GSW's defense has been atrocious.  That's the one thing no one could have predicted.  But the other two things killing them are the same problems you could see even as they won 73 games.  The whole team is prone to lazy turnovers and they take way too many bad shots. 

I still won't count them out but it is hard to imagine any team with Westbrook and Durant playing like this losing three in a row.

An OKC-Toronto Finals is looking more like a legit possibility!

OKC win makes it tougher for NBA to allow Toronto in the final. LOL!!

They'll be right to do so.  The Warriors might have lost anyway but the reason they're getting blown out over and over is their offense relies on them making a ridiculous number of threes and that isn't happening.

GSW has no answer for durant. But also OKC frontcourt players are just too long, athletic vs GSW

Curry is forcing the issue right now. Nice job by rw defending him. also Roberson on Thompson

If the Thunder pull this off, can we stop pretending that "big men are dinosaurs"?
The OKC are largely beating the warriors playing small though. Waiters playing 32 minutes Kanter 9 and Adams just 25.

Iguadala was huge last year for gsw

Curry is not 100 % ....stick a fork in GSW

Not taking anything away from OKC .....they are finally healthy for once all at same time.


You know ...NBA wants Bron vs Durrant for the finals .......refs will make sure Raptors DO NOT win.

If you believe that logic, then it is also likely that the NBA wants OKC to win it all so that Durant and Westbrook stay put and the OKC franchise doesnt fold. Going back to 2007, the NBA has gone out of their way to establish a franchise and sustain popularity in OKC.

Good point. Iggy and bogut are basically non factors on offense, meanwhile Barnes and Ezeli are not doing enough to make up the difference.
