Series Thread: Western Conference Finals: OKC Thunder VS Golden State Warriors

[Demonjoe93]

This Golden State strategy tonight might just work
They played big. They attacked and dominated the paint with in/out passing and postups.

They made OKC shoot from the outside and even played some zone at times to make it happen
This was the first game where GSW found something they might be able to exploit.

I wonder if they'll be able to exploit it again in Oklahoma City.

Good call. Live, I thought it was offensive, but looking at the replay, it was a good call.

Very subtle move to the left by Durant.

First time I've ever seen them throw in the towel(sort of) on the death lineup

I don't think so.

Very subtle move to the left by Durant.

I didn't even see him move live. Very sneaky, but the refs caught it.

They have to win this one first. OKC is hanging around.

But, it is definitely something the THUNDER have to address.

This was the first game where GS tested the paint defense and found OKC completely lacking.

They abandoned all their 3 point shooting and found something down low.

over and over posting up....OKC cannot slow it down at all.

 

[Demonjoe93]

I don't think so.

Me neither. It's going to take Golden State's best game of the Playoffs to win that game.

 

[Robotech]

LOL at Green. How do you not finish against a guard?

 

[thunderc]

Good god, run some fricken offense.

 

[bksballer89]

This is really bad Westbrook tonight

 

[romeo212000]

GS keeping them at arms length right now.

 

[thunderc]

Ibaka woke up finally, welcome to the game Serge.

 

[Kold]

Draymond is letting WB punk him on defense, incredible

 

[ChrisWebber]

C'mon Thunder. Do not allow this to go 6.

 

[bksballer89]

Basically when KD/Russ doesn't get much or any help, OKC lose. When they get help they win. 26 minutes and 0 points for Waiters. 3 combined pints for Kanter and Foye in limited minutes.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Russell Westbrook can easily lose game 6 all by himself
He is the secret weapon of both teams

I would not be sleeping too easily if I was OKC.
We have no idea if Good Westbrook or Bad Westbrook shows up.

Both are equally as likely.

OKC might want to try and steal this one rather than rely on game 6.
Make GS choke it tonight.

Yep. Supporting cast has been pretty shitty tonight.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Golden State just can't leave well enough alone.

 

[bksballer89]

Just hanging around keeping pressure on the Warriors

 

[Kold]

Ehh, I don't agree with hack-a-bogut. Maybe Hack-a-ezeli
