Thunder are peaking at the right time, obviously. Much better team than their regular season form.
Man if the Thunder ring going through the 67 win Spurs, 73 win Warriors, and then the Cavs without homecourt that would be such a ridiculous le run.

The Thunder can shoot the ball in the air and then it goes in the hoop. It's pretty cool.
On par with the '95 Rockets.
You never heard of the rapper Petey Pablo? I thought you were a hip-hop head son?
Can't trust a team that choked against the Cripples:
The same Cripples that blew a 23 point lead at home:
This is GS we are talking about here a who can score in bunches real quick.
They are he only team to EVER face two 65+ win teams in the same postseason.
If OKC beats the warriors it'll be just like when the warriors upset the mavs. Like GS back then the thunder are using ball to win.
Maybe the Spurs aren't the pile of crap some of the ST "fans" make them out to be. The Thunder needed several BS calls and 35 foot prayers to get thought that series.
Oh now you're an OKC Fan.![]()
spursfan should stop playing what-ifs..We were going nowhere with our ty back-court and decrepit bigs..it is all about the matchup and we really don't have the horses to shake this Warriors team..OKC are much better equipped to run them ragged (and maybe still lose in 7)..
Keep praying, scrah.

That OKC turnover was comical. Shaqtin' a Fool material.
Assuming Durant signs a one year deal at 30% of a $92 million cap = $27.6 million, they'll be over the cap but have the MLE to add a wing to the rotation. Could also resign Waiters and potentially stay under the tax.
Problem will be once Durant AND Westbrook each are eligible for the 35% supermax of a higher cap one year from now, and the Thunder are forced to match a crazy offer sheet for Adams. Assuming a $107 million cap:
$37.4mm Durant
$37.4mm Westbrook
$17.9mm Kanter
$17.5mm Adams (assume he'll get at least the same offer sheet as Kanter)
$15.0mm Ibaka (FA the same year - conservative estimate)
======
$125.3mm on just those five guys. Odds are they won't be able to afford both Adams and Ibaka.
Compare that to $21.5 + $18.9 + $15.4 + $10.0 for Aldridge, Leonard, Parker and Green = $65.8 million the year the cap jumps. Thank goodness for locking guys in before the big jump. Parker's contract can even be stretched to bring the total for those three below $60 million.
(Directionally correct, others around here that know the nuances a bit more can correct)
Los Angeles Warriors not looking too good, eh?
Greatest run of all time, easily.
Not to mention Pop and his "it's just basketball" coaching. Mills/Parker would have been on Curry/Livingston the whole time.
This. We didnt play all that poorly until game 6. Before that we got jobbed in Game 5 and 2 and clowned them by 40 in game 1. And we got reffed late in game 4. So tbh, we couldve easily knocked them out. But we had our worst performance last so everyone overreacted to that.
With a rookie head coach too. It would be one of (if not THE) greatest playoff run in history.
Klay is the Duncan of SGs. He's fundamentally sound.
No just enjoy seeing "the best team of all time" getting crushed.
The hype machine has been pimping GSW all year. It will be interesting to see how they process an OKC series win, if it happens.
Since they've posited GSW as the greatest team of all-time, if OKC wins, it must be the biggest upset in NBA history.
