So why aren't more of them getting that many shots?

Average. It's about the average. Most NBA players can do it once in a long while.

Curry does SO MUCH BETTER every single night. My point was that it was abnormal for him. The points were decent, but for him, VERY subpar.

THAT was the point. Not that ''almost any NBA player" could do it on any given night.

Curry NORMALLY does better EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.

Decent/good stats for some, are bad stats for him.

OKC has no chance against LeBron.

Why so sure? I'm intrigued by your confidence. I think you might be right, but OKC is playing at a different level right now, and the open jumpers Cleveland is getting right now against the raps, they will not get against OKC.

I think the only chance they have is if OKC keep playing like this and have no injuries.
If the Warriors are out the league will want their other poster boy to win, which would mean the Thunder aren't just playing against the Cavs......

I think the offense of OKC vs. Cleveland's defense is in OKC's favor, and I also think OKC's defense could be tough for Cleveland. Lebron would have to be, for a lack of a better term, "Jordan-esque", to beat OKC, imo.

But that's just me.

[Mongol]

If okc can beat Spurs, warriors, than of course they could beat the cavs. The ultimate road warriors, not having home court in any of those series.

They're just rolling right now though. Their length and athleticism killed the Spurs and is overwhelming GS. If there's an answer to it, his name is lebron - but with the length to guard the perimeter, and great interior d, that matchup (if it happens) won't be an easy one for Cleveland.

[devo]

Can't believe some people are talking like the series is already over. If GS comes out and takes game 4, they can easily go back home and take a 3-2 series lead.

[thekiddfan]

That my man. Is the most logical post of the day

But i still hope okc pulls off an upset!

Yes. If GS takes next game this series is going 7 games. Would hate to play a game 7 in GS if I'm okc. Game 4 is a must win for okc.

Hard to imagine game 4 winner not winning the series. I think OKC wins it but it's not a done deal yet. After game two here was my allocation

GS in 5 - 10%
GS in 6 - 10%
GS in 7 - 30%
OKC in 5 - 10%
OKC in 6 - 30%
OKC in 7 - 10%

Now I've got

GS in 6 - 12%
GS in 7 - 30%
OKC in 5 - 16%
OKC in 6 - 32%
OKC in 7 - 10%

Yup. Game 4 winner is taking this series. Are those percentages guesses or based on some numerical method ?

[stevenhsu]

I like your prediction.
It's all up to Game 4 now.

Just based on the likelihood of each game from my perspective. I felt pretty strong during game twos drubbing actually that OKC had a real shot at this. If warriors can't create chaos, and OKC stays healthy and engaged, I think OKC wins. I really do. I thought that when they were down 25 in game two. That length and athleticism is overwhelming GS and really has in 10 of the 12 quarters this series, just as it did SA.

The pressure is so huge on GS now. They have the MVP, coach of the year, and the all time wins record....

But they'll go down in the record books as the best to ever not win it if they don't pull this out. Game 4 is the biggest game in the NBA this season. Maybe in the last two seasons. A potential dynasty rides on it. Can't wait.

If you're a GS lover or supporter and you've been saying how curry is the greatest ever or this team is the greatest ever, then this is the time to see them prove it. If they can't, then they're just another team.

[drobfan8]

Well that was enjoyable to watch.

Great to see some of the hot air taken out of some of the GS fans that have been a little too over-confident this year.

Game 4 is just going to be ridiculous. I agree, D. Green should be suspended, which might also help them as they're so deep and losing a player that's not playing well isn't that big of a deal.

Wow, what a spanking.

[byronscott4ever]

It can't be too common for a conference finals to have a 45 point swing from one game to the next can it?

[JustinVerlander07]

Ugly game, here's to winning game 4!

DING DING DING DING, we have a winner. That what i have been trying to tell everyone all year. KD is still the best scorer in the league all day and it obvious. Curry could score a lot when hot ya but all on 3s. KD does it every single way. It not close as to who the better scorer is.

[fullmetal]

Has the 'run Curry like crazy on defense' strategy worked? Has it tired his shot?

Yep, he just shoots 3's, that's it, he does nothing else at an elite level

What a tired, incorrect bit that is easily as you say, "false".
