OKC putting them away tonight tbh

 

[Fjordson]

Green looks good because he has shooters around him, he isn't an amazing player.

Wrong.

Fans really have no perspective with sports it seems lol. And it's always one extreme or the other.

 

[Oozer3993]

Golden State is just returning balance to the (American) sports world by losing. The teams that hold the records for regular season wins in the MLB, NFL, and NHL all lost in the postseason.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Wrong.

Fans really have no perspective with sports it seems lol. And it's always one extreme or the other.

That's right. Green also sets the best moving screens. The best, Jerry.

And I challenge anyone to find a better tackler in professional basketball.

That is one of his many talents, yes.

 

[True Savior]

His stats are obviously inflated because of the two shooters he plays with, but he's definitely a good, versatile player. Not great but extremely useful.

 

[Fjordson]

Dude is great and would be on any team. GAF stahp.

 

[dragonyeuw]

I have a feeling OKC is about to feel the Dub's wrath in a big big way tonight and for the next two games after that. There's just no way Curry won't dig deep and destroy Westbrook, Curry is just too damn talented and beyond anything we've ever seen in the game of Basketball,

There's not "that" much separation between those two, other than shooting, for one to destroy the other, though Westbrook has clearly had the upper hand in this series.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Wrong.

People on Bosh was the worst, I'm glad people finally figured out he was really good, but those first couple years of the Heatles they had no idea. I also laughed when people said the Cavs would be better because Love is better than Bosh :jnc

I remember Bosh getting killed, so silly.

Green has been absolute dog shit and is getting owned by Kevin Durant. He's still really, really good, though.

Yet the bulls won.

Getting ready for tonight:

Honestly? Yes. Your hate for all things LeBron has you imagining a great number of things, in my opinion. But, hey, you be you. Though I thought you'd be positioning yourself for the jump to the OKC bandwagon for the finals, should it come to that. Think ahead, it's time to pivot towards the center.

Can I donate money to this post?

 

[Bread]

Dude is great and would be on any team. GAF stahp.

Yeah there's not really anyone else like him in the league, too.

 

[Tekniqs]

You're clearly not thinking like a professional athlete in these here United States of America.

Same guy that would rather have the wins record than another championship this year.....

 

[Gigglepoo]

Same guy that would rather have the wins record than another championship this year.....

A team wins a championship every season.

 

[Gorillaz]

Durant might go off and score 60 tonight after getting rejected for first teams

now yall got that problem

 

[JustenP88]

The problem with losing now is that the 30 for 30 that will be made someday will be about the collapse of the GSW dream season in the playoffs. One of the biggest disappointments in US sports history. That will be the legacy.

If these playoffs end with OKC beating the Cavs, that documentary should be about OKC's playoff run.

 

[UFO]

Yet the bulls won.

Hence returning the balance.

 

[TSM]

If these playoffs end with OKC beating the Cavs, that documentary should be about OKC's playoff run.

So the Warriors would be a footnote? Not even their own documentary?

 

[Gigglepoo]

So the Warriors would be a footnote? Not even their own documentary?

Would you watch a documentary about this year's Warriors? I don't understand the appeal. They set the regular season win record and then lost to a great team in the playoffs. Where's the hook?

 

[TSM]

To watch a deconstruction of how it all went wrong from the player's and coach's point of view. Have you not watched many sports documentaries? There are at least as many covering it all going wrong as covering it all going right.

 

[JustenP88]

"What if I told you... There was a team who never lost... Until they did..."

Throw together a documentary about last year's Warriors. That's a coming-out party. Rookie coach, baby-faced MVP, Iguodala in the finals. Plus, you get LeBron putting the universe on his back to make the ending interesting.

This team had no adversity. No drama. We expected them to roll and they did... Until they didn't. Playoff basketball is a different beast and, if the Warriors don't come back, the "greatest team of all time" discussion is just a joke.

If they do come back, hell yeah make a documentary. Make 30 30 minute documentaries and play them on ESPN for 30 days straight. II just really don't want to see a documentary ten years from now that paints this "Curry is 70% nonsense as fact."

 

[Anth0ny]

Turn The 6 Upside Down It's A 9 Now: The Unlikely Championship Win of the Toronto Raptors

 

[GalacticToast]

I don't understand the comparisons to the 2007 Patriots. We were 2 minutes away from an undefeated season. These chumps aren't even going to make the Finals. 73-9 will only be remembered as the season that they failed to win it all.

