    what same looks? WB easily blew by Curry every time when he couldn't do that agianst KT. Curry's defense and turnovers were the main reason why GS lost tonight, no doubt.

    Crazy if you think Curry can keep up with Westbrook.

    He is physically way more gifted, quicker and troubling when he gets going.

    After seeing what OKC did to a very very good SA team, I picked OKC in 7 here.

    GS hasn't been playing awesome - they lost their edge when Curry went out and they still don't seem like they have reintegrated him - their rhythm is off.

    Meanwhile OK is peaking and playing their best basketball - especially defensively - of the year.

    That's a dangerous combo for GS. It's still anyone's series. It's going to go 7 which means anyone can win - but favors GS of course. I picked the Thunder in 7. But they might be able to pull it off in 6.

    It's just one game, and the Warriors could take the next four. But boy oh boy would it be something if OKC could pull it off.

    Not if the keep chucking bricks from 3 land. They couldn't hit shiit when it counted.

    OKC won despite Durant's shot being off and despite their turnovers.

    Yeah. A lot can be said on OKC having a horrible game as well.

    Klay, Curry and Green all had over 20 plus. They usually win when that happens.

    OKC wipes that insufferable smirk off Ethan Sherwood Strauss' b**** face for at least one game.

    Don't panic!!! That sound you hear in the Bay Area isn't an earthquake....

    It's just the sound of the Warrior bandwagon emptying.

    Posted this one the first page. Not at all surprise that the Thunders manage to steal a game at Oracle, though I'd thought it be the second game.
    Of course the warriors (Or thunders) could still win this in 5, but I doubt it.
    I'm gearing up for hopefully 6 more games of even better basketball!

    OKC played pretty badly and still won. GS just played that much worse, with a total breakdown in the 4th. But anyone who thinks this series is done hasn't been paying attention. GS could easily get hot for four straight games. I hope to god they lose, but they're not just going to lie down.

    Obviously it is very early in the series, but could you image a historic team (73 wins in the regular season) not making to the NBA finals? That would definitely minimize the importance of 73 wins. Just ask Patriots fans how satisfying was for their team to have gone 16-0 during the regular season a few years ago, and subsequently got kicked out of the playoffs

    No one thinks this series is done. People just believe this will not be a cake walk for GSW
