cool 4-1
Don't get too comfortable. Thunders aren't the Blazers and Blazers didn't have 2 top five players on their team.

That's the same thing people thought when Thunder played Spurs

Over the course of the regular season they shared home court with each team taking 2 wins a piece. So it made sense analytically to say the team with home court advantage would take the series in the playoffs. That's why people leaned towards SAS.

It is unfortunate that even though OKC deserves their place in the WCFs, they did it not without the help of some bad refereeing decisions especially in game 2 and 5 (for Kawhi's foul on Westbrook that wasn't called) and both games happened to be in Texas.

Anyways, I am amped to see what the WCFs has to show. I hoped GSW would have gotten more time to rest, but the 3 or is it 4 days is not bad.

It is going to be an interesting matchup because OKC are very athletic and explosive with alot of heroball playing. It is very hard to look beyond GSW for 3 major reasons:

1. I doubt they would lose back to back games. They just find a way to win regardless.

2. They have home court advantage. And their fast-paced gamed surely favors GSW.

3. They have the MVP.

There will be some close games in-between that will be highscoring as well. But if per adventure, OKC pulls through, I have no doubt that Lebron will pick a 3rd ring.

I know Lebron will pick up a third ring but i want him to sweat for it. Maybe he should pick it up when he is 40 grin .I can't forget how he hyped himself so much like he is better than jordan.Checkmystat T-shirt really made me not appreciate him as an NBA player

is eruditor on the cavs wagon also ?

okc's coach deserves some credit for this win whatever adjustment he made to counter LMA scoring obviously worked.
I really feel bad for David west,not a lot of people can sacrifice money for their dream.

I am not on any Cavs Wagon o and I fully want GSW to win it all. But I am not convinced OKC can beat Cavs if both teams meet at the finals.

I still think GSW can beat OKC in 5 games.

were all the rockets fans for this thread?
Aside passing I don't know what else Harden does better than Klay Thompson. Did you see how he shut down Dame Lillard and still dropped 33pts on just 17 shots? Klay is a natural. To ba fi ishan si he can be a top 5 player in the League

Ewuro4:
I hate to say this but I TOLD YOU SO cool
Lmao. You guys have to get past a potential injury to Demare Carroll as well. E never sure yet

Many reasons why the Spurs lost to OKC. Yes people can talk about the refereeing but I don't see any decision that didn't go the Spurs way that would have given them a W

That their rookie coach really knows his onions. The adjustments he made I never saw Scottie Brooks do in all his years as their coach.

They murdered the Spurs on the boards too. When a guy like Kanter can come off the bench and pick up 13 rebounds the series is likely to go your way.

TD and Ginobili need to walk though. Really they should have done so when they beat the Heat. What are they trying to do? Catch Jordan?

Suddenly, Queen James believes there should be a different parameter in determining what "valuable" means in the MVP.. i love Cuurry's response..

The guy annoys me.He is trying to say Curry has more talented stars in his team but queen james forgot he recruited Kevin Love and jumped with Kyle Irving. Queen james is really annoying. I hope GSW makes it to the final (No vex Durant, there is always next year) and stick it to this clown. He is always trying to hype himself like he is better. If he is the best,he should leave the East and compete in the west.

This is exactly the same thing I notice about him which makes me dislike him and want him losing everytime. He recruited Love, had Irving, Also brought James Jones from Miami, Iman Shumpert and JR Smith. Now why should anyone be surprised if he wins in the east when he did the same thing going to Miami and ended up winning. Some of his He's fans sometimes have that ego and self hype issue. Like no one bothered about GSW rosters until last year or who even bothered about Green. Curry on the other hand is humble who didn't even give him full dose of reply. MVP is MVP he should go sleep with his personal definition of MVP. If only he tackled Green undecided
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 1:01pm On May 14, 2016
this isn't the first time this MvP issue don come up.
last season my MvP was harden simply because that teams collapses when he is missing.
there is no argument concerning who is the MVP this year
(73-9) is all the argument curry really needs.
@smoohschn he was winning in the east in his first cavs stint.

LeBron is a sensitive ninja. He loves and craves the attention. The fact that it is going to Curry is eating him up inside

Try not to get swept. I really hope you guys can beat the Cavs somehow. That megedefegede Queen James chatted about Curry's MVP award has increased the bad belle to stratospheric levels.

You guys beat them in the regular season na

And Amare Stoudemire. That nigga needs to retire. Haba! If you are not going to put some effort in the playoffs just retire

I dey hia o cheesy, I'm a Lowry fan so I'm happy to see the dude win game 7 in a big way.

I think they matchup better against cavs - their backcourt is dangerous, and if they get Valanciunas back, they will wake the cavs with a win or two.

Well the paranoia is real.... We are terrified of the dude.

Was that a press conference or just a random interview( Lebron)? Didn't hear about it. Dude's too cocky no doubt.

I know we beat them and we can if we keep up with same game 7 pace but im not confident our boys realize this is the playoffs and James dangerously wants this for Cavs. They swept Atl 4-0.

Amare (face shield guy? grin ) is defo done.

When cavs is filled with shooters like channing fyre, k.love, jr smith, king james nd irving... If cavs dont sweep them, highest they can go is 4-1.. Shoutout to heats for grindin so hard I know if hassan whiteside played, the would have qualified

Remove James from that list of prolific "Shooters" and Whiteside wouldn't have changed the game too much to help them qualify.
