KD goes off after losing OKC tonight's game..but I don't see it anyways, the 3 refs OKC had tonight. OKC was 3-1 with them, now 3-2. OKC had every opportunity to win tonight and they blew it. Warriors will have full momentum, confidence, and will get home cooking too. KD and Westbrook would both need GREAT games with Curry and Dray or Klay having bad game

KD plays mad again like when he was talking shyt to reporters

and it motivates the whole team to play hard

klay gets in foul trouble on westbrook and they lock down curry

They need to play big.

Donovan needs to play Kanter some more. I think his PnR game with Durant/Westbrook causes them problems.

Warriors by 15+

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.
lol. not gonna happen. its just not OKC's game.

that being said they have two phenomenal players capable of going off at any time. 5% chance is just too unrealistic. Honestly, they probably have a good 35-40% chance. They just need those two players to perform and shoot a high percentage, Ibaka and Adams to continue doing what they have been, and then one random player such as Waiters, Kanter or Roberson to go off for 15.

Westbrook cant settle for threes. Yes he makes them at times but its not his strong suit. He'll go 2 for 5 one game...but then 1 for 7 the next. But when he's attacking the rim? 75% of the time somebody's scoring whether he kicks it out, slides it to a big man or finishes himself. They're gonna have to rise up to the occasion and play to their strengthhs. But fukk em. Like i said originally Warriors in 7
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

If I'm coach donovan, I'm telling my team you gotta get off to a fast start. If klay or steph comes out and hits a couple of quick three's then that place will explode and they'll be playing from behind.

From the okc's standpoint, they would like game 7 to mirror game 5. Back & forth with atleast a chance in the fourth quarter, that's all you can ask for.

What happen in the past doesnt matter, also okc's defense was sloppy last night, gotta clean it up. I would say okc has a 45% shot of winning. But guys like barbosa, barnes & speights may be the X factor for a warriors win.
