2016 WCF: Warriors vs. Spu- sorry, Thunder

[skoadam]

:cry: if they lose, Toronto's my only hope at watching any more NBA this year!

Well maybe not hope but i really dont like cavs and thunder.

[Moz]

I don't know why some people were surprised of how the Thunder has fared so far after seeing the Spurs and Blazers series...

[Andrew]

You're not surprised at all that the Warriors are down 3-1?

[Moz]

Actually, not at all since the Blazers gave them fits... You may say they only won one game on that series but they made the Warriors crap their pants to win those 4 (ok 3) games. Durant and Westbrook are far more lethal than Lillard and McCollum afterall...

[[Q]]

I could see Kerr making an adjustment (I got money on playing Bogut) and winning the next 2 games. Don't forget this is the team that looked like they were down and out in the finals last year and then inserted Iguodala in the starting lineup for the win.

Still, they won 73 games in the regular season, and have only just lost back-to-back games for the first time all year. They've been pretty dominant and resilient most of the season, where they beat the Thunder three times.

It's also worth noting that there's talk of Curry's knee still bothering him, and that probably should be taken into consideration. Then again, a lot of people dismissed the idea that Love and Irving's absence mattered in last year's Finals, so it would be somewhat hypocritical to fall back on it as an excuse...

Even if Warriors win all 3 games now, hats off to OKC.

And since crying Jordan isn't really applicable here:

Fell off the chair thanks buddy for making my day

[NovU]

Man, so many excuses for the Warriors. Curry, Bogut, Draymond, damn suck it up. Nobody's 100% healthy in the playoffs. Also I hear a lot saying they aren't playing like regular season Warriors which is oversimplifying. The Spurs didn't look like the same Spurs from regular season by the time Thunder dealt with them. The Thunder are just playing great and they had that extra gear to reach for the playoffs.

[Andrew]

So, the Thunder are shooting badly, turning the ball over, and making some other mistakes. But this officiating is horrendous. Absolutely disgraceful.

[atlwarrior]

So Golden State caught a huge break. Man OKC is tough. I really don't see them boys losing game 6 in OKC

[Phil89]

Draymond just can't help himself it seems.

He has kinda forfeited the benefit of the doubt on these at this point. He has no excuse to be flailing his legs in the air like that.

[ThePointForward]

He's a human flail now.

[Andrew]

Turnovers and shot selection killed the Thunder, though they were still in it until arguably the closing moments. That's one positive they can take out of it as they head home for Game 6.

This isnt new to be honest,its been happening for awhile now. But if thats the best the Warriors got this series is gonna be over in 6 to be honest the Thunder had alot of bad decision making and turnovers but somehow were able to keep up with the Warriors trying to play their best ball with their backs against the wall.

[Andrew]

Absolutely, the Thunder could be in worse shape, and in a much worse position. If the Warriors get the win in OKC though, I see them completing the comeback.

[Sauru]

i wonder if green has to kick someone in the face before they do something to stop this shit

[NovU]

I miss the days when there used to be enforcers who would put players like Green in his place. Can you imagine what would have happend if he was acting all wacko with Charles Oakley or Laimbeer around? Today you call Barnes an enforcer but I think he's closer to being a troll.

[Sauru]

just saying if he kicked bird in the nuts like this he might have ended up with a broken jaw.

[Andrew]

I imagine he'd be knocked silly the first time he flexed.

[Andrew]

That dunk by Adams...

[Andrew]

Huge fourth quarter coming up, to put it mildly.

[Andrew]

Wow, Thunder just threw away the series. Can't see the Warriors losing Game 7 in Oakland. Cavs/Warriors rematch in the Finals.
