    If Curry plays like the MVP, they probably take the next 4 convincingly.

    Despite a good game from both teams, you can also say that the dubs did beat themselves.

    For months already, they did not retain the same focus and level of play after the 41-odd starts. Too many wild plays, not enough discipline. They've gotten more careless and trigger happy, likely due to being relaxed by Curry's presence and too comfortable to copy Curry's style (particularly Green who plays like he's asking for a bigger role, which took chances away from what used to belong to other role players imo).

    So if dubs can rekindle the level they used to play, then they should be fine. However me there's no indication of such so far.

    Yes, I think Curry can win one or two championships more with just his outside shooting

    but I do think he can win it every year soley relying on his shots

    This is not just on Curry but also his teammates

    Depends on how you define "black".

    They've lost one game, and this is the conclusion you come to?

    GS played a bit of heroball down the stretch in game 1, but to say that they're becoming unfocused is a huge stretch. Going 73-9 and 8-4 (2 or 3 losses without Curry) does not signal an unfocused team.

    I love watching the Warriors lose but I can't see OKC taking care of the ball well enough to avoid going down in six games. Damn it.

    I really feel like that okc took the warriors heart last game. It is going to be very interesting to see if the warriors confidence is shaken.

    If it is close in the 4th, I think the Warrior's role players wilt. This has always been the case.

    I'm so sick of people saying westbrook may not be the best player but .....

    If I am honest, I take westbrook over KD any day. To me he is the best okc player.
