    I think that's why Lebron's jumper is terrible

    I heard Curry once lifted weights 84 straight times without a single dropped weight. Amazing.

    Knowing the Warriors will most likely win at home, if I'm the Thunder I would unleash Westbrook like a mad dog and let Durant take a back seat for once. Go out in a blazing fire of 48 minutes of Westbrook just pounding the ball into the heart of the Warriors' defense. Play after play of attacking coast-to-coast without regard for human life or limb. That's what got them up 3-1 in the first place, not the Durant heroball crap.

    This is what I said before Game 6 and both logged huge mins again and fatigue might have set in during the 4th qtr. I thought the Warriors did a decent job of neutralizing the other guys. However, I still don't think GSW have played particularly well yet in terms of a complete game. But I did see signs from Curry and a few others that lead me to believe they are headed in the right direction. To be fair, some of this does have to do with OKC's defense and the matchup problems they present, but some of it also has to do with the Warriors being in a relative funk for a few weeks now due to Curry's injury and a lack of continuity.

    Psychologically, this has to be devastating and demoralizing for OKC. They had a chance to close out in the 4th qtr, but Golden State made the big plays on both offense and defense (especially Iggy) and won the game. I'm not sure how they recover from this and win at Oracle, but line for Game 7 is 7, which indicates a close game.

    Westbrook shouldn't have been laughing in the first place:

    Steve Kerr's 'system' last night was amazing! Off-balance 3s with hands in the face. Calmly launching from a couple of steps inside half court from the top of the key and draining it - how does Kerr do it?

    Which begs the question did Kerr this generation's Mike D'Antoni

    Maybe Curry and Klay are the system just like Nash was the system

    Launching from 30 and hand in yo face fast break threes takes mojo. They gained the that mojo from Kerr's champion aura last season. They're one of the few or only teams who got the trophy without paying their "dues" in previous years. Kerr provided that poise and confidence for the team.

    Ask mark Jackson about it.

    They always do this prematurely. Rockets were selling playoff tickets when werent in the playoff picture yet.

    Be prepared to see Westbrook pout. GS is going to win out.

    In basketball you want to be as strong as possible yet carry the least amount of mass at that strength level. Lebron isn't that bulk nor big, his jump shot comes and goes but mainly the caused by the fatigue of training nearly year round and being in the Finals for 6 consecutive seasons.

    It's one thing for a home team to prematurely try to sell playoff tickets. It's another for the league to put out a schedule showing a "presumed" winner of an active series.
