did we really play okc better or are they just playing even better against GS?

[SAGirl]

I disagree. SA defense was legit, even with hobbled Tim. Look at what SA did to OKC offense vs what GS did. SA had success vs GS on defense in RS as well. Could SA have scored enough? Doubtful, but I think SA would have made it compe ive (even if not as compe ive as OKC did).

Scoring was always the issue with us outside the big 2 (see all the threads criticizing the committee, etc.) The other issue was the bench reliance on Manu and the turd towers.

It is all moot..I'm kinda at peace with getting bounced because we were pretenders at core, and GSW would have shredded our sorry asses..

I agree but my point was that OKC looked LEGIT b/c Curry wasn't anywhere close to a 100% which snowballed into exposing GayMond & fueling OKC's transiton game b/c of their missed shots / turnover, otherwise even the Spurs could have beaten 'em despite Tim being crippled.
