Probably, but yeah the runs nowadays can be huge. Teams go on 15-0, 18-2, 13-1 runs............ *shrugs*
always been that way but I think the 3 pointer has made stopping runs even more critical ...

So by saying Westbrook is in 2009 Kobe mode, you actually means just that he reminds you of the Kobe in 2009, which to any normal human being cannot be the case. And then it was the issue with my arguments, not with your ability to express your points clearly.Seriously, Amb without your favorite whipping boy your arguments are . If you were dumb I would feel sorry for you and move on but I know I shouldn't need to spell out that when I say he is in Kobe 2009 mode or say he is the wannabe Kobe that I putting a little extra on the first point and did not mean he was a carbon copy. HE REMINDS me of Kobe. That is is it. Russ is so unique even if Kobe is the one that I see the he really is more of a hybrid of Kobe/Lebron/Iverson just tough to find a close comparison but Kobe is who comes to mind me first.
I am done on that subject so please move on because I already spent more than i planned to on a retired player in a gamethread... if you dont have anything to contribute to the Russ has been more impactful debate or about players in this series please start another thread to discuss the retired player. I made the comparison but I was speaking about the greatness of Russ you of course has to make it about your "favorite player" or try to engage me in measuring contest where you will always come up short ...
Kidding. Let's move on cuz I know you, and this will keep going on for days and you are pulling it away from series debates.
So to reset ...
Again i feel Russ has been the BEST player in this series please tell me why you disagree amb?
And no surprises Kobe comes to your mind first, you are a Kobe fan, we all know that, so everything reminds you of Kobe. You can see a rock on the ground and it reminds you of Kobe. You can see a dog devouring his food and Kobe immediately springs to mind, thinking "Damn, this dog is chewing up it's food in 2003 Kobe mode"! But mind you, it's just your opinion that it reminds you of it, and you are not drawing any parallels.
As for Russ being more impactful or not, I guess I can agree on that. he's been impactful, but OKC still wouldn't win anything without the role players stepping up, which they have certainly done. I still think Durant is overall the better player, but Westbrook is playing like a man possessed.
"One time, I saw this gorilla and it reminded me of Kobe" (well it was just an article I read and I'm not racist, I just thought it was funny so I posted) saying someone else sees Kobe everywhere ... Talk about pot meets kettle ...
again no issue with the other comparisons I made were they all spot on?
where is the diatribe on me comparing Durant to Dirk in 2011?
how about the Mavs bench to OKC's they are also not an EXACT parallel ...
Ok, let me stop ... cuz you will just wind back up ....
Please move on especially if you are going back in to your well of ty analogies.
Saying Durant is the overall better player was not my point (but it's debatable). I do think Durant is the clear #1 still. I think Wesbrook still impacts the game in more ways but because Durant is so good at scoring/shooting and has improved on defense I would lean Durant if I could only take one. None of that changes my original point.
The question was who was more impactful, you agreed, so thank you for answering ... even if I had to wade through more childish bull to get it.

Eliancito and co will come pit guns blazing. They will be energized by the gots in attendance. But if OKC can stay in the game, not get into foul trouble. They should be fine and will be a clos game
But if okc foes some mental mistakes and dumb fouls. This could be an epic beatdown
hater with all his bases covered now, except the "Eliancito gonna go supernova in the WCF"
He was going to vs Spurs. But we ed it up
I called Warriors to win this series before it started btw and sticking to my prediction. Always do. But rooting for OKC to pull off the miracle
Again, you absolutely misinterpreted what was said. It was about a demographic that appreciated the beauty of a gorilla also appreciating Kobe. it was an observation, and it's more about the demographic than Kobe, but it just flew over your head.
I didn't say EXACT parallel, I said some parallel, and I do see those.
Durant is a shooting PF who is stretching the floor and nailing shots consistently at a high rate. I don't see him being nearly as clutch or as offensively dominant as 2011 Dirk, but I do see the parallels.
The Mavs and OKC bench I misread as role players, and I do see parallels in how they stepped up, nailing 3 pointers at a high rate and defending the rim with gusto. I have no issues with those.
I never even said I disagreed, it's you insisting that I disagree.Ok, let me stop ... cuz you will just wind back up ....

"You fail me yet again, Starscream" - Megatron from the comics movies etc.
But let's just move on ...
Make a prediction on tonight's game. Amb.
I expect GSW to win by the hair with some controversial calls in Q4, along with a 20FTA difference between the two teams, with GSW getting the benefits.
I am not trying to be smartass, I really really expect that.
I expect a close game too.
Not sure If I should trust 73 games to say the Dubs will find a way to win a close game ...
Or what my eyes are telling me is that the Dubs appear done without A cavs from last night like first half explosion ...
GSW are clearly shook, and they are really bothered by the length of OKC. That's why I said the role players have a huge role. Guys like Adams, Ibaka and kanter are just roughing them up, and GSW can't get a rebound to save their lives it seems. Not sure what is wrong with Curry, but I am surprised he was this easily intimidated. If he goes supernova for 3 straight games, then GSW will certainly have a chance to win this series, but Curry seems to be bothered for whatever reason.

Kobe Bryant reaches out to Draymond Green after Game 4 loss
Kobe Bryant may be out of basketball, but he’s still plugged into the game.
The recently retired former Lakers star texted Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green following his team's Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma city Thunder in an attempt to challenge him.
“If making history was easy, why bother?” Green said Bryant texted him after Game 4.
What time is game 6 tbh?
not going to be a game 6
Bogut has been really disappointing this series. I know he's not 100%, but his job is to rebound and set hard screens, it's not like they're dumping the ball to him on the block every possession or anything.
Barbosa gonna get minutes tonight and have the game of his life
Warriors strategy for this game to chuck 3s?
OKC coasting
Onto game 6
Lol refs
Adams taken out of the game very quickly... Drayflop still kicking his legs out smh
Yep it's gonna be a fix kinda game
No way OKC win this game, they should be already planning game 6.
