    Fudge. Momentum and HCA is on the warriors' side. OKC has a huge mountain to climb.

    For the second time in a row

    • Beat the Spurs in playoff series
    • Take a 3-1 lead in the next series with a couple of huge blow-outs
    • Commit a suicide in the 4th quarter of Game 6 at home
    • Choke-Choke-Choke

    OKC starting to look like the Clippers of last season.

    Do yourself a favor... come out of the closet breh! CF is here for you!

    That pic was from the team Vegas trip right after winning the championship. Drinking and sexing is allowed in that scenario.

    Gonna be a crazy day/night in the Bay Area. Memorial Day shenanigans, Sharks in Stanley Cup Game 1, and OKC-Warriors Game 7. My angus is peppered.

    OKC didn't execute great, but GSW made big plays and hit huge shots. I wouldn't call it a choke job.

    Have to give props to kay

    A performance that was the straw that broke the camels back

    Took a record breaking game to do it

    Hit 12 threes throughout the game to crush momentum - live by th e 3 die by it, leads to other teams getting frustrated

    Season defining performance , congrats Thompson

    On offense, it was definitely a choke job by OKC. You can't take the air out of the ball with 6 mins remaining and milk the clock in the NBA. Gotta maintain aggression.

    KD and WB were atrocious down the stretch. If they lose game 7, game 6 will go down as a monumental failure in their careers. The only excuse they could have had was complete exhaustion.

    I think it's a factor. Donovan seems to be ever-shortening his bench. Durant and Westbrook were playing in their 90th minute at the end of the game, and the splash brothers were playing their 80th minute (roughly). It makes a difference, especially as much effort as D&W put into defense.

    That hack-a-Bogut foul on Roberson really screwed the rotation, at the end of the game. I would think Roberson would have been able to stymie Klay, even the slightest bit, but Donovan couldn't play Roberson until he really needed to.

    Your best wing defender in foul trouble + your best scorer in Durant being trash down the stretch = you ain't winning against GS.

    In Donovan's defense, the hack-a-Bogut happened in the 2nd quarter when Roberson had no fouls. Then Roberson picked up some BS back-to-back fouls: second foul was an offensive foul where Curry flopped, third foul was a blocking foul guarding Iggy in transition. The third foul was more offensive as Iggy lowered a shoulder, but Roberson wasn't squared.

    Foul trouble did mess up the rotation. Adams's second foul was a dumb foul on his part. He has no reason to reach on Curry above the 3-point line.

    You mean the Pacers didn't build around Reggie Miller, or Miller is better?

    But does anyone on GS even lift? They are like the All No Muscle team. Weird. Maybe lifting really does mess with your jumper.
