    So that "take him out" incident happened in game 4. I thought the Thunder's Adams/Kanter lineup was really working.

    Anyway, Billy Donvan had this to say about it:
    "I’ve tried to foster that kind of stuff because I think what happens a lot of times with players is a lot of times it may be, I don’t want them to feel like they can’t come to me,” Donovan said.

    Now NBA coaches can't even talk. This is the way a 7th grader would speak. I think what happens a lot of times with players is a lot of times it may be I don't want them to feel like they can't come to me?!?!

    Yeah there's a real disconnect between how out of bounds is used as a game management tool versus how the letter of the rule is stated.

    I can't wait either. Warriors will probably win by 50 though.

    If OKC wins game 7 it would be even better than if the Oakland Nuts-Kickers lost in 5, but that so unlikely to happen.

    This will be an easy win for Warriors I reckon, if there's one team in the league who completely crumble under pressure and are completely incapable of winning close games when it matters most, it's the Thunder. I still prefer Thunder to go through.

    I wonder how different would people's take on Warriors be if they did not have Green? Personally I find both him and Bogut the only two players I truly dislike, in Green's case I can probably say I hate him. I don't really like Curry either but he's not quite as hateable. Thompson is a bit bland, I don't mind him, he's the sort of player I forget exists after the game is over.

    KD going for 50, putting away the "unreliable" tag, and OKC wins by double digits.

    I can't watch.

    The Warrior lovefest that oozes from the commentators is too much.

    Home court is really about game 7. There is advantage any time but in game 7 it's huge. Home team is something like 100-24 in game 7. OKC may rue the game 6 for a long time.

    OKC looks sharp. KD is attacking off the catch instead of holding the ball like last game.

    This. And I also normally root for the underdog unless it's a team I hate immensely.
