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

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Can't be no off the wall shyt like Green gets thrown out in the first quarter or Steph rolls his ankle. How do the Thunder come back from this? How do they do it? I give them maybe a 5% chance. Only if GS is severely outrebounded and the Thunder somehow cut way back on stupid ass turnovers.

Also, Warriors shots not falling, obviously but that's rare. So yes, it's possible but damn.. I can't see it.

The defense that was there in gms 3-4 has to be there again. That obviously doesn't equate to GS shooting that poorly again but it would decrease the probability of Curry/Thompson having a fire game (though I'm betting they'll both play well on Monday anyway). The energy just has to be really high and that's difficult on the road and especially following a loss like this.

Plus if the game's close they gotta show better poise than what we saw tonight. Golden State's defense was really goddamn good, but Westbrook-Durant had some pretty goddamn bad plays. It's hard to just say "well they should be more careful" because of how great of defense was played, but you'd hope that Westbrook wouldn't turn the ball over four times in like two minutes. Also ESPN had a graphic after the game that showed OKC hit only three threes and had 70 points in the paint. If they play the paint like that again that's really great, but they need at least 8-10 threes between several guys on a respectable percentage if they're gonna win again. That all comes back to running good sets and finding the balance they had earlier in the series.

Other than that it's getting pretty bleak. At the Oracle, GS has the momentum, and OKC made some of the same mistakes they did in the regular season when trying to execute late in games. Makes it that much harder for OKC to just play their own game.

KD and Westbrook combine for 80 points and the splash brothers both play like shyt

 

[Kal El]

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

 

[Dak Pickscott]

Hell freezes over

 

[BlackXCL]

They've won there before is the only thing I can come up with.

 

[Rigby.]

The league abandons GSW as the show pony

 

[Llcoolbay]

KD finally going off



Where this nikka at man

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Curry and Klay pull a Durant and Westbrook and shyt the bed at home

Since most Coli brehs rarely contribute anything of value....heres what I think is key.

KD due for a big game because hes been shooting like shyt all series.
WB and KD wanting redemption for laying eggs these past 2 games, instead of sulking.
Winning the battle on the boards.
The fact that they already won 1 on GS' court and narrowly lost the last time they were there.
The fact that OKC only hit THREE 3s all night and still led for most of the game and couldve won had it not been for hero ball and lategame TOs.
The fact that GS plays what I call "homerun basketball." Peep game. Pretty much every win theyve gotten this post season has relied on one player on the squad absolutely blacking out, as we saw tonight it was Thompson. Curry obviously still isnt there offensively and probably wont be for Game 7 so GS is banking on another blackout or the bench coming in guns blazing.

nikkas are acting like this shyt is written in stone but tbh Game 7 is anyones ballgame.

This is outta my hands....

 

[GoldenGlove]

If it's one team that can bounce back and win, it's this OKC team. They are random af and might come out looking like all time greats.

Who knows

 

[statuez]

i still believe in KD

 

[Illuminatos]

"Klay Thompson had a historic night and they only won by 7. They won't shoot like that again."
