Wish I had interchanged my Westbrook and Ibaka pick as it would have netted me 19 more points in this game. Congratulations are due to the 1% who banked on Kendrick Perkins and they are greatly rewarded with his 25 PRA effort - his highest in this playoffs - which does not come a lot. Kawhi Leonard had 12 PRA in the third quarter and finished with 26 PRA in the game, good thing I stuck with him since I am 50-50 on choosing him or Boris Diaw. Kevin Durant torched the Spurs in the fourth on his way to a 50 PRA night. The bigger story here is that on the two games that OKC has won, Russell Westbrook shot less and scored less. If this continues, owners who are saving Westbrook might not have a big PRA day that Russ has done in the past.
Down 2-1, the Celtics want to even the series at home just like OKC. With that, I am going with Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics. He needs to provide the team with spark offensively since he is the guy that can make threes in bunches. I am also picking Ray Allen because I am out of quality players to choose from in Boston.
Looking for a 20+ PRA from Ray-Ray while the Celtics lose to the Heat. It maybe easier said than done but the Heat actually had control of the first quarter before Boston made their defensive switches. Game 4 might not be a high scoring one but I expect the game to be close which means that Ray Allen might take a few shots or two in the closing minutes.