"What if I told you... There was a team who never lost... Until they did..."

But they lost 9 times though...

 

[eBay Huckster]

:jnc

 

[GalacticToast]

I'm just happy my Curry jersey still has the tag on it.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

But they lost 9 times though...

And on one of those times, this happened!

Spoiler

I was kinda heated we won that game but we still ended up with the #2 pick so, lol.

 

[Violence Jack]

If this isn't over tonight, it's definitely over Saturday. It's looking like they cannot stop Westbrook or Durant at all.

[JennaTokyo]

I hope this series goes to 7 games because it has been so much fun watching my boyfriend freak out with every play! xD

Hopefully the Finals are just as entertaining!

 

[A-V-B]

A team wins a championship every season.

Coming soon on Game of Thrones, the Faceless Teams.

 

[Elfforkusu]

🐸 ☕

:lol, is that Kermit?

 

[ghostofsparta]

Dammit OKC what are you doing. KD and Westbrook missed a tonight. Please end it Saturday. Tired of hearing all these bandwagon fans at work. Fuck silicon valley tech bros

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

All the pressure is on OKC now, if they don't finish this in game 6 then they will be way to psychologically broken from blowing the series lead to win a game 7 in one of the most difficult places to win in NBA history.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Steph Curry is better than Michael Jordan.

 

[Fjordson]

How bout them rips on KD tonight. Multiple thefts.

Think it's pretty safe to say this now...best defensive guard in history?

 

[Exploratory]

Fuck errybody. That is all.

 

[Fjordson]

Steph Curry is better than Michael Jordan.

Eh, it's close, I dunno. Certainly more mental resolve and toughness, though. A game like tonight with torn ACL's and MCL's in both knees? Jordan never did that.

 

[numble]

Eh, it's close, I dunno. Certainly more mental resolve and toughness, though. A game like tonight with torn ACL's and MCL's in both knees? Jordan never did that.

Jordan's ACL and MCLs wanted to tear but he fought it off with mental resolve and toughness, and so he just got the flu instead.

 

[Fjordson]

That's a good point tbh.

Speaking of the flu game, really hoping I can cop the flu game 12's coming out this weekend. Gonna be tough to get them.

" What if I told you. . . The greatest team of all time ... Wasn't the greatest in 2016"

 

[TheAutomator]

GSW right now are probably one of the best teams in history.

But if they pull off this comeback, they will be the greatest team of all time.

Sorry Jordan.

 

[DJwest]

Is this a joke post? Sorry my sarcasm detector isn't working.

This makes no sense .
OKC has two chances , GSW has only one.
GSW got blown out at OKC twice already.

OKC has already won at GS. And from yesterday's game it seems OKC can play at GS fine.

All the pressure is on GSW... They lose they are eliminated .

 

[RockTurtle]

They might, but I just can't see them winning three straight against this rejuvenated OKC team.

1/3....

 

[entremet]

Nope. You're not getting away with this silliness. The pressure is still on the Warriors. They face two elimination games and they were supposed to win this series.

 

[phanphare]

Nope. You're not getting away with this silliness. The pressure is still on the Warriors. They face two elimination games and they were supposed to win this series.

okc must close this out at home if they want to get to the finals, they'll be feeling the pressure for sure

 

[Stat Flow]

Steph Curry is the GOAT. Jordan honestly was carried by his team. Steph Curry would destroy him 1x1. 3's in your face, you little bitch.

 

[shiftplusone]

That's right. Green also sets the best moving screens. The best, Jerry.

And I challenge anyone to find a better tackler in professional basketball.

I have not seen that before

wow

Ok come on now. Even the biggest Pats hater couldn't claim that ALL FOUR of Tom's wins were won because of alleged cheating.

They don't have the benefit of the doubt

the red sox hadn't won in like a billion years then all of a sudden tom brady wins 3 and then the red sox start doing it too?
suspect


Boston sports are ALL tainted with asterisks

 

[Fjordson]

Nope. You're not getting away with this silliness. The pressure is still on the Warriors. They face two elimination games and they were supposed to win this series.

I'd say the Thunder have at least 33.33%, repeating of course, of the pressure on them.
