Game Thread WCF - Warriors vs Zombie Sonics - Series thread

Adam Silver's favorite move, legitimate basketball play apparently.

 

This Green guy has quickly turned into the biggest flopping tool in the NBA.

So we now have the (far more dangerous) front-court version of Harden.

 

Durant missed 19 shots and was completely shut down by little Curry down the stretch. That is why Curry has 2 MVPs and KD only has 1.

 

Green's leg kicks are so obviously intentional at this point. The NBA should be embarrassed they let it get this far. Weather it's intentional or not, it's still a reckless play, and the rules state that should be a flagrant foul.

I would love to see one of the Thunder kick someone in the head and one of those officials dare to call a foul on that player.

 

Kevin Durant can't deliver down the stretch!
Tell that to the Mavs, Lakers, Cavs and Griz. 11 times he has hit the game winner and he always wants the shot.


Here are a number of Stephen Curry's game winners.


They are both great players and without a doubt two of the very best pure shooters in the entire league. They both have a very good defensive game also. Just to ever be a league MVP?

Learn the game then post.

 

Anybody else feel that the officiating last night was designed to keep GSW afloat? It seemed like the first half every questionable call or non-call was in favor of GSW.

Down the stretch is was really disappointing to see OKC shoot everything off the dribble. It seemed like it was from the mid-3rd to the mid-4th before a shot came off a pass - everything else was either Westbrook or Durant shooting bad shots off the dribble. When they finally passed to Ibaka he canned a couple 3s. Funny how passing that ball leads to better shots...

 

I think it was pretty much a given GSW would win Game 5. At home, with the league really wanting the series to continue. I still think OKC in 6.

 

It was inevitable. I thought OKC got the benefit of the calls in OKC. They manhandled Curry pretty well there. Tough to win on the road unless you come from behind late and steal it while the home team gets complacent.

 

I have a lot of confidence in OKC playing Thunder basketball and managing to drop the next game to the Warriors.

 

Thunder need to pound GS, because if the game is close we all know they don't have the mental fortitude to close it out, especially with the refereeing down the stretch.

 

There was a whole lot of home cooking going on last night. What gets me, is I have a hard time understanding who Green gets away not getting ejected every single game from picking up technical fouls.

 

GS needed everything they had, and copious help from the stripes, to beat OKC at home in an elimination game.

This does not bode well for GS. Unless the league takes over the series as they've been known to do (reference 2000 and 2002 Lakers championship run), or unless OKC lays a huge egg at home, it looks like OKC in six. And I'm ok with that.

 

I think the Warriors hand out t-shirts to all the fans so they don't go home with enormous spooge stains on their backs from the ejaculation fest every time a basket is made. They are raincoat yellow after all.

 

I think the Thunder should hand out shirts that read

"We get a kick out of Draymond"

 

On the one hand I really appreciate how their fans were so into the game from start to finish. But they were acting like they were killing OKC when they were generally only up 4-6 points. And the players, too - striking poses, etc. Shut it scrote, get back and play defense!
But then when the fans chanted "refs you suck" after getting the benefit of EVERY questionable call...that made me hate their entire fanbase. So. Fucking. Entitled.

 

As much as I hate clay Bennett, I'd give him props for that.
