handed over in four playoff games, with 96 shots, 26 shots, averaging 27.1% shooting percentage and only 6 of 25 three-pointers. The even more pitiful 24% three-point shooting percentage.

Average of 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 turnovers per game. This is the average data Kevin Durant has handed over. Coupled with his shooting, everything is obvious. With such a core, how can the Thunder not set a shameful record?

However, Durant also had his anger. After being eliminated, he angrily accused Garcia and Barnes of his extremely dirty defense. "I admire those tough players, but those dirty playing styles made me very angry. Since I joined the league, I have known that the game will be quite difficult, but I will never appreciate their dirty style, and I will never admire them." Durant's anger is understandable. Garcia and Barnes reflected their value in the playoffs. These two players are not clean at all and are better in the regular season, but as soon as the playoffs arrive, these two people began to greet Durant in turn. The poor little schoolbag was not relieved for a second in the game, because the Clippers' defense against him was that Uncle Garnes and Barnes took turns to take turns.

Barnes smiled after the game, "I'm not the kind of annoying player. I just put pressure on Kevin with active defense. Maybe everyone doesn't like that kind of play by any means. Once the physical confrontation is intense, they will definitely not like it, but he must understand that Kobe, James, and even our two inside cores have to face such defenses from other teams in the game." This made Durant feel uncomfortable, and Barnes clearly mocked him for not being able to afford to lose.

In addition to Garcia and Barnes, Deng Tai Jones, Jeffries of the Clippers, and even the "Red Fox" Ji Guomo, they are all strong players in the defense, and their fierce style of play does make it difficult for the Thunder and young players to adapt. In the playoffs, strong defense and dirty things cannot be separated. Everyone faces the same defense, so only those real stars can stand out in the playoffs.

What is the playoffs? The playoffs are games that can clean up sand. Although Durant is not sand, he is still too young now. In the words of Ji Guohuo, it must be trampled hard to help him grow quickly.

"I know their feelings, but we won't maliciously attack others. We are just trying to play. If the situation allows, I won't let them make layups easily, but we won't use actions beyond the rules." Ji Guomo did not mock him. Perhaps he was in a good mood after winning the ball, and when the little fox was in a good mood, it became easy to get along with.

After the Clippers massacred the Thunder, they became the first team in the league to advance to the second round and the only team to advance to the opponent.

Not many people paid attention to the later battle between the bull and horses. After the Mavericks returned to home, they recovered in form. Nowitzki led the team to bloom more, but the gap in overall strength made them still lose to the Spurs.

Terry won the title of Best Sixth Person, and he had enough motivation to help the team win. The Best Sixth Person scored 28 points in this game, but although the Spurs' four giants lacked Ginobili and did not play in some minor injuries, the other three giants performed even more. Parker scored the highest in 42 points with the Spurs, and Duncan's 25 points was still terrible. In addition, Jamison, who became Duncan's reliable partner, defeated the Dallas Mavericks with a big away score and grabbed the match point in the series.

The score was 110:85. The Mavericks lost 25 points in a net loss. Although there was not much attention from the Clippers' victory at 61 points, the Dallas media must find a culprit for this home defeat, that is, the person who took the blame.

Jason Terry of the Mavericks scored 28 points and 4 rebounds, Kidd scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Nowitzki scored 15 points and 13 rebounds, Danpi scored 10 points and 6 rebounds. Howard scored 12 points, and Baria scored 9 points and 4 assists.

Parker of the Spurs scored 42 points, he still had 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 assists, Duncan scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and Jamison scored 20 points and 10 rebounds.

The two home defeats made the Mavericks clean with the joy of regaining their home advantage last week. The 25-point gap was shocking. It is hard to imagine that this is a battle between the Mavericks with a complete lineup and the Spurs without Ginobili. With the widespread optimism that the Dallas can win a game back, the Mavericks once again disappointed.

On paper, the Mavericks' biggest failure today is that they can't defend Parker, which made the latter score 42 points. But in fact, the Mavericks' problem lies in offense. Parker is a point that cannot be restricted to the Mavericks, and the Dallas never rely on defense to make a living. But when you can't defend Parker, you only get 85 points, and you don't lose.

Are the Mavericks lacking scoring experts? This sentence is simply a joke. Nowitzki, Howard, and Terry are all top-notch attackers in the league.

Is that the Mavericks lacking a good organizer? Jason Kidd, the superstar point guard with the third most assists in the league history, was once again put on the forefront.

Is Kidd really old? In the four games against the Spurs, Kidd only has six or seven assists in each game, and rarely double-digit scores. He always scores less than double digits, which is far from his career average. It is said that the trade for Devin. Harris to Kidd is a sign of the decline of the Mavericks. Is it really Kidd who harmed the Mavericks?

Let’s take a look at the data first. Kidd scored 5 points in this game, and his performance of 1 of 8 shots is also an unreasonable result for Kidd, who has always been not good at personal offense. However, the offense is not good, which is Kidd’s flaw, but in terms of the efficiency value that can best play on the spot, Kidd is the lowest in the team-24. This means that during Kidd’s presence, the Mavericks lost 24 points to the opponent, which coincides with the final score difference. Is Kidd really the culprit for losing in this game? In fact, it is not.

Los Angeles media have the pleasure of both winning teams, and the Los Angeles media has the leisure to comment on the team. The Los Angeles Times believes that Kidd's specialty lies in his control of rhythm and his ability to grasp momentary opportunities. This means that he needs more and more active teammates to run off the ball, and find a fatal opportunity for one pass between people. In addition, Kidd's ability to pass in a fast attack is also first-class. But the Mavericks only know how lazy other Mavericks are in the absence of the ball in today's game. They all stand in place and reach out to ask for the ball, or wait for him to force a breakthrough to pass the ball.

Breakthrough and pass the ball is actually the easiest item in point guard skills. If it was Kidd five years ago, of course it was not a problem, but the Mavericks were wrong to compare the ability to break through and pass the ball with 26-year-old Harris. The current system and overall personnel composition of the Mavericks need a point guard with sharp breakthroughs, which can also explain why the unknown Barria has become popular recently. But it is not that they do not have the ability to play more flexible positions. If they can provide more unball support, cover, back-running and pick-and-roll cooperation, it will not be too late to evaluate Kidd's gains and losses at that time.

It can be said that Kidd had no way to use his unique skills, but he had to be forced to play in the way he was the worst at the moment. In the third quarter, Mavericks substitute forward Bass had a good empty cut. Kidd showed off his unique skills and passed the ball through three defensive players. Instead, Bass was stunned and almost missed the opportunity to wipe the board at the basket.

What the Mavericks lacked is this kind of activity in positional warfare. One fact is that Kidd came to Dallas, and both the Mavericks and himself became victims of the deal. But whether Kidd harmed the Mavericks or the Dallas system made the league's best point guard in the past 10 years lose his security in the evening, it still needs to be said.

On April 27, in the Western Conference, the Lakers 3:1 Hornets, the Rockets 3:1 Trail Blazers, the Clippers 4:0 Thunder, the Spurs 3:1 Mavericks. In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers 2:2 Chicago Bulls, the Boston Celtics 2:2 New York Knicks, the Orlando Magic 3:1 Philadelphia 76ers, and the Atlanta Hawks 2:2 Miami Heat.

The Clippers have entered the second round, but they may not have to wait too long, because the Rockets also got the match point, and their opponent is basically the Houston Rockets, and next will be a Chinese derby.
