I thought for sure the Warriors would mop up with OKC whom are playing their best ball right now. And with Toronto now putting up a fight, we may just have a OKC-Toronto final.
If the Raptors make the NBA finals, Toronto is going to be on fire!! It'll be like Trinidad carnival up in here. It'll be tough to win tonight on the road but they may have the momentum.
Yeah, I don't think that was ever anything more then a bullet point for Talking Heads on Sports Radio and TV to discuss. I don't think anybody ever considered them better then that Bulls team, wins record or not. The Mariners won 116 games one season. Nobody for a second ever considered them the greatest Baseball team in history.
Gotta give Billy Donovan big credit for his job getting that team to player better defensively. Their offensive sets still leave a lot to be desired but you can't Knock success if they beat a 67 win and 73 win team
this is some bullshit... Derozan and Lowry only play at home. There shouldn't be such a big discrepancy just because you are playing on the road. Jordan got fired up by that. What's wrong with those dudes???
Seattle lost to Golden State because of the floor just like how Joppy lost to Trinidad because of the ring
I have a ridiculous theory to add to this home/away trend. Perhaps it's as much to do with the colours that they wear as much as it is about wanting to perform in front of the home crowd?
Still rooting for Golden State, but I have a feeling OKC takes it tonight. Westbrook has that unquenchable hate for his opponent in his eyes right now. He's going to be a madman trying to will his team to win on home court. Only question will be if he can keep it somewhat under control enough to not play too reckless. Curry just does not look right enough lately to really elevate his team right now.
Okc should blown this game open in the second half. They're up despite durant chucking up a dozen bad shots
phonetap predicted the amount of games wrong but he stands forever by his OKC will always find a way to disappoint. Sorry but they can't be trusted. give them credit for taking it 7 games...
Klay Thompson was the man tonight no doubt. Westbrook is a bad bad boy though. If Durant wasn't such a pre madonna, OKC probably would have won
I agree. I was never totally in the belief we would win this series. If anything this whole series, the Warriors were beating themselves by missing shots they normally make. I thought we may win this game if they continue to beat themselves but I was never comfortable with a mere ten point lead. Adams and especially Ibaka disappeared. Playing Morrow was a horrible decision in a deciding series as he did more for the other team then for us. With a slight lead, 3 minutes to go and Durant with the ball I predicted out loud that a game changing turnover or steal was about to happen and it's exactly what occurred. The real reason we lost this game is because Durant hasn't played great at all.
This series is over now. I guarantee GS wins the next one, in fact I predict they blow OKC out. GSWs haven't played much like themselves and I think the next game they will, as they have the momentum, confidence and home court advantage and next game they'll be hitting all those shots they normally make but have been missing in this series. Ibaka is going to continue to shrink from the moment and Durant hasn't played great yet, no sense in thinking he will now. I actually woke up thinking of all the accomplishments GS has done this season. Coach of the year, first unanimous MVP and of course breaking the single season record. Then it hit me, that becoming another team to overcome the dreaded 3-1 deficit just feels like it's supposed to happen.
The worst decision OKC made was having the defensive stopper Roberson "hack" Bogut to get the fifth foul
durant played like shit that game. very disappointing. donovan alluded to it, but he just was chucking up dumb shots rather than moving the ball to the open guy. he played a very selfish game, particularly in the first half.
GS hasn't been nearly as good as they were but I have learned here that semi-finals don't matter anyways
The NBA Championship should be interesting with whoever wins between these two teams vs the Cavs. It's going to be a great few months for sports. After this bring on Euro 2016, Wimbledon and Olympics!!!!
This game is just a formality, I give OKC 0% chance to win this. I actually wanted to bet $500 on the GSW but not knowing how to do it is what stopped me.
