You're RIGHT AT THE RIM, DUNK THE BALL!

Then of course Thompson hits the 3, another 5 point swing just like that.

Reminds me of what Wade did to Rondo.

Green pulled him down it's his own fault.

Actually, it was the exact opposite of everything you said haha...Green locked him up and pulled him down, and he didn't really even fall on top of him

This game has a lot of similar feelings to game 6.  With the way both teams played in that first half, it feels like the Thunder should be up at least 15, yet they're only up 6.  The Warriors should feel fantastic about the spot they're in.

The main difference is that the Thunder weren't up more in game 6 at half mainly because of Durant and the terrible ball movement and bad shot selection.  Tonight the ball movement has been good, but shots aren't falling and they've missed ALOT of shots right at the rim.

Boy, Westbrook is doing everything he can to show Durant that he needs to change teams this summer, huh? How many horrible shots has he already taken tonight?

This feels like it should be a double-digit game. You'd think that it being only a six point game means GS will probably come back in the second half, but they've looked so disinterested at times this series that it's hard to tell.

[CelticSooner]

If GS continues to hit 3's they will win. Exact same situation as Game 6.

Live and die by the 3.  51% of their total field goals were 3's in game 6 - 45 total of 88 shots.

This is what, the third first half this series Golden State have shot under 40%? I mean, they've already won one of those games, but OKC's defense has just been incredible.

[jpotter33]

I mean, I know they reached the Conference Finals, but if they end up choking on a 3-1 series lead and Westbrook's shot selection and BBIQ is a big reason why they end up losing the series, I can't see a better scenario for Durant leaving than that. Those are things that won't be fixed with the current makeup of that team.

Many of us have long said that Westbrook and Durant aren't great together. I'd love to have either of them as the best player on our team, but I just don't think they mesh well. A choke job in the WCF might finally be the push that Durant needed to leave.

[SCeltic34]

Starters for both teams are playing heavy minutes.  Fitting for a game 7.  Donovan has only played 7 players - well 8, technically, with Foye getting 5 seconds of playing time.  Interesting to see if fatigue will kick in, especially for OKC.

Westbrook has to be "the guy." He has that mentality more so than Durant does. It can be both good and bad. Just depends on if the ball is going in the hoop. That's why I think he'll end up back home in LA. He'd be the king there.

[mahonedog88]

This is what makes playing the Warriors almost unfair.  That's bad offense, like really bad.  No ball movement at all, OKC actually playing really good defense...but Curry and Thompson might be the only two guys on the planet that can hit those kinds of tough 3s, and they just happen to be on the same team.

Again, not fair.
