Nothing.
Thunder just came together at the right time.
Plus it also helps the Thunder that they have 2 of the top 4 NBA players on one team

circus shots came back to bite them...playing these ridiculous shots in regular season is way different than playing them in playoffs with a hungry opponent at the boards...these nikkas getting outpaced and outgunned.. they are too tired now to put down these weird shots with confidence. Kerr is a terrible coach
I've caped for GSW many times this season when they got undue hate but this injury excuse is ridiculous. Historically there have been many players who had to deal with pain and injury in the playoffs. There are no excuses because GSW sure didn't want to hear it when they beat the Cavs last year.

Honestly, the best thing the warriors can do is STAY BIG. Bogut, Ezeli, and Andy V need to play more. that small lineup just isn't working this series. Stay with the big lineup. at least you'll get second chance opportunities. Because with the small lineup, once G.state misses a shot. thunder are getting the rebound and pushing it full speed.
They haven't matched OKC's intensity. All the x's and o's and shyt is cool, but if a team is just out-fighting and playing harder that you -- then you're in fukking trouble. OKC has out-fought the Warriors in every game. Transition D is ass. Lazy ass passes all over the court. Players making direct beelines to the rim unchecked. Etc. Etc. Etc.
I'm a firm believer in the psychology of the game and in sports in general. One aspect of that is that teams generally take on the personality of their best player(s). My biggest gripe of Steph as a player is his casual, cavalier, unconcerned attitude because it permeates the rest of the team. I don't really think he can help it. It's who he is, but I actually do perceive it to be a negative. They're good enough where they'd been getting by even whilst being in "chill mode," with 4th quarter flurries and heroics. However, shyt is different now. When Steph comes to play with that fire in his stomach and isn't looking off into the stands and chewing his mouthpiece for 40 minutes of the game, the Warriors are a whole different team. The first Spurs game is an example where he really came to fukking play from the jump. He wanted that shyt and they subsequently blitzed the Spurs.
They're at a fork in the road. Either they decide to match OKC's intensity, or listen to that other voice in their heads telling them that it takes too much effort, too much sacrifice, they already got a ring and so on.

I dont think it's attitude. They didnt win 73 games by accident. It's not an intensity issue...they're just facing an extremely talented, super athletic, well coached team that's figured out how to defend their motion offense. I dont think anyone really has accounted for how good Steven Adams suddenly is and Ibaka is playing lights out as well. They're just getting beat by a better team right now and their bench isnt enough to make up for the gaps 1-5.
