 For all the talk about them revolutionising small ball lineups, at the end of the day there not big enough to beat another great team with bigger more athletic player's .

 Adams, Obama, Durant, Roberson, Westbrook just too big and talented for them.

 Also have done well with Adams, Kanter, Durant frontcourt. OKC does have two of the five best players in the world and that sure helps, but deep down I could not wrap my head around having a 6'6" PF in green as your 2nd biggest player.

Can you wait until the game (or rather the series) is over?

warriors might need to try playing Bogut more minutes.

 Nope. There done this Year, GS started making a run as I was writing this, but it doesn't matter. OKC too talented and too big for the Brick Brothers.

It has definitely killed them rebounding-wise, though it doesn't help that OKC is the best rebounding team in the league.

 Bogut is not good enough. Adams and Obama are both much better and even Kanter scores better

 Spell check changed Ibaka to Obama lol, I'm leaving it like that.

 I think Obama may play better than Bogut right now.

 See what I mean this is OKC Championship to lose now. Forget about Durant, he may retire in OKC now.

Do the Warriors miss David Lee?

It's a quasi-serious question.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Green knew this would be tough for his lack of size. He can't stop the monsters on OKC and they are just daring him to shoot.

They can still win but I think they're just exhausted from this regular season.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

^^ this. Let's see what happens. And even if they get eliminated in the WCF after a 73-9 season, this is not exactly a bad run they had.
