Great Game. Klay Thompson was Awesome...
I love when basketball extends, especially when the games are good...
OKC has a large mountain to climb now... but its achievable...

Lesson learned, it aint over until its over...

Looking forward to game 7 & the finals....
 
Durant as great as he is, does not have the killer instinct.
Curry on the other hand, does.

Looking forward to game 7.

In this series, Durant is killing OKC. OKC was terrible shooting 3's in this game, 3-23. Curry/Klay 17-31.
 
feel bad for OKC and their fans, looks like its gonna slip away barring a miracle

<maybe I just jinxed GS>

Really hard to disbelieve nba outcomes come playoff time aren't "influenced" towards big market teams and more marketable match ups.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The Warriors are perfectly capable of winning 3 in a row. It's OKC's MO to choke in the playoffs so here is their chance to break the cycle.

I stand corrected! I'm not sure though, what they will have left for a healthy and well rested Cavs. I think Cavs in 6, though I would like to see Warriors repeat.

Curry is dealing with some injuries, and OKC is playing better basketball..
Simple... It doesn't degrade Curry... he usually uses an in and out dribble to create his shot at the arc (he's generally not a spot up for whomever said that)... and he usually penetrates deep finishing with style around the hoop... we're not seeing much of that... credit OKC, but also the elbow and ankle isn't helping...

No matter... OKC is playing better, and is on the verge... but i'd caution anyone for calling it over...
there is a reason why we play the games..


A Toronto v OKC is a nightmare for advertisers... but a refreshing surprise for the hardcore fan... and people in those regions...

Well, you were right, da man.

Thankfully, the finals will be what everyone wanted and expected to see.
I was surprised at OKC's ability to limit GSW's shooters; I don't think the Cavs will be as effective on D, so if the shooters are on, it's the warriors in 5 or 6.

Cavs are a better 3pt shooting team than OKC in my opinion.

I actually think the Cavs are equal to the task defensively. Klay Thompson struggled mightily last year in the finals..And Curry had to deal with Deladova, who is like a nat.

My opinion last year was if Love (ugh), and Kyrie were healthy, the Cavs would have won. Kyrie is soooooo underrated. He killed GS before fracturing his knee cap in game one.. a game they possibly would have won. This year, I think it goes 6 or 7... I'm picking the Cavs... but not with out knowing the champs are the camps for a reason.... this is gonna be the series we shoulda got last year...

It will be a good series, I root for no one... I'm just enjoying the games. :)


Ben Simmons & Embiid... coming soon! :D
 
Warrriors should beat the Lebron led Cavs.

Again.

Yay.

More boring Lebron teams going to the finals and being beaten.


OKC is a joke, quite frankly.

Blowing a 3-1 lead is just absolutely stupid. Everyone around here is worrying about KD leaving and stuff. Who cares? You can't win with KD so it's not like when he's gone, and you still can't win, that anything has changed.

They don't have any guys on the OKC squad that are killers. They never have.

They will get KD for one more year. He'll sign a 1 year deal this offseason so he can play one final year in OKC with Westbrook. Then next summer they're both going to leave.

I sense some Okie anger. Is that the prevailing spirit up there regarding the Thunder? Are the locals wanting to rebuild, or just lamenting the inevitable loss of Westy and KD?

LoL. GS made their 3's, OKC didn't as much. Not rocket science.
