What Curry is doing is getting more unreal by the day, that game winner is one of the craziest you will ever see! I have to say that: that foul on Durant is NEVER called with so little time to go!! Iggy leaned in as hell too. Still, what a game.
Considering that has nothing to do what I said, this is baffling. My point is that you're leaning on point differential (in the two games between the Warriors and Thunder) to make your case that the Thunder are equal to the Warriors, so you use it when it's convenient to your case and dismiss it when it isn't (the Warriors' point differential in last year's playoffs showing that there really wasn't any drop-off in their play).
You said it right there... OKC are gigantically inferior to the Warriors because of the Warriors better record. I guess that 60 win Dallas team that went out in the first round were superior and the best team too right...Regular season record tells you little about whose going to win it all. The fact that the Warriors dominated most of their competition (Except for...Thunder) tells you a lot more. You brought up their regular season record not me, I'm confused as to what it has to do with how they match up to the Thunder and why you brought it up as well. No I'm not. I'm going by what I saw. You assume I'm going by point differential but I'm really not. I'm more focused on how they matchup to the warriors. Warriors beat OKC by 3 this game and 8 the last (a game OKC had to come back) so no I'm not. I think the Spurs could beat the Warriors, remember how I keep saying that? Warriors blew them out. I'm not going by no such thing. I'm going by actually watching the game, knowing the players/coaches involved, and realizing that they aren't invincible.
No, I said by your logic (wins and losses are all that matter), the Warriors are gigantically superior.
Umm yes, I was talking about in the playoffs clearly You said "You bring up the fact that they lost games in the playoffs" And my response was "Well yeah, wins and losses are the only thing that matters.." That entire post I was talking about the playoffs. I even bolded and underlined that part of the post. So I didn't care much for it, seeing as sometimes how much a team wins by doesn't tell you the entire story of the game or series. Sometimes series swing back and fourth between blowouts as well. Sometimes a game is close and by the end the team that is losing has to play the foul game which then extends what would have been a 4 point differential to more. The verdict of what people thought of the Warriors playoff run proves the point that they didn't coast through anything last year, likely won't this year either.
That presumes that most people thought the Warriors struggled (or were lucky) to win the title. That wasn't my perception at all. Those who criticized the Warriors as lucky were the minority but got lots of ink for the controversial nature of the position. Credit to the Warriors, though, for using that as further motivation...that was the type of thing Michael Jordan did too. From what I saw, most fans and analysts considered the Warriors to have fittingly crowned one of the great seasons of all-time last year.
Be meaning to comment that it was pretty telling of how focused GSW for three guys to not have fouled Durant on the inbounds. Brewer would have fouled him no matter how many Rockets and coaches yelled for him not to.
