Warriors: vs Thunder - 2016 Playoffs - Western Final Series Thread

[Arcadian]

Much better than game 1 vs SA

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

This is what happens when your a one trick pony with the 3 point shot and you go cold.

Don't forget the turnovers that OKC feasted on for transition points. That's what happened to them last year against the Grizz.

currys shot

[~O~]

That's game. Loss by hubris.

[Beaverfuzz]

This game shows you how important size is. Durant and Westbrook shot around 30 percent and OKC is still going to win due to second chance points.

Size and just a little bit of speed. OKC was always a dominant team, they just never finished games up like that.

Well there a cry goes out in DC, NY, LA and SA

Durant aint leaving ...

Well, I mean, was it a bad call? How about Iggy foul on the dunk they said was not in act of shooting? 30+ FT's on the road too. It's pretty crazy

I'm not sure if the league wants a longer series or if they don't want KD to leave OKC, maybe they want KD vs LeBron again. Who knows, but whatever is, they are untouchable.

[Neurosis]

I have to admit, when the playoffs first started I thought Billy Donovan was in over his head but he's starting to look like a real NBA-ready coach at this point. Props to that dude, making good adjustments and keeping his team playing winning ball.

That's game. Loss by hubris.

Agreed they went for to many homerun shots

This series will be interesting it's basically small ball vs big ball. If OKC wins the league will go back to playing big ball. If GS wins then small ball is here to stay.

[HI-FI]

If Warriors blow this series, it'll make me feel a lot better as a Spursfan. Still think it's Warriors in 7 but this could be a shocker.

like the Spurs had a chance to sign him after ting the bed last round

[tholdren]

FTA.... if you don't understand where KL needs to go by now, you never will

Oh it is, but I'm just laughing because as much as the Spurs played like crap and deserved to lose, critical end of game misses by the refs are affecting the playoffs.

I'm sure the Dubs will make a lot more noise tbh.

[Kawhitstorm]

Playoff Choker Klay showed up in the 2nd half & got his lunch eaten by Westbrick.

[ViceCity86]

2016 Thunder are 2011 Mavsneque

Role players stepping up when they failed in years past.Guys underachieving in regular season,then stepping up in playoffs.

[Trainwreck2100]

Clearly the nba office underestimated okc. The memos will go out GS will win the next four

[davethedope]

it's true the refs were all over this one, but the sloppy gsw play just made it that much easier and then the sending Adams to the line like he's shaq. Total rigged giveaway

[Capt Bringdown]

Warriors the luckiest, streakiest, one-dimensional "champion" ever. Up until they're not.

[Thebesteva]

Gotta give this OKC team credit...

[hitmantb]

Seriously this OKC team is looking like 2008-2010 Lakers with the size inside to dominate the boards. Durant/Westbrook shot 30% each and they still won.

Warriors didn't take them seriously, behind the back pass and stuff, they are NOT playing Rockets/Blazers anymore, here is a team with equal or better talents, and arguably better constructed.
