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

lol women and their kick to the nuts humor...

course i'm guessing your comeback would've been something like child birth...

Exactly....men know no such pain!

The only thing I disagree with is Mo over Ezeli. When Mo is out there as center there's really no rim protection. I just don't think in this series they can afford that- even with the scoring that Mo will bring.

Oh I should have clarified, I wanted Mo with the second unit, specifically playing the 4, next to Bogut. I was hoping to see a second unit of Curry, Livingston, Barnes, Speights and Bogut.

With my scenario, the first team goes small and Curry gets an early hook to play with the second unit. Having Bogut out there, then using Speights to space at the 4, would help open the court for Curry. I don't want Speights out there at the 5 under any circumstances. Defensively, Bogut would be the rim protector.

Hahaha thanks for clarifying. This makes complete sense and sounds like a strong 2nd unit. I am anxious to see Kerr's adjustments tonight. I wish you had a direct line to him!

What would be even funnier is if the kick landed on one of their own team mates.

Yesterday, Sushi said LeFlop got backhanded by Tristan..

LOL yea he did and they called Toronto for the foul. It was too funny. If nothing else that should've been a no-call IMO.

Cant wait for this game tonight. OKC wins tonight I think its safe to say KD and Westbrook might have taken that next step.

I can't wait either....and maybe KD & RW have risen their game to another level-but even if GS loses tonight this series isn't over. GS is capable of winning consecutive games.

 

[Shanemansj13]

They would suspend that player with hesitation.

Damn phone

Its very close to being over if they lose tonight

Close? Sure in terms of OKC will only need one more win- but saying it's over would be like counting money before it's in your hands. Especially with a team like GS. They've already shown they can beat OKC and can beat them by a pretty sizeable margin. They just need to come out & focus on the task at hand.

Yes close. Beating a team as great as OKC 3 straight times is a tough task. Only thing the Warriors would have in their favor is that they would only need to win 1 road game out of those 3

Nah i agree with the upper post. GS can easily win 3 in a row. They are the defending champs and coming off 73 wins. They are legit team.

Well yea I think beating ANY team in the postseason 3 consecutive games could be considered a tough task...but so was going 73-9 during the reg season and they managed to do that. My point is we can't count them out unless OKC wins 4 games.

Nothing is coming easy for them in this series.

I agree but I can see them winning 3 in a row. OKC needs to keep the foot on the gas. Cant let up not 1 bit.

The only reason I can see it is because they have HCA. If it was vice versa and they needed to win twice in OKC after being down 3-1 then that would be different

Game 2 looked kinda easy for them from the end of the 2nd quarter on.

If they win tonight they'll have HCA again....

I understand that. The conversation was talking about the predicament they would be if they did lose tonight and fell behind 3-1.
