Dubs in 6, Curry with 52 in the close out game![]()
Anything can happen, AJ.
The team, the players, and the fans are trolls. I know a troll when I see, or, hear one. I hate the Suns worse, but, their fans are not as trollish. The team is, the players they have now aren't. Across the spectrum the Spurs are comprehensibly committed to the act of troll.
Dubs in 6, Curry with 52 in the close out game![]()
I'm betting the Warriors in Six. Homer pick is Thunder in Six.
Reality pick is Warriors in 5.
KD could win a game or two by himself but WestBrick might be a disaster in this series on BOTH ends.
KD has owned the Warriors even w/ Iggy on the roster:
Warriors in 7...I'm getting a strange 2011-Mavs vibe from this Thunder team, though...
Durant and Westbrook will turn inward and away from their crew.
Warriors in 6. OKC won't have the athleticism advantage on the dubs like they had on SA. And Westbrook won't be able to get away with shooting 37% against the Dubs either.
The street post out front has more athleticism than SA.
Take the plus but hedge on the other side just to cut some losses
half a week break. The Warriors will be more than ready.
No way. While Durant/WB are great, they don't have the role players IMO. Warriors in 6 or less IMO.
Admittedly, I've taken a hiatus from following the game since I've been overseas (which was convenient cause the Lakers sucked then), so your bball knowledge is more informed then mine. I've been running the last round through my head repeatedly and I'm still in awe over the Spurs-Thunder series. That was the best Spurs team I'd ever seen and a more flawed Thunder team than in past years. Leonard and Aldridge played well enough to win, Danny Green was in playoff form, and even Tony Parker had a couple of unlikely good games in that series. Your bench was awful, but never have I seen a series turn so drastically on one stat: OKC's offensive rebounding. GSW has a propensity to let opposing guards go off on them, and can their Lineup of Death (small ball) work against them against such a historically great rebounding team?
I'm just talking out of my ass since I haven't watched enough NBA this year, but I think the Thunder can push this the distance imo
I would be shocked. Just imagine this: SA held OKC who was the 2nd best offense in the league to under 100 points per game in 4 out of 6. That was even with rebounding being an issue and OKC dominating FT's in 5 of the 6 games. GS is a great defense as well, but on offense, much more potent than SA.
If OKC defends GS like they did SA giving up uncontested looks consistently, GS will kill them. Then GS has more versatility and depth as well.
Perhaps, but it's just wishful thinking on my part that this goes the distance. I love WC basketball, and with 2 aces (KD and WB), you just never know.
If they get the same production on offense from their bench OKC has a good fighting chance.
Foul Trouble for OKC's Bigs will be pivotal because they will need to get the most out of the rebounding and 2nd chance pts.
Westbrook playing like game 5 and 6 against the Spurs shows up
Durant continues to plug away
But most importantly do a better job of turnovers in this series they get those things continuing to go for them, yeah they have decent to good odds to pushing this team of theirs to the finals.
That being said. Golden State Warriors should win this series. They have just looked solid through out.
I'll say Warriors in five. OKC still makes too many stupid turnovers at the end of close games. They have done it all season. They did it in Games 2, 3, and 5, and Golden State always capitalizes when teams try to throw games away. If OKC can pull the upset it'll probably go down as the greatest upset in NBA history, unless it happens because Curry got hurt.
I don't see it, that Mavs team was pretty dominant in their run.
We choked that series, tbh, there's no two ways about it. We should have won. The Dubs won't make that mistake.
I mean, I dunno how Steph's knee is holding up, but that's the only thing that could take this to 5-6 games, IMO
