You want to talk about playoff basketball – how about a mascot bringing his A-Game.  Bango, the Milwaukee Bucks Buck (?), attempted and succeeded in an unbelievable dunk.  No NBA mascot goes this far.  He climbed on a ladder to the sky and then twirled through the air, coming down at rapid speed.  Not only was he brave enough to attempt the scary dunk, but he actually completed the basket.

Talk about putting it on the line for the team and the fans.  Someone deserves a Summer bonus.

We’ll see if the likes of the Phoenix Suns Gorilla or San Antonio Spurs Coyote can ever match this one.

Kobe Bryant has been killing the Thunder ever since Sefolosha left.  Before that he was almost completely shut down by Sefolosha.  What in the world are you thinking Scott Brooks?!?!?  This is the worst coaching since Gregg Popovich played Roger Mason and Keith Bogans at the same time.

Also, Kevin Durant played weak against Ron Artest.  Really weak.

I thought the Thunder had this, but looks like the two leaders are shrinking when it counts.

What the hell?  How do you ice Sefolosha after the job he did on Kobe?  I’m appalled and amazed.  This is embarrassing for Oklahoma City.

Edit: He finally puts Thabo Sefolosha back in with 51 seconds left.  It’s probably too late stupidass.  Horrible coaching.  Makes me want to throw up.
