[Western Conference Finals] (1)Golden State vs. (3)Oklahoma City

It's not done by "the league", this work is probably done by one guy handling the website. Love those conspiracists.

 

Like wrestling, the NBA is also predetermined on its outcome. They kinda go hand and hand. Steph Curry is Roman Reigns?

 

I know it seems like a foregone conclusion at this point, BUT I have still have hope for OKC. Mainly b/c:
1. I still think Durant has a great shooting game left in him, and even Westbrick can hit around 45% for a game, making a huge difference.
2. Donovan is not your normal rookie coach.
3. Klay probably isn't going to have another record-setting game.

But in the end, Warriors will get to set any kind of picks they want in their home arena, and the NBA will get what it wants: Stephanie and his slobbery pacifier in the finals. Yea.

 

WB and KD will crumble mentally.

 

Getting mentally prepared for the refs in Game 7.

 

Maybe. Two years ago, yes for sure. They understand this will be a legacy moment. They should also understand that they would have won game 6 if Thompson wasn't hitting halfcourt circus shots. He won't be hitting those again, not in that number.

Anyway, you're probably right, but there's a chance that they take this next step as a grow-up moment. I'm kind of fascinated to see.

the actors change but the screenplay remains

 

In the end it's just one game though. I agree that the refs are probably ready to help a bit the Warriors, but if OKC is on fire i don't think the refs can do much, but it'll be interesting to watch them too, no doubt.

 

If OKC is on fire....true; you can help a team, but if the other team is killing it, the referees later can only tell their minders, "Hey, we couldn't be obvious obvious, you know?"

Still, it's unfortunate for OKC to go to Oakland facing this team. Because during this series Steph Curry has largely had a case of the shanks. If that doesn't stay true?

Hudson: (Aliens) Game over, man! Game over!

 

It's over OKC already lost

 

Seriously what do you guys expect GS to do? If there's a team to come back from a 3-1 deficit, shouldn't be them? You know the guys who won it last year? Look at their record? I mean come on, to even think to count them out when they wasn't even trying. Come on CF!!!

 

And they're at home? Guys come on! It's already written in stone. The NBA even acknowledged it on their page updated on their schedule page. The bread is in the pudding as they say.

 

VanityHalfBlack doing yoeman's work trying to jinx Golden State. Kudos.

 

It works both ways

 

Completely agreed. This game will really show us what Durant is made of. If OKC doesn't play heroball down the stretch, I think OKC wins.

If OKC loses, I honestly think this is the last time we see KD and Westbrook together on the same team.

 

OKC still have a golden chance. I think OKC is the better team overall with their defensive ability and will win.

 

Any truth to the league going out of rotation and benching Foster for Crawford?
