    His shot selection is really worrying. Feast or famine. I just don't think a player shooting 33% could be considered a star in the league.

    The formula for beating a good team on the road always seems to be coming from behind in the 2nd half.
    The home team finds things easy at first and build a lead. Then in the 2nd half someone gets hot (I.e Westbrook)
    Then down the stretch in the 4th, the wrong people are taking the critical shots under pressure.

    Barnes, Iguodala, Livingston, and Speights all took critical shots when OKC was making their final push....and missed. Which took the ball out of Curry's hands. I doubt that will happen again.

    Bullshit lol

    Look at Durant's percentages. It demolishes the real feast or famine

    Durant's shooting numbers in this year's playoffs:
    Fg% .435
    3p% .279

    Throw in 3.6 turnovers and you've got some Ethiopia level famine.

    Oh completely. Just putting Tunchi in his place. He can't call Dame "feast or famine" if he can't do the same for Durant in the playoffs this year.
    I would love to add Durant to this team!

    I don't really mind this Thunder team to be fair. Westbrook and Durant are fine players, Kanter and Adams are quite cool, their fans are passionate and on top of that I've had some fun with that roster in 2K.

    Playoffs are showing GSW's vulnerability. They blitzed through the regular season, and the no. 8 seed. It took all they had to beat the unheralded Blazers. Now they blow a 14 point lead on their home court?

    Obviously, just one game, they could still come back and win it all. But there is a great deal of "this wasn't supposed to happen" feeling here in Oaktown.

    I hate their fan-base with a passion. I hope golden state wins. Fuck Cleveland, and fuck Oklahoma. No shame in losing to the eventual champs.

    Their team doesn't bother me at all though. Unlike the clippers...

    Haha, yeah Durant is an absolute stud and his 1-8 performance at the end of the 4th quarter almost cost them the game. But he is a superstar player and one of the reasons the Thunder are a great team. If he goes 1-8 you can live with that and wouldn't really want anyone outside of Westbrook to be taking those shots at the end of games. Just like Dame, live or die with your best players, I'll take that any day. I was just giving you a hard time because if Dame went 1-8 in the 4th you would be all over that.

    watched game 1.
    really seemed like the warriors plan was to knock Westbrick around a bit. See if they could get him to play heroball.
    Kudo's to Westbrick for not letting them get under his skin.
    Where are the Thunder bigs to knock Curry around a bit. Especially when he flexes after making a shot over you.
