    Idk if this was bad coaching or KD not listening to Donovan. It was pretty obvious early on that KD wasn't going to have a great game. At that point, there's literally NO reason to keep dumping it into him.

    Switch Thompson with Harden and we're worshipping Harden and Klay is getting smothered.

    Awesome performance, totally different rosters and roles.

    But we were only the 9th team in NBA history to do it. I'm just saying don't assume a Warriors win in Oakland is a sure thing in Game 7.

    Harden does not have a TENTH of Klay's defensive prowess. Sorry but no.

    He wouldn't know how to play off the ball either.

    I wonder if it was the Warriors plan to keep Thunder in that game 5 so Durant would have to play 45+ minutes and waste himself because he looked like he was running on empty tonight. Westbrook too but to a much lesser degree. Warriors got this in the bag.

    I don't know what else to say but that he choked. He seemed to be moving well. He's not banged up enough to make a bit of difference in a game like this. It's mental. Kevin Durant choked and you can bet that he knows it better than anyone. OKC could win game 7. They have the talent. Golden State looked ripe to get closed out, but they'll be at home and they aren't going to lose game 7 at home, unless the basketball gods just think they deserve to get beat. I don't see it.

    I'm willing to put $100 dollars on a GSW victory. Not only that, I would bet it will be a 10+ point victory.

    It's becoming a tougher and tougher debate. Still unsure if he's a guy that you can build a team around like you can with Harden. But on a team that has a defined system in place that plans around his strengths I would pick him over Harden. Tonight he carried his team offensively and also played big on the defensive end.

    Harden and Curry on the same team would be too much. One of those guys you can't stop on the perimeter. The other you can't stop on the drive. Both are playmakers. It'd be like what people wish Lowry and DeRozen were.
    I also don't think Thompson on this team would be too bad either. For starters he's a better defender than Harden and obv a better shooter and he would probably have played a smaller role as we would have played the inside out game with Dwight.

    Only the 9th team to do it and they already forgot about us! GSW is going to do it making this season even more annoying...

    of course it's not a sure thing, but the warrior are definitely favored to win now.

    Durant was playing hero ball out there most of the night and was just taking a bunch of bad shots. Durant and Westbrook went away from trusting and involving their teammates as the game went along and that's what killed them.
