I noticed most of y'll gsw fans are so happy about they klay 41pts.. Lol thats nothing to meee.. King james scored 45 pts againt celtics in eastern conf finals in 2012 when the celtics were leading 3_2 and was clear from the opening tip in Game 6 that James was in full attack mode with his legacy on the line. He drove to the basket at will and scored or got fouled nearly every time. He also looked as
confident as he’d ever been with his outside shot. If klay 41pts is still making u go gaga, stop that asap.
Patiently waiting for finals..even if u qualify, we hve a healthy team unlike last yr when it took you 6 games to defeat the king alone when the other big 2 were out
No one here's been raving about Klay's 41pts and I recall when LeBron had his 45pts the media and fans didn't allow us rest. Pet Klay enjoy his day abeg. You really have to quit this my LeBron has done this done that. He's a great player everyone knows and have accepted.. Don't try to diminish someone's accomplishment cos another person already did. Klay had a great game don't try to make it sound any lesser than what LeBron did or than how Durant had 39 in the last game. You've got great players, GSW goes great players too. Pray we meet at finals so Cavs can play a tougher team and would be proud they beat the 73-9 team. That'll be an achievement for LeBron too.. But it's just a Joke of the century right?? Like saying we wouldn't come back from 3-1.. And hope both teams are healthy as there won't be any excuse..

Stop the trolling and lies. You want the weaker opponent to win so it'll be an easy pass for your Cavs and they can beat OKC 4-1 in finals and it'll be another so called "achievement" for your LeBron.. You're even making me hate the Cavs and their fans. Just accept it and Stop the lies abeg..
Lmao. So you mean cavs would beat okc 4_1 but the 73_9 team are either gon lose to them or win 4_3 to beat them.. You hype your team and you also underate them at the same time.. Man Im sick sad... We dont give a fu<k bout your hate too, its never oir style to give a fu<k grin

Curry had 31 points. He had 2 big steals again in the final mins. A dagger 3 to equal the game at 99-99. A clutch Lay-up. Curry won the game for GSW even though Klay kept them in the game.
The last point was counted for Draymond. I think there's been a Mistake somewhere. OKC don't play as a team. Westbrook and KD like the hero ball too much that's why I'm sure they can't beat the Cavs cos Cavs too has embraced the Brotherhood basketball and now play as a team as compared to last season and play slightly better. The last game must be won.. And did you see Barnes and Iguodala come to light?? Barnes Instagram was flooded yesterday. cheesy

I got my stat from NBA.com o. I could be wrong. But that's where it came from. Even the ESPN writers said 31. But whatever.

There's something called humility you Cavs fan or the "Former LeBron" not the new one cos LeBron has really be humble this post season that you guys don't know.. You just don't accept the truth even when it's staring at you. We GSW fans knew we didn't Play well in game 3 and 4 and we accepted it and moved on so why wouldn't we have to fight back and win 4-3? Why wouldn't we always accept we fücked up? Cos we don't like unnecessary excuses like "OKC had more points that's why they won" or because "Curry wasn't healthy" undecided And why I said Cavs will go 4-1 is because, There would be match up nightmares, Westbrook and KD will want to play their ISO or hero ball and Dion Waiters will want to get revenge.. That's all.. Not because okc isn't a great Western Conference Team..

don't worry you will see them play as brothers in game 7.
I never gave the warriors any chance in game 6,i was wrong.
I am not giving OKC any chance in game 7,
I expect to be wrong again.

Lol @ Play like brothers. GSW was 18 wins superior to OKC this season. It is not even close. I don't know why people want to think OKC let it slip, without seeing that GSW did same in game 1.

Sure OKC looked ruthless in the 3 and 4 blow-outs, but people forget that they also got blown out in game 2 and lost by 27pts.

Here is the series recap.

GSW 102- OKC 108 game 1
GSW 118- OKC 91 game 2
GSW 105- OKC 133 game 3
GSW 94- OKC 118 game 4
GSW 120- OKC 111 game 5
GSW 108- OKC 101 game 6

OKC won with 58pts in 3 wins. GSW now has 43pts differential in 3 wins too.

