For Dion Waiters, going from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Oklahoma City Thunder was a breath of fresh air. Waiters himself said he felt “wanted” with OKC, and it was a vast difference from the vines of him begging for the ball from LeBron James. Though Waiters has more freedom with the Thunder, Kevin Durant had to remind him that he is the star of the team and should have the ball in his hands.

(Video) NBA: Referees Admit to Non-Call During Insane Final Sequence in Thunder/Spurs Game 2
The final sequence in the Thunder v. Spurs game 2 was one of the most bizarre I’ve ever seen. Thunder led the game 98-97 with 13.5 seconds left and had possession of the ball. Dion Waiters tried to inbound the ball while Manu Ginobli played defense. Waiters then threw the ball in to Kevin Durant but Durant was stripped by Danny Green who passed the ball ahead to Patty Mills who passed it to Manu Ginobli, who kicked it back to Mills who missed the ensuing three-point attempt. LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard scrambled for the rebound but the buzzer went off and the game was over. The referee later admitted to missing the offensive foul committed by Waiters but a ton more happened those last few seconds.

NBA: Kevin Durant on Warriors & Spurs: “We not scared of either one of those teams”
Kevin Durant scored 40 points and 14 rebounds in addition to Russell Westbrook’s 27 points and 12 rebounds and Enes Kanter stepped up as well with a double-double of 14 points and 15 rebounds but all in all it was not enough as the Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-108 on Saturday night. It’s clear that the Thunder are in fact contenders but they have two major road blocks in the Warriors and San Antonio Spurs. Is it something they have enough firepower to over come?
