No team's ever beaten a 73-win team, let alone a 67-win team AND a 73-win team in the same playoff run, so that alone would be unprecedented, haha.

No team has ever had the chance.

That's my point.

See what happens when you put a shadow on Curry.

I want the GSW to lose so badly that we can return to old fashion basketball where you win with the inside game and not all this three point prancing.

Looking like OKC has got this.

GS going back home for game 5 could shift the momentum. This series is far from over even with them down 3-1

OKC's never lost a series they've led 2-1, let alone (possibly) 3-1. Durant's averaged like 30 in closeout games. They're not going to choke away three chances to advance.

I think you're probably right, but then again I thought the same thing about the Clips last year.

Clippers have no such record in the playoffs, not really comparable.

Thunder have been the better team defensively. Green has been taken out of his game by OKC's bigs.

love the way OKC is playing against GSW and the zebras, That is what you need to kill a giant.

Ehh, he (and the team as a whole) hasn't been making even open shots. But that also goes with your point of small ball and relying so heavily on the three - sometimes you just don't hit them.

It's really Durant who's killed him this series.

Yep. That's what you ultimately get when you play that small all of the time.

Credit OKC with sticking to their big guys when most teams would've matched up.

There's just no way that Golden State can rebound with OKC with this small of a lineup.

Golden State's been absolutely demoralized.

Where be those haters of mine saying OKC will lose in Game 4??  ;D ;D ;D

Still sticking it to OKC in 6. I'll give one game to the Warriors in Game 5. But it'll be hilarious if the 73-9 season team get bounced at home.
