Western conference finals - OKC vs GS

[T]

Before I start diving into stats and info. Just think about this :

Regular Season means nothing in the playoffs...As we witnessed with OKC vs SA.

OKC found a formula vs an old and slower SA. Speed it up push the ball run and gun - make TD AND LM rendered useless.

Betting on a team because of the how they performed in the previous series is just foolish.

Please don't tell me how OKC had leads in the 4th Q. Its the RESULT that counts...

I can't tell you how many people won't watch the NBA till 5 mins left in the 4Q.

So the plan was to out run and gun SA and it worked.

Will that be the plan vs GS cause that could get ugly real quick.

OKC's bench is garbage compared to GS.

Now all of sudden Adams in the next Hakeem. :mj07:

CHATTER CHATTER about OKC's big's giving GS trouble...Really ?

It's all about matchups.

Back later.

Wonder what the OKC backers will think going home down 2-0.

Basically posting to tell us you're on GS, got it. Would've never guessed LOL

The Warriors for the first time in 2 years are playing a meaningful game against a healthy team worth a damn. I think it'll be tough for the Thunder to win 4 games against the Warriors, but I also thought there was no way in hell they could beat SA 2x in a row, yet alone 3. If Billy D keeps up his witty changes and goes at GS with their advantages, they have a chance. But not having a 3rd option will ultimately be their downfall.

Good stuff "T"!

One thing during the post-season and you eluded to how these teams played vs each other in regular season, the Spurs were tired going down the stretch in each game vs OKC and Billy D pushed the right buttons.

Now vs Golden St, this is an entirely different animal with a wounded Curry who's about 95% of his usual self. How did Golden St shoot FG% w/o Curry and what was their defensive FG% allowed? They showed an achilles heal vs Portland and OKC will exploit that. Big men for GS if you include Draymont Green as a big man, have to post up and play vs Adams and Ibaka or dish off to Thompson & Curry for open looks, so key for GS will be to get Iggy & Barnesy to penetrate vs OKC and get the bigs in foul trouble, something that the Spurs didn't do. OKC allowed Kawhi to get his but they shut down everyone else which was the key to beating the Spurs. GS is younger, quicker, better shooters all around than the Spurs so I can see this series going 6, maybe 7 games but I can't see OKC beating GS w/Curry playing each game, if Curry goes down, I believe OKC can win the series w/o Curry, so another key, Curry must be able to play each game.

I can see the Heat winning game 7 @ Toronto on Sunday and the Heat don't match up well at all vs Cavs except in one area and if Whiteside can't play vs Cavs, Cavs will take Miami in 5 or 6 games. Heat would have to shoot the lights out to even hang with the Cavs. This years' version of a healthier Cavs team, last yr no Irving or Love as they were gimp most of the post-season. This year, they've been healthy and the other cast of players have done their parts, Smith, Shumpert, Thompson, Mozzy, so to say the least, it will be an interesting finals.

No dog in this fight but OKC does have some weapons. Any news on Bogut? He could be a big loss against the 2 big set of Adams and Canter...just thoughts :shrug:
