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

[bksballer89]

Bad end to the half for the Thunder but I don't think they feel too bad about their position. GSW in a must win is having a really tough time.

OKC just need to do what they did in game 2. Just hang around

 

[bksballer89]

That was a foul. Everything going GS's way and only up 8 bc of a late run. The Thunder are in good shape right now honestly

Yeah poor end to the half but all things considered, OKC feels great right now.

I love it!

So you like when players taunt other players when they get hurt. Wow

He was probably in Philly when they were cheering the play that ended Michael Irving's career

Stop it. He didn't taunt anyone being hurt. You're so ridiculous.

Barkley said it, only team that can beat OKC is OKC.

How is Bogut being on the bench with some questionable calls going their way. OKC has the advantage when GS goes small and they go big. Small lineup has to show that they can run with OKC if the W's are going to win.

 

[LAD]

Gotta agree.

Mean mugging, taunting both Adams and Kanter.

I guess he needs to do that to hype himself up.

Whatever it takes....I guess.

I told ya his comments would be whiteboard motivation for someone....self awareness is key.

The Warriors won 73 games this year. I'm pretty sure that they know how to get it done. They figured out a way to exploit the W's small lineup. Now it's Kerr's turn to figure out how to fix that.

 

[thunderc]

All that started with Ibaka being a dumbass. I don't regret keeping him instead of Harden because we got Adams out of it and Harden is a dumbass but I won't be sad to see Ibaka go.

Green said it himself, this is not the same OKC team they saw in the regular season.

 

[LAD]

So Chuck predicted OKC wins the title this year...and we all know how often his predictions come to fruition.

 

[gohusk]

It's a good team. Nobody's going to argue that. But there's a huge leap to saying that they're the best team in the NBA if they don't beat themselves.

 

[CodeBreaker]

Here we go again, GSW with the lead at halftime.

We all know how this will turn out...

 

[msgkings322]

Warriors need to show something more in the 2nd half. They are capable but it's not guaranteed.

 

[LAD]

Green said it himself, this is not the same OKC team they saw in the regular season.

We all can agree on that.

BTW- Green is just being his usual douche bag self that NEVER gives credit or props to the opponent.

Just the way a lot of people see it. They got the best talent top to bottom, 2 of the best 4 or 5 in the world. Hard to find instances of them not turning it over and losing to much of anyone because of how dominant they are on the boards. They play defense now too.

 

[thunderc]

I don't know about the rest of you but I'l take as many of these games as I can get. This is good stuff.

Yeah very fun series so far. Probably goes 7.

Warriors have the deepest bench in the league and the best player in the league. They won 55 games this year. That isn't the best talent top to bottom. And not turning the ball over is a basketball skill. Some players don't figure out how to fix that problem.
