NBA Playoffs 2015-2016

OKC smelling blood. Golden State's looking shook.

Man the Warriors really may be heading on that 07 Pats route...

Just read an article from Chris Mannix talking about how the NBA was right in not suspending Green. Basically, he says that it's better for the league that fans get to watch the two teams battle it out at full strength.

I honestly hate the decision. With the C's eliminated, I don't have a dog in this race; and as much as I hate seeing a team get handicapped, I hate biased decisions even more so. Even worse is that this incident comes off the heels of the Dahntay Jones incident, where he got suspended a game for doing pretty much what Green did!

I get it. Stars get calls. They get the benefit of the doubt. But this decision is dripping with so much bias that it's hard to stomach. At this point, if Green reaches the limit for techs, I wouldn't be surprised if the league rescinds one of his techs to keep letting him play.

If this was Avery Bradley or Amir Johnson kicking someone's groin, you can bet it's a 1-2 game suspension plus a few hundred thousand dollar fine.

It's funny that Demarcus Cousins seems really bitter about it as well on Twitter. I guess he feels like he routinely gets the short end of the stick and then this happens.

When he gets his team to the Conference Finals he can start to complain. He doesn't even get them to the playoffs.

Or even getting his team to .500 to begin with...

Thunder playing too nervously to end that quarter. Making a lot of dumb unforced errors. Need to settle down.

Between this horrible shot selection and this carelessness with the ball, Gokden State deserves to lose this. I've been so uneasy with their shot selection all playoffs long, but they've been hitting shots before this series, meaning you couldn't really argue with it. As for the turnovers, most of them are just careless, unforced turnovers. They really took OKC for granted, and credit to them for taking it to them.

Officiating is lopsided, though. 12-6 fouls so far, and the refs have heavily leaned towards OKC this game giving them then benefit of the doubt more than GS.

WHAT A PASS, ADAMS!

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Gokden State looks defeated already. That offense isn't so stellar when you're not making ridiculous shots, huh?

Looks like the Warriors might be sunk. Curry can get hot occasionally but he's clearly not the guy who won back to back MVPs. Warriors can't reach the next gear, and the Thunder have reached a level they haven't reached since 2012.

[SparzWizard]

This might be OKC's year.

I mean, yeah, they are sort of reliant on Curry being Curry in order to be the Warriors we've seen. They are still really good, but not "Clearly the best team in the league, maybe greatest ever" good.

Curry going out like a punk. What is he 1-10?

Warriors benefited from injuries last year, so in some ways I suppose it's fair in a way that an injury might be what undoes their great season.

Uh, more like going out like a guy who sprained his knee a few weeks ago....

[PhoSita]

You gotta give it up for the Thunder. Two series in a row they've made historically great regular season teams look slow and outgunned.

Just destroying right now.

Looks like no matter what a team without a title is gonna come away with one this season.

Crazy.
