Adams is the biggest reason OKC has turned the corner. He's been on another level the last few weeks and it's making a huge difference for that team.

Yeah the Rockets didn't get enough in return for that draft pick

Big time win. Those close games vs SA are paying big dividends for OKC. Got that monkey off their back. Hope they take the series and humble this GS team.

I'm sorry, but this is Skip Bayless analysis. OKC didn't win because the San Antonio game gave them confidence and taught them they could get over the hump (they've been to the finals for crying out loud). They won because their big men beasted and exploited a tasty match up against the small ball Warriors. Also, while Durant and Westbrook shot like dog crap (17/51 combined) they drew enough FTs to minimize the damage.

Lol Skip Bayless analysis. I never said that was the reason OKC won. You are kidding yourself though if you don't think winning close games in a playoff environment - against a team like San Antonio - on the road, did not help boost their confidence going forward........... Especially when they had been struggling at the end of games. Those kinds of wins have an immeasurable impact on a team. A teams mentality is just as important when it comes to winning a championship, but you can keep ignoring that and think its all about x's and o's.

golden state 1/10 from 3 in the 4th quarter. There's your reason. live by it, die by it.

Still expect the warriors to roll. At this point it looks like the Thunder are the better matchup to the Cavs, because they are more similar.

Cavs will have to change the gameplan away from 25 3s a game if the get GSW in the finals. Don't want to go head to head on a 3pt contest with them.

Curry doesn't look the same to me post injury. Still shooting lights out but his dribble drive game and ability to get to/finish at the rim seems to be taking a hit. Probably more of a confidence issue than anything.

Mostly agree. He's saying that his knee is painful and isn't improving since game5 of Blazers series. IMO, that's why he's more tentative about getting to the rim.

Holy crap curry is a terrible defender

Dang man. Didn't see OKC looking this good.

GS needs to give up trying to goad Adams into retaliation, it's not happening.

And Westbrook never touched him lol

Durant not having any of "baby *****" Curry's antics. Love it.

And then Curry goes off

Green loses it on the refs on every foul called on him and Durant gets T'd up for that

Curry might be a decent player one day if he could learn how to shoot.


Did you see that last 3 from the wing? Turned around as soon as he released it and started jogging back, didn't even watch it.

He just stared down Ibaka. 100% confidence it was going in. Just nuts.

Okc is getting the short end of a lot of the ref calls, IMO.

(Not the main reason they are losing)

Maybe they shouldn't be pissing the MVP off....

Geez...who could have predicted that OKC would start getting reffed differently against the Warriors.

I love how Draymond Green plays with "intensity" but anyone else who stares a dude laying on the ground for 5 seconds screaming at him gets T'd up and is trash.

Green has gotten plenty of technicals this season.

Right, and looks like he should get a lot more too. I will enjoy him continuing trying to get under Adams' skin and get a reaction from him. I'd be shocked if it happens.

I don't deny that, but Adams does it in such a manner that refs don't see it.

I would add Bogut into that conversation as well

Playoff Dion Waiters is a totally different player.

This has been a really entertaining first quarter.

Love him or hate him - you have to admit, Westbrook is unbelievable. Literally. Like I see it but don't believe it. How can one person simultaneously look like Steve Urkle and a ninja turtle?!? Unbelievable.

Damn...sure looked intentional

Green, What a trash player

I really like watching the Warriors, but someone needs to knock out Draymond.
