Klay sums up the game:

There is definitely something not right with Curry. But what the hell happened to Green? He suddenly became a scrub.

 

The bully got out-bullied.

 

Karma. It's nuts.

 

This Is All Joe Lacob's Fault

Curry is only injured when they lose I guess

I mean he can't possibly play like shet right

Remind me of "Rusty Jordan" in 95 when they got eliminated by Shaq.

 

Hahahah lol @ the delusional owner.

That chit from the owner was just pure facking arrogance. Got dam, NOW I really want OKC to win this series.

Remember guys, not that we like OKC either, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

 

Spoiler

 

No Riley Curry press conference?

 

I think from the way Curry is moving he isn't 100%.

His defense has been atrocious.

 

Curry is getting exposed by a level of play he's never had to face from an elite point guard. He's still the greatest shooter in the game, but a locked-in Westbrook is something Curry's never played against in a playoff series (past two seasons: Jrue Holiday, injured Mike Conley, Jason Terry/Pablo Prigioni, Matthew Dellavedova; Patrick Beverley, Damian Lillard). Say what you will about those guys, but none of them are on Westbrook's physical level.

The Thunder are hammering Steph every time he tries to get open and they have guys who can disrupt his perimeter dribbling when Westbrook gets switched off of him. This is how Warriors-haters have wanted teams to play against him for years now and we're finally seeing what happens when somebody is able to rough him up.

Somebody on Reddit noticed an interesting coaching decision last night: Donovan only ran the Hack-a on Ezeli when the Warriors were coming out of a timeout. This prevented Golden State from running an offensive play before having to switch back to defense, disrupting their flow before allowing them to get into a rhythm. Pretty smart stuff.

 

LOL. Exactly what I thought. The Dish is becoming like the GARM. All the haters are coming out when the guy is not doing well.

You guys should just read heypartner and a few others discuss how OKC was able to defend the potent GSW offense (and the Spurs for that matter).

 

at the conf. finals stage, how many players are 100%?

maybe some deep bench? but that's it...

 

Nobody is, which is why people who critiqued the Warriors' "easy" path to the 'ship last year were being deliberately naive. But, that doesn't discredit Oklahoma City for having the perfect roster and game plan to beat this team.

 

Crazy the GARM was once filled with Lin threads and now the Dish has Curry threads lol

 

It's gonna be tough, especially since Curry is apparently nowhere near 100%, but we'll see. I don't think it's going to happen though. It's a perfect storm for OKC with all their guys, even guys like Waiters and Roberson contributing offensively while, at the same time, Curry and Green have largely played poorly and GSW bench has looked ineffective. I mean even Steven Adams is hitting all his fts. If Curry is 100%, there is no question in my mind GSW are the best team in the league, but it looks like I'm going to be wrong on this one.

Stop with the silly excuses. Steve Kerr said Curry is fine, Curry himself said he was fine. Remember him shouting "I'm here! I'm back" during the Portland series? Besides, who is at their 100% this deep into the playoffs? Everyone is banged up at this point, you think Durant or WB is 100% healthy?

 

He looked pretty damned good to me during the Portland series and Game 2 of the Thunder series. The Thunder defense is wearing him out on both offense having to constantly fight to get open, and on defense, having to FINALLY have to guard someone, and someone physical like Westbrook.

Lets give the Thunder credit man.
