    Shame about KD. Was on pace for 60.

    OKC probably needed him to score 60 too, at this point.

    And LOL @ that Westbrook commercial

    Warriors are the real deal. Their end game lineup of Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Barnes and Green is so difficult to defend. Outside of Curry they have 4 players over 6'6" who can shoot the three, drive, slash, and pass. They are the most diversified team on offense. I still think the Rockets have a good shot at beating them in a 7 game series but they are dangerous. Those saying otherwise aren't watching games or just being homers which I can understand.

    Wanted the Thunder to win, but man that was one heckuva game. Hats off to the Warriors, they just seem to bring their A game every night. Kudos to Steve Kerr.

    Warriors are definitely good, but they are getting lucky by catching these teams with significant injuries + good timing of home games. People may say Bogut and Lee are injured, but when are they not? Plus, Lee being out, IMO, has been a positive for them as Green and Speights have more than made up for his absence.

    Like I said before, Warriors are good AND lucky so far this year. Durant was about to drop 50 plus on them tonight before he went down went ankle sprain. Gotta give them credit for capitalizing.

    Sit him down. They won't need him for that one.

    But still well played by the Thunder. Westbrook looks really good. I do agree that OKC woulda won with KD, but that's how the dominoes fell.

    KD needs to go to Nike and have his shoes redesigned. He should not be wearing low tops. Curry rolled his ankle but those Under Armour literally repaired glass the play before Durant broke his glass ankles.

    why does everyone assume the thunder would have won if durant played the second half? GS was up at the half and were up as many as 8 despite him going off for 30.
