I thought Westbrook was great for the first half, not so great in the second. I think he got really tired, as he played almost the entire game. His game doesn't translate well to tired, that's when his crazy-*** layups and wild passes come out.

You gotta consider the fact that the Spurs in general are one of the teams that fouls the least, so it's not a 50-50 thing. They are smart about their fouls and cut down stupid fouls in general. The point of frustration was that the Grizz play hard in the paint and 50-50 calls went against them too often.
Stuff like blatantly obvious moving screens while the defender is holding the screener, players trying to take charges but not leaning in a direction with their upper body while the attacker also lowers his shoulder a bit...

I was surprised how timid and ineffective he was across the first two games.

Rondo fractured his thumb. Out indefinitely. That really helps Boston, except they have to win four without homecourt advantage.
That is actually a good point I didn't think about it. I should have compared the numbers between Game 2 and 3.

Man that's a bummer with the upset they've been running on Boston. I think they still take the series, though.

I honestly don't see Boston taking a game in Chicago. The rebounding differential has been too much for Boston to overcome and I don't see it changing. Worst #1 seed I can remember.
Meh, they won a game because Jimmy Butler played super poorly. If Chicago wins game 4 they win the series most likely.
