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

[Robotech]

You buy tickets with seats assigned just like a regular game. But they are way cheaper, mine were nosebleed for $20. But since the game is up high on the big screen being up high is actually a better seat.

Yeah, courtside seats seem kinda pointless.

well a bunch of times he's not getting the foul calls when he should be.....and some other times he gets tentative, as if he's expecting to get fouled......and the shot doesn't drop for whatever reason. He actually has improved every yr he's been in the league.

He just doesn't seem to be going up strong for whatever reason. You figure that someone like him is good for one or two dunks a game.

And his age is a big selling point. 23 says he could breakout any year now.

I've seen him have some monster games...this season, and in the last few as well.

If he does end up w/ another team, I think his PPG & RPG #'s will definitely increase.

Yeah, he's younger than some rookie players.

We definitely need a few more monster games from him if we are to finish the job on this dream season.

Barnes showed his potential early...and since the injury never got back to his true form. I wish him luck if he leaves but won't shed any tears.

 

[Heatles84]

So OKC choked big time. Not sure they'll get a better chance to finish off the Dubs than they had tonight.

Monday will be interesting.

 

[Heatles84]

Also, I have trouble seeing the Warriors losing twice at home in one series. But if there's a team that could do it, it would be the Thunder depending on which version of Durant and Westbrook come on Monday.

There's probably about a 50/50 chance he remains w/ GS....but teams like the Suns, Pelicans, Blazers, Bucks, Hawks & Knicks would benefit with someone like him on their roster.

I still can't believe that just happened. I have no words

Is it possible that the 2 best pure shooters in the history of the game are teammates?

Klay started out SOOOO bad, I thought the Dubs had no chance. Then he made one in the second, and it just looked so pretty, I thought he might have found it. At the same time, Curry started dropping his post-whistle 3-shots, and you just knew the two were going to start splashing...

 

[Robotech]

If you go on the Wikipedia page for Oklahoma City right now, you'll see that it says that the mayor is Klay Thompson. I don't know why I think that's so funny, but I do.

Yep...and it was awesome watching it unfold. Klay setting the NBA postseason record for made 3's in a game of that magnitude with their backs against the wall...and it being on the road, was nothing short of incredible & phenomenal.
And let's not overlook the fact Steph ended up just 1 assist shy of a triple double.

 

[msgkings322]

I disagree. Watching at home is ALWAYS the best seat.
Now the environment is different AT the game, without a doubt.

That's what I'm saying the environment was almost exactly like a live game

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

• Chris Broussard spoke to the Thunder in the locker room after their Game 6 loss to the Warriors and says the vibe was one of "dejection."

• Klay Thompson wasn't entirely satisfied with his NBA playoff-record 11 3-pointers in Game 6. "I should have had at least 13 because I missed some wide-open looks early," the Warriors guard said.

That was an epic game. It will be very interesting to see how OKC responds on Monday. KD and Westbrook have far too much fight to lay down, but they have to be spent emotionally. They had the game won.

By the way, I think it is unfair to say the Thunder choked. The turnovers after GS went up 5 were pretty bad, but really GS just went and took that game in a way that only they can.

 

[tlance]

Primarily Durant can sleep with this loss on his mind tonight.

Regardless of what happens Monday, OKC fans would be advised to learn from Raptor fans. Right now, you need to go out of your way to support KD and the rest of the team. If this core stays together, they will be championship contenders for the next 5 years and will likely get at least 1 under Donovan.

If you do anything but show love and respect for KD at this juncture, you may well push him out of town. No, he did not play well last night, but you would not be in this position without him.

Shut yo ass up. I'm sick of you hatin then trying to act like you knew they could do it. We don't need supporters like you. Stick to supporting your Heat.

Relax, the warriors are not your older brother, they dont even know who you are.
