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

[clarkkent415]

Steph had 26, 10 & 7 on 9/21 shooting... that's far from bad , Turnovers at the end of the game killed them too however...

Also A lot of people are talking about KD/WB shooting bad and missed opps from OKC, but aren't talking about seemingly off nights from everyone on GS not named Klay or Steph & uncharacteristic TO's late in the game. Also people continue to act as if GS CAN"T put together a lineup to combat OKC Bigs. Bogut, Ezeli, Speights & Varajao are probably gonna see a lot more time the next game. I Like OKC but the chances of the warriors role players stepping up >>>>> OKC's continuing to make plays.

Very true but in the end the turnovers, not demanding the ball, Westbrook going off, and just chucking was bad.

I'm still sick about this loss

 

[jballer20]

That reverse lay up by Draymond still makes me smh haha
why go for that
that was the end, those 3's aren't odd, they only look odd when they don't make it

Westbrook is right, they played a horrible game and still won



Ainge sweatn'

 

[dland24]

Steph got cooked in the 3rd qtr by Russ and had a horrible 4th especially by his standards.

Bogut's health may be an issue going forward. It's not enough just to have big bodies, they need to be active; if GS is forced to go away from what got them 73 wins, it'll be time to hit the panic button.

My issue with this statement is the fact that Bogut was completely irrelevant in the 3 games we beat the Thunder this season.  He played very little in those games.  So I personally dont see how him playing or not playing will be an issue.

It was in response to the guy that said GS has bigs to counter OKC. Last night was the first time maybe all season that GS's death small ball lineup had a negative rating and in part because of OKC stayed with theirs down the stretch. That length was a factor on the boards as well as GS trying to finish inside. I don't think Kerr is going to panic and switch it up though. They've gone 81-12 this season with them playing a certain way, but if he does try to match-up with OKC, it would be a panic move. And like Dre said, one that I think OKC would welcome.

Ray Allen is a better shooter than Steph Curry

so if both teams missed opportunities, then what are we talking about?

And if the Warriors remove a shooter from the floor to matchup with OKCs bigs, then OKC is ecstatic

Well his team was going far in those years. I'll never knock high post counts cause I've posted a ton.

 

[abematic]

We all remembered what happened to OKC after the first game against the Spurs....


Don't be that person.

 

[gvhp2223]

Y'all are laughing at @GVHP2223for saying KD made clutch shots in the 4th, but he watched the same game I did, because it's true.

He only made 1 in Crunch time or two(maybe FT's but let's not include those) but it made it a 2 possesion game with like a minute left.

He made a couple early in the 4th before building a house, too, one was to tie and the other to take the lead. There were few but clutch AF

Ya dudes on NT don't know how to watch basketball games nor read.

I DID NOT say that KD made clutch shots.

I was laughing at the dude who said KD made clutch shots in the 4th.

KD had a forgettable 4th quarter. Stop it.

[wavycrocket]

Went to sleep in the middle of the 3rd qtr when Russ started getting it going...but didn't think the dubs would lose . What happened?

Draymond was taking some terrible shots thru the first 3 quarters. Trying to attack "mismatches" isn't his strength.

Sup with jumpman from the bay? He been humbled a Lil bit yet? . It's early in the series...but damn. Can't believe the Warriors would lose a game where KD and Russ shot so poorly.

 

[dragicon]

I dont think people learned to not judge a series by the first game

People haven't even learned to not judge a series before it starts 

People were calling the series over in the first half last night

 

[dman14]

okc is in great shape if they stay big, even when the 3s are raining for the w's
most teams just dont feel comfortable. yes, green can score on adams, but you live with that.

gsw in 4...i mean 5

My dude has had like 3 different SN's so you would have to add up all those.

If you don't know how to talk about the playoffs, you don't HAVE to post something.

There are others trying to talk about the playoffs.

Wouldn't be a problem if it were scattered here and there, but now y'all just want to talk about one dude like this is his dedication thread.

Nah, man.

Game tonight, game last night. Thoughts?

I believe that the Cleveland Cavs will end up winning the game if they outscore the Toronto Raptors.

 

[moe200069]

as an A's and 49ers' fan, I usually can't stand Jumpman since he can be delusional as any of yall on here (myself included). but damn, yall on his scrotum extra hard.

 

[dmvisrnb]

If OKC pulls this series off they're winning it all. Book it.

This. So many delusional people have written them off like they don't have 2 top 5 players on their team. Like this isn't the 1st playoffs where they have ALL been healthy since when they went to the Finals.

I also find it hilarious that you dudes are so convinced LeBron is gonna run away with it and sweep OKC if they make the Finals. Oh yeah...the team that hypothetically beats 73-9 and 67-15 (both were 39-2 and 40-1 at HOME this season), including 3 times in their gym when they lost 3 times at home ALL season.

Some of your opinions aren't even rational or based on basketball and what is actually happening on the court right NOW [emoji]128514[/emoji]. Saying that the Cavs will sweep OKC because LeBron is their Daddy is ridiculous. Bron beat them when they were 22 years old. Westbrook is on a whole nother planet than back in the 2012 finals...and he still gave the Heat 43 in one of those games as well. Bron don't have nothing for that boy and especially not mentally.

Anyway, that is really irrelevant because GS ain't goin nowhere. I'm just stunned by some of the commentary is all

 

[paulwest1985]

I was going for the spurs to win it all. But after seeing OKC play I'm convinced that they have the drive to win it all. I believe they will beat the warriors in 6. They had Golden State playing out of rhythm last night.

Let's discuss in the non-playoff thread or the Lakers thread. 

 

[dmxfury]

It would be cool to see OKC win it all when they were forgotten and overlooked this year due to SA, Cle and GS