It therefore means GSW owes OKC a 15points + win to wrap up the series.

Lol @ Healthy team. It was because your team was unhealthy that you stole 2 games. Kerr did the right adjustments and went small, so Lebron and Mozgov had time to score buckets but guess what? They couldn't play defence and got tired. 3 easy wins after and the series was over.

Now with Kyrie, Love, Frye etc..yes the offense has improved. But Raptors stole 2 games from you. I guess it is safe to say, Raptors exposed Cavs too.
Re: The NBA Begins by kingsilly(m): 3:35pm On May 29, 2016
Whew, going back and forth this thread, a very good game earlier Today, and trolls looks for something to fault as a reason for the win, you know trolls when they attack another team when the loose and win, Lola you'll see GSW come June 2, when the cane start coming let's see what you'll be saying then

I can only tell you what I think.
warriors are better than the thunders,but screwed up that first game and after the thunders performance in game 3 and 4,they showed some cracks in this warriors team,
(i could forgive them for game 5,didn't watch but I read it was Close despite horrible shooting from Kd and Russ)
but in the fourth quarter of this last game they panicked.
they had you guys on the rope for a longtime, but the warriors kept their nerves and closed it out.

I just hope the cavs staff are taking note of some of the warriors weakness.

Lol..Klay and Steph also shot horribly in game 5. Difference is, they outrebounded OKC, made more points in the paint and got better numbers from the bench than OKC did. In OKCs defence the score looked close because OKC outshot GSW at the 3pt line 13-9. If you are looking for an OKC win at Oracle, you'd need better 3 pt shooting, better rebounds/boards, more from the bench and more points in the paint.

I don't mean to sound cocky but, that ain't happening man. If you wanna beat MayWeather, you are better off KOing him because if you give him a chance to take it to unanimous decision, he will score more points than you, very similar to GSW.

OKC had the chance yesterday to deal the KO blow. Letting this game get to game 7, is similar to letting judges decide MayWeather's fight. Even if it is by 0.001points, Warriors will win game 7.

minus the three point shooting (you cant win in a shootout against these guys) those are all the things are hope the cavs are working on.
OKC already missed their chance but we can still hope for a miracle.

Sigh, the thunders why sad, it doesn't look good for them game 7.. But if there was any team that could beat the dubs at the oracle, well that will be loud city (OKC)!

Although It might be very foolish to count out Oklahoma City in this Game 7; Curry’s shooting has been shaky for most of the series, and Thompson almost certainly won’t set an NBA record for 3pts in a second straight game!
If Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook perform like they did
in Game 3 and Game 4, the GSW effort in game 6 will just be swallowed by the annals of time


Durant has quietly also had a poor shooting series ( about 30 something % thereabout), thereby allowing Russell Westbrook to fill up the stat sheet and take over games, but Russell's decision making at times has been costly against the Warriors.


Golden State is unbeaten in their two chances to close out
a series this year so in as much I would like em to lose, its looking unlikely. If OKC really want this match then they really need to be efficient with their shot making and limit the splash brothers 3 point plays because those 3 points at the end really add up, *remem game 6*


Prediction ; Already betted that OKC got this series but I think this will be their last piece of action in the playoffs . GSW Win..

They had their chance. They blew it. I don't know why all of a sudden GSW became so bad that their home court means nothing. Curry's 6 3 points in a game is shaky shooting but Westbrooks 4/8 in game 4 and something similar in game 3, will be replicated at Oracle.

All of a sudden Klay will go cold and so would Curry but consistency is expected from OKC? LOL.

I don't know which was easier, OKC winning a game 1 or GSW winning game 6? I wonder how the better teams are decided sef.

It is easier for Klay to score 12 3s in game 7 than for KD and Russell to have similar games 3 & 4. I am disgusted at how undermined the warriors are.

I mean, they were 39-2 ahome in the regular season and 8-1 in the Playoffs. That's 47-3 so far, and a clutch, NBA WCFs winning game 7 is the one they will flop? Haba.
