Draymond Green just makes me dislike GSW.

Golden State is going to give this game away with dumb turnovers.

I like a lot of guys on GS, but I find myself rooting for them to lose just because of Green.

watching GSW this series I can't help but wonder how they set the record for most wins in a season.

I honestly expected a Golden State blowout tonight. The fact that this is still close confirms my belief that this ends in OKC on Saturday.

I don't know. Curry looks to have got his groove back. This could be a seven gamer!

As I stand with my prediction- OKC in 6.

Warriors needed to win this one, and it was a close contest. This series is over on Saturday.

I agree. I think OKC win the next one at home.

I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

Thunder went 13/30 from deep and lost. Rebounds were even.

I have a hard time seeing the Thunder lose at home but man, if they do,  Warriors got this.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Harrison Barnes is the guy who needs to step up for Golden St.  Hit a 3 on the first play of the game and did basically nothing for the rest of the game.  He's gotta be the #3 guy on offense and let Draymond focus more on defense.

Game 6 is gonna be a brawl.  Both teams will be playing like it's an elimination game.  Can't wait.

Real story of the game was free throws - OKC lost by 9 in a game where Golden State outscored them by 11 from the free throw line.

Felt their defensive intensity was lacking from the jump, so I'm not surprised with the loss. I expect them to correct their mistakes at home - with a more favorable whistle -and close this series out in Game 6.

My hot take for the past two weeks was that Andrew Bogut could end up being the key to the series.   Huge game from him tonight with 30 minutes.   

Not a major leap of logic, though.   Size is still important to the NBA.   When you're dealing with a team like the Thunder with multiple 7 footers, you might need to throw some size out there as well.  For the Warriors sake, hopefully Bogut keeps it up.

OKC aren't letting GSW win another when they are so close to the finals esp Durant and Westbrook with all the criticism they've heard.

GSW didn't look like themselves in their 3 losses and barely won this game in the 4th

OKC in 6
