The gs fall

[konkmv]

What i see in these series is that the taller and stronger thunder are killing the warriors.. small ball is good but big ball can give you more when you are good coached... they have no match against ibaka adams kanter.. my point is... draft big... there are some tall guys that can shoot and protect the rim in this draft.. bender maker zimmermann skai.... they just need patience

GSW's small ball had some very good results for two consecutive seasons; too early to write it off based on one bad series. Again, I do not like their team but give credit where credit is due.

Also all the posters writing as if the series were over: be careful not to jinx it...

A thread like this would have sounded crazy a few weeks back with GSW breaking records. They are being tested and the Thunder look very good but 'it ain't over ...sings'. Has really created an interesting clash of styles all the same.

What is deadly about OKC is their Big Small Ball line up.
Russ
Waiters
KD
Robinson
Ibaka
They match up quite well with that line up.

Curry is hurt. Nothing else to see.

Might be true. But the thunder are also playing him exceptionally well.

Yes they're fouling and holding him, but it's the playoffs too. They're not letting him get anything going. And it seems to be working.

Yeah, they are. Pretty much the perfect storm. OKC finally healthy and their role players are stepping up big. Wouldn't be surprised to see them win it all.

Not so much GSW fall. More like the rise of OKC.
- They're clicking at the right time.
- Westbrook looks like a lethal point guard who wants to do more than just win the scoring title
-KD is healthy...so he looks like KD
-Andre Roberson, normally a defensive specialist, is becoming more useful on the offensive end.
-Ibaka looks like his old self again, especially on defense
-Steven Adams, IMO, has been the most important part of it. He's been really, really good in the post between his post game and rebounding. Him and Kanter and demolishing GSW on the boards.
