Official 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Conference Finals: Warriors / Thunder | Cavs / Raptors

[Peep Game]

Klay gonna snatch his jersey off after the next game's loss and demand a trade.

IF you paid attention you'd know lebron wasn't mvp in 2011. SMH do you watch basketball?

What about Game 5 in Boston in 2010? 15/6/7, 3/14 shooting and the disengagement along with the worst home playoff loss in franchise history. The infamous "quit" game. Does that not ring a bell?

73 wins is a nice achievement. Any team would trade that for the championship though.

obviously... 

 

[everysingletime]

If the Dubs lose on Thurs, no one on that team is going to bring up the 73 win season again

When historians look up this season they'll be focusing more on the fact that the Warriors lost to the thunder than the season itself.

The championship is the difference between remembering the team as one of the best teams ever or being remembered as a team of choke artists

These are just facts.

I could see Warriors winning game 5 and Draymond getting suspended for game 6

 

[WASHED KING]

 
You made 40 points but miss the game winner.

 
emotions is why you can't understand i don't give a **** about what people think 

i give zero damns about the Warriors 

i dont care about history tho.... team made history... the end.

it's pretty simple. 

does it carry the same feelings about the Bulls if they lose..... OF COURSE NOT 

we all agree on that ..... but y'all trying to act like facts aren't facts 

73 wins being the best record in NBA history is not debatable 

YES they have the best regular season record we all know it is HISTORY...but with no chip its empty and meaningless to them, fellow NBA players, and fans. They don't get a banner, no parade, no White House Visit, All the media is going to talk about is "What could have been", "The team that lost focus chasing 73 wins", "Steph's dissapearance"....at the end of the day 73 with no chip might as well be 45.

 

[EddieDoyers]

back to back L's, I can't relate.

you about to learn that feel tomorrow 

Naw, we got winning tomorrow

[7th Chamber]

Enjoy looking at your 73 wins in the record books.

 

[Peep Game]

looks like the chip is gift wrapped for lebbie

I have no idea why yall saying this.. The Thunder might sweep the Cavs in the finals

Wouldn't say sweep at all, but KD better not bow down and shiver in fear to Lebron, or else OKC will have a repeat of the last time they were there

 

[son nelly]

@espn

In the last 2 games, OKC's lineup of Westbrook, Waiters, Roberson, Durant & Ibaka has outscored the Warriors 91-35.

 

[IATT]

Where the folks that were pontificating on a 'gentlemen's sweep' for GS after game 2?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

 

the real death lineup.

see... this is exactly my point 

y'all always acknowledge the FACT.... then start rambling on about other **** .... what emotions and opinions the record with no ring means

that's irrelevant.... that's not my argument 

i said the record means something because it's a historic record in a major NBA category ...THAT'S IT ... stop there.... the end 

don't go telling me how fans see it... how NBA analysts see it..... how fans see it.... etc 

 

[everysingletime]

Maybe GS should try going big. KD will go off even more but at least they can get rebounds?

Sports is all about emotions lol..can't have sports without them. This isn't history class.

That steph run lol

 

[nick.]

Being up 3-1 on the Warriors is like being tied 2-2 with any other team

 

[a-friend]

Where the folks that were pontificating on a 'gentlemen's sweep' for GS after game 2?

OKC won the Turnover battle again.

That defense is looking right, The effort of Defense at least, which is 70% of it

 

[everysingletime]

I thought Steph was going to go off once he hit that 3 at the end of the half smh

 

[Peep Game]

LMAO 

 

[shatterkneesinc]

Luke Walton > Steve Kerr

 

[young_keafor24]

I thought Steph was going to go off once he hit that 3 at the end of the half smh

And russell westbrook shot that hope right out of the sky after he hit one with 2.5 secs left to go
