Come in here and make a case for the Thunder on Monday

[South Side Reject]

No case can be made, i said they would win last night and they choked. They had plenty of chances in games 5 & 6 to close it out, but the fact is they're mental midgets.

Game 5 confirmed what I suspected about OKC. As great as they looked at times in this series, was never convinced they had taken the next step to becoming a champion. You up 3-1 on a lethal 73-win team, no way do you let GS live to fight another day. Media went on and on about how good they looked in that game but I didn't see it. No sense of urgency, nerves and and underlying "well, we'll get them at home" mindset. If OKC out here squandering opportunities like they have the last 2 games then I have very little hope of them ever turning the corner as currently constructed.

OKC has to dominate on the boards. Everytime they've had the edge in rebounds, they've won.

Okc out rebounded gsw in game 6, but I get what you're saying.

• Limit turnovers
• Great defense
• Win the rebound battle
• Play smarter on offense
• Establish and maintain the pace of the game
• Take the crowd out of the game
• And most importantly....COMPOSURE!!!!!!!

Spoiler: Reality

OKC is done !!! They couldn't establish these standards in the last two closeout games. I have no faith that they will become a smart and a compose team in a day.

Stop allowing those easy points off Draymond Green post-ups where he's easily hitting the cutter.

Let Draymond shoot.

Bench KD for the last five minutes.

Tell Westbrook to stop unleashing his inner James Harden and actually try to score instead of looking for calls.

Also tell Westbrook he's not Curry and hope he doesn't take off the dribble 3s.

 

[fifth column]

IMO they already had their 2 chances to close out. They only play 6 players and Kanter on occasion so they will be flustered by mid 4th quarter. The game still has to be played but I think GS will win comfortably

 

[malbaker86]

All they need is a 3rd player to give em plus 15 points and they be in position to win

 

[Teko]

Roberson needs to avoid foul trouble and they need to get Ibaka going from the get go. OKC can still win this

 

[yseJ]

Dion Waiters goes off like the true superstar he is

anything but this. to compound the dubs loss the servers will have to cope with stupidity that is iq .182 clueless posts

 

[Surreal]

It's out of their hands now. It's over.

 

[G-Zeus]

They tried to hit the mid range... but weren't particularly accurate.. they have to be this time...and blow.it up..and hopefully killa klay don't go in Killa army mode

 

[HHR]

They've already won 3 time, including once in Oracle and twice by 30 points.

What more case do you need? They're a very, very good basketball team with 2 of the leagues best players.

They aren't the favorite, but it shouldn't surprise anyone if they advance.

 

[Dynasty]

They got 2 top 5 players if atleast one can shoot 50% they got a shot.
