Official Thread (2016 Western Conf. Finals): Warriors vs. Thunder

It was like they were waiting for the Warriors to stop throwing punches to hit them with a knock out, which is exactly what happened.

The Warriors need all the 50-50 balls. They need to get rebounds, not out rebound OKC, but at least fight for them on the defensive end - starting Green at SF and Ezile at PF might be the solution.

On D, while I believe Westbrook was classless to laugh at Curry's D, I think Klay should handle him all game. No need for Curry to waste energy and cost the team points when Westbrook drives. I do not think Klay will stop him, the guy is not normal, but at least he will make him work for every shot and layup he takes.

Finally, and since I did not post in this thread before, I do not think the Warriors are down 3-2 cause they are tired or cause Curry might be hurt. OKC have put on a clinic for most of the series and if they win tonight it's cause they fully deserve it.

Oh and one more thing for the Spurs fan that said the Warriors are finally playing their first playoff team in 2 years. You are obviously clueless. The Rockets team last year knocked out Clippers who knocked out the Spurs. If any of those "playoffs" teams were good enough, they would have made it to the WCF and played and beat this "weak" Warriors team. Your argument, or lack of, can work on any team in NBA history. If you want to be negative and soar you can find something to point out in every NBA team that ever won a title. What if this player did not get injured, what if that team did not miss so many shots. What if Fisher did not hit that 0.3 sec shot

Haha you are more pathetic than I thought.

[drobfan8]

Massive game and I can't help but think GS will pull through. It's meant to be. Best season record of all time, ratings on the line for the NBA, a rematch with LeBron awaits. I think they pull it off. I'm not sure if they beat the Cavs or not though. There's plenty of people around here that say he's the greatest of all time.

If GS lose it will be one of the biggest choke jobs of a season I've ever witnessed. Record breaking team cruises through 2 rounds and then loses at the first real hurdle.

Everytime you were cornered in an argument you either point out Grammer or personally attacked me. You are pathetic with zero contributions to the community aside from your butt soar comments in other team's thread. And call me a douche bag in my face you piece of #@#@#@#@. Try that that.

Man I actually think you've got me mixed up with someone else.

I remember you very weakly trashing the Spurs in that thread once they lost and then I was shown your recent issue with the accounts which is a bad look. I'm not one to point out grammatical errors as there's so many people on here that have English as their second language.

But I think we all know what you're really about by now.

[exoticprince]

I really wanna see a Lebron KD showdown. But I'm concerned whether okc will pull through when in really counts. If they don't close it out tonight they have no one to blame but themselves and KD's days in okc will be coming to an end

Whatever. I am just going to block you and move on. No point arguing with a creature like you.

Biggest choke jobs? I'm not sure abut that... They've got one big man, bogut, and feature green as their big man at times. They're vastly undersized and I believe you've got always got a chance if you can get big men inside.

I thought Portland was a very difficult matchup and that Houston isn't a cakewalk either. Both teams have squads that post future HOF type players (Dwight, lillard and harden - if they keep on pace). Lillard is extremely underrated, he proved me wrong majorly this season. I consider them a 4/5 seed next season.

These are all just flat out excuses. You're now using GS strengths as weaknesses? Come on. They're flexibility is their strength and to say they have one big man is a joke, some were saying Mo Speights could get 6th man of the year and Ezeli is all of a sudden a scrub now? Wow.

Record breaking teams don't lose. Think the Bulls and Celts that have the next best records. They got the rings.

Almost nobody thought OKC would get through these guys. I believe 4-1 was the consensus.

Yes, this would be a choke job of a season, just like it was when Dallas lost to GS after winning 67 games and just like when the Spurs lost to Dallas as the 2nd seed one year.

If you are referring to my post I specifically said first test. Then proceeded to define what I meant by test. I did that because there is this habit of twisting words statement to fit an agenda. Then to make some weird "they beat them, who beat them, who beat them" statements that has no relevance whatsoever. Sports isn't relational like that but that wasn't my point to begin with. But I can't control how words are interpreted. This is the first time this team has had to win out to avoid elimination. Coupled with the fact that the opposing team is not injured. That does put them in an unique position. Had a Warriors fan said the same, there would be no debate. I don't mind the debate, but at least use what I said, not what you think I meant

Yeah I probably misread that then. But I also do not believe it's the first test, but that is your opinion. At the end of the day, like you said above, this is the first time this team have faced elimination and against a top team (a team that caught fire at the right time). If they win this series, it's going to prove a lot of people wrong, if they don't however I do not think it takes away anything from last year's ring or the 73 in season.

Let's watch and enjoy the game tonight OKC proved me wrong last series, and could do it again today.

Agreed. It's far from over. I'm not sure what has gotten into okc but they are playing well. I'm glad GS brought it in game 5 and hope game 6 is just as competitive. Should be a good one!

While I will hate it, I am predicting a OKC blowout. Let's see though. Enjoy.

Are you the same guy that was a Pistons super fan?

I may be mistaken...

[Nyfancam01]

GO THUNDER!!!!

Close these guys out and destroy the night of many BANDWAGON warriors fans! What a stupid nickname "dubs" btw also. Bandwagon "dubs" fans can get a CAVS or THUNDER jersey now lol

I think you were mistaken. When Karen Davidson let Chauncey Billups get traded for no reason, that ruined the Pistons for me, I guess I'd root for them to win if they're good, but I have no emotional attachment to them anymore.

I was simply just going to follow Draymond Green once he got drafted (my all-time favorite athlete), but as I was watching the Warriors games, I really liked the group and just jumped on the wagon. I didn't think they'd win a title 3 years later, but it happened. Even when Mark Jackson was doing ISO ball, they were still really fun to watch.

A lot of sub posting from you. Not a good look.

[Rip67vdub]

Can't wait for the game. Hopefully, Dubs can pull out this win. Have a great Memorial weekend fellow boardies. Be safe.

[Qwasian]

OKC close it out tonight........ on to the finals!!!

Not trying to start anything, but I'm just curious why and how you get upset about "bandwagon" fans? You will admit yourself that you don't actually like a certain team and that your favorite team is whoever lebron plays for. Isn't that a bandwagon fan?? It's like Hillary saying she hates liars lol

I'm sorry but saying they are undersized and using that as an excuse is ridiculous. All year people have said they have changed the game. They've driven teams to go small. That their ability to move quickly up and down the court was their biggest strength. Nobody could matchup with their size and speed. Now it's their weakness since another team decided to get physical? I think a lot of people have said that throughout the year, OKC just had the personal to do it.

Golden State is a great team. Better than the 95-96 Bulls? No way. If they don't win he title this year then this season really doesn't mean anything. If you think it does, go ask the Patriots how 18-1 feels.

[moose84]

Got OKC tonight!
