TNT analyst Reggie Miller weighs in on series between Clippers and Thunder

Former NBA star and current TNT analyst Reggie Miller has a couple of thoughts regarding the Western Conference semifinals series between the Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder, which begins Monday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

Regarding Clippers post DeAndre Jordan, Miller said: “He is playing at an all-time high level for (coach) Doc Rivers after being slighted for Defensive Player of the Year. He is showing how important his defense is for the Clippers.”

Jordan finished third in the voting for Defensive Player of the Year.

As for OKC’s Kevin Durant, Miller alluded to the headline “Mr. Unreliable” printed by the Oklahoman ahead of the Thunder’s Game 7 victory over Memphis, in which Durant scored 33 points.

“The Oklahoman newspaper headline was probably the best thing to happen to KD – it woke him up,” Miller said. ‘Mr. Reliable’ will show why he will earn his first MVP title.”
