    Warriors can't board and can't score right now ... that's a recipe to get run off the court in this series.

    Hard to see them winning 3 in a row to finish off this series with the way it is going.

    They gave up 72 in the first half. Their defense is even worse.
    Yep, the defense is the biggest issue, but there are a lot of issues.

    They're better than this obviously, and I think they rally and win game 5 rather easily at home. Really hard to see them winning game 6 in OKC though.

    James - Durant round 2 forthcoming.

    All it takes is one hot GSW shooting night and/or classic OKC choke job.

    OKC should close it out rather easily, say 134-117, but they are who we thought they were until proven otherwise.

    What's amazing to me is that Donovan has taken Roberson and turned him from a liability to difference maker on offense. His ability to make Green pay for playing help defense and further compromising the defense as they rotate to him in the lane is creating opportunities for everybody else. Warriors traditionally give Curry a lot of help on defense and that's burning them right now. The rebounding is obviously the other big issue offensively.

    I'm not sure how much I would really say that the defense as a whole is the biggest culprit. OKC shot 43% last night compared to 50% for Game 3. In the 1st 2 games, OKC really didn't shoot great either at 44% and 45%. If I was Steve Kerr, I would be happy with 3 of those 4 defense efforts.

    The reality is that the Warriors aren't scoring the ball and turning it over way too much. When you layer the rebounding on top of it, it's almost impossible for them to win.

    Just looking at the box score yesterday, Ezili played 10 minutes, grabbed 2 rebounds, and couldn't hit a FT to save his life ... he's the one guy that the Warriors can throw out there that is athletic enough as a big to make a difference but Donovan is taking him off the court. Bogut clearly isn't healthy at this point.

    Just feels like no matter what the Warriors do at this point OKC has the ability to put the Warriors back into check ... and check mate isn't that far away unless Curry/Thompson can magically start shooting the ball at a high level again.

    Russ has made Curry his bitch this series.

    Curry doesn't look remotely healthy and OKC knows it. All season, anytime a big switched onto him it would be time to fire up the BBQ. Now he can't blow by/jitter around/acrobat a step-back against them and that allows OKC to switch constantly.
    The other by product is that the production of the role players like Green, Barnes, etc. has gone way down as the easier opportunities are dwindling

    I enjoyed the self free pub.

    And we all should have seen this coming. The Thunder have played a Lakers team that won the title, Mavericks team that won the title, beat the Spurs four years ago before they were old and Apex Lebron with Apex Wade and shooting everywhere. The Warriors beat a bunch of injured teams last year for the *title and won some regular season games. The Thunder are battle tested, the Warriors were lucky. This series is over, long live the King.

    Golden State = 2001 Mariners? At least they won a title earlier though.

    The 18-0 Pats are the correct comparison

    Disagree, if GS loses to OKC the M's are right comp. Record setting regular season, didn't even make it to the championship.

    Can't decide whether to downvote for obvious troll is obvious or chincredible for obvious Race bait is obvious.

    Fuck the Pitmaster for not letting abundance be an option!

    This Postseason is shaping up perfectly for Race to pop off. The Thunder play to their ceiling while the Warriors finally go cold and get upset. Lebron faces Thunder again in the finals, but Thunder gotta Thunder and fall back to earth and Lebron mops them in 5 or 6.

    This is very true. Donovan appears to be pushing the right buttons to allow Westbrook and Durant to mesh to their potential. The flip side is Lue has the Cavs big 3 healthy and playing as well as they ever have together. Donovan has coached through pressure to win it all twice before. Lue hasn't proven he can adjust on the fly when things are going wrong.

    Somebody here mentioned it before, but their is a lot of Sark in Cleveland. Great frontrunners, but if they get hit in the mouth they crumble, followed by a heavy dose of finger pointing.

    The Cavs wouldn't call a pass on the goal line with Lynch in the backfield
