So he systematically tries to kick the defender when he shoots? No wonder he gets in people's heads.

I think we can all expect to see the officiating shift to GS advantage tonight. The NBA doesn't want the GS down 3-1.

---

how can it shift when according to this thread GS has been so favored they should've been able to not dress any players. or was that OK? since they have been paying offor refs since the most egregious cheating in sports history when they beat the Spurs last round.

Green has tried this before

That shows you how trash he is. Always trying to kick someone for a little advantage. Its a reflex for him. He has learned to intentionally kick with every play.

You guys remember when Curry blamed Game 3 on a run that OKC made in the 2nd quarter? Well, it's happening again.

I can not stand Draymond Green

This.

Great sequence from the Thunder. GSW out of synch again.

Steven Adams is my new favorite player. What a pass!

Looked like he was tossing a softball!

How does Westbrook move so fast to the hole and cuts through 3 defenses? Very impressive.

---

I can't remember a player with his ability to accelerate.

Sucks when all of your big 3 are having a bad shooting night. It's always crazy when Curry has this bad of a night. I really don't want another blow out. Much less fun to watch.

Unbelievable what OKC is doing. Golden State is completely out of sync.

As a spurs fan I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this series. Let me just say that I am extremely impressed with OKC, and as ridiculous as they are on offense, their defense has been what has put them over the top. Count me as one who wants to see them finish this thing off.

---

Spurs fan too. OKC can thank the Spurs for learning how to play as a team during our series. That is where this thunder team turned a corner.

Pretty shocking to see the Warriors get dismantled. However I hope they come back because I want a good series.

can't stand Westbrook so I'm having a hard time watching this series so far.

Klay doe

Regardless of how much credit one wants to give the Spurs as a team, that series, with the blowout in game 1, close calls, OT, really helped get the Thunder rolling on all cylinders.

Literally the silliest post I have read in a long time. So if the Thunder win the championship this year it was all because the Spurs taught them how to play as a team during the playoffs? Just give props to the Thunder and move on. It just wasn't the Spurs year. And this coming from someone who is not a Westbrook fan at all.

---

Your post is silly.
Look at the mavs series and the regular season. It was durant Westbrook show, not closing games out and blowing 4th quarter leads. All of that changed during the Spurs series. I have to think that without changing the way they played during that series and getting others involved they would not have won. So because of the team the Spurs were and the team the thunder were they had to change to win that series. So yeah the Spurs were a good test that forced a culture change in the thunder and got them to where they are now.
I remember the 30 for 30 on the Pistons they gave credit to the Bulls. They said without the Bulls they would not have won the championship.

I will agree with the guy who says the Spurs series made this team better. It's really no question

Say what you will, but I love watching Westbrook play basketball. The dude is a beast.

The Rockets are lazy and in general don't try.

Also, crazy Thunder team this playoffs. Definitely am beginning to think it is their year. Sucks to have the record mean a hell of a lot less!!

If Donovan is gonna have Kanter in there you have to involve him offensively, if not sit him

So this Billy Donovan guy is pretty good
