I don't see how the Warriors can beat OKC in the first round anymore

Fire that bum Scotty brooks and watch the thunder win back to back rings

NO you can't play the same game. Brooks idiocy is a controlled circumstance that is not going to change. The Thunder calls, however, dried up drastically in the WCF. And by changing the starting lineup, you are referring to Z-Bo getting suspended :JJ: ?

The point is - the Thunder were DEFINITIVELY the better team - calls or no calls in their favor doesn't negate that. All it took was a slight change of minutes in positions outside of KD/Westbrook and the Grizzlies couldn't compete.

We can go down a long list of even more egregious calls for teams that are revered so unless you are calling ALL of those into question as well this is not a road worth going down. Only two teams you can put over them in recent history is MIA and SA, there is no case for anyone else, period.They have won with him playing hero ball in the playoffs and I just don't see GSW as the type of squad to do anything about it.

Let's just see what happens then. Obviously, past is prologue and since the Thunder have only lost to the heat and spurs recently, they can't lose to any other team.

Thunder would be my favorites even if they had a SLIGHT upgrade at head coach. Until that happens, anybody who puts faith in them is setting themselves up for misery.

The point is - the Thunder were DEFINITIVELY the better team -

it's easy to win when the other team's best or 2nd best player is suspended. And since you are basing everything on last year, the Spurs are >>> Thunder.

As a warriors fan, I would be less inclined to face the spurs than the THunder STILL. Scott Brooks makes that much of a difference.

They remind me of the 07 Mavs a little bit more though.

fukk you

This doesn't make sense. My post was solely in response to your 'they would have lost to the Grizzlies if not for bullshyt calls last season.' statement.

Well that's just silly. The Spurs are done. The Thunder now have a complete squad and the only team that can beat them in a healthy state are the Warriors, and vice versa.

Yup.

Man, I'm OKC all the way but I still remember the way CP3 took over Game 1 last year.

Can't sleep on Warriors, at all. They got shooters.

I think GS home court can be an advantage and KD,Russy have some experience but they still aint good enough to put that team over the top...they werent good enough in 2013 as the top seed in the west and arent good enough as an 8 seed....Better defensive teams in the west have been there achilles in the playoffs...

The year russ tore his meniscus and didn't play

How the hell do you guard russ, kanter durant and ibaka

 

[BujuBoombastic]

Warriors in 6

Get that rassclot KD picture of your avatar....

Disgusting....

 

[Originalman]

fukk you

They do. Except they ain't a bunch of cry babies like the mavs were that year. Them hoes cried the whole got damn year about the finals the year before and laid a big fat egg in the first round. Instead of being the 2012 heat or 1989 pistons. Lose in the finals shut your mouth and come back and kick ass. They hoes cried all year and went out like some 2 dollar hoes on the strip.

Forget okc, my man issue with the warriors is the fact that they don't get to the free throw line at all. 3s aren't going to come easy in the playoffs with double and triple teams. Force them to play half court basketball they will crumble imo.

Double and triple teams create 3 pointers....

They cant guard Russ, they have the bodies to throw at Durant(not saying anyone will stop him though), Ibaka standing around the 3 point line can be guarded, and I think Bogut can handle Kanter.

Now had yall traded for Lopez instead(gave GS that work last night) then I would say a Russ/KD/Lopez trio would be way too much for them to handle
