Well its been real guys.

RIP KD's Jumpshot 2007-14

'We had a good run'

I 'm not watching basketball until October 29th, 2016.

Brah out.

I'm not giving up.

Warriors by 30. We led for 3.5 quarters at home tonight and choked. Durant choked. Durant choked in the worst way possible.

Warriors ride this momentum en-route to a 30+ win in game 7. This OKC team, one that was impossibly frustrating and disappointing all season long, let us OKC fans down in ultimate fashion getting outscored 33-18 in the fourth quarter of a must-win game six in the WCF. They lived up to their true colors when it mattered most. We should've have expected less. This team is still a low-IQ team that got for two weeks at the right time but still ultimately reverted to their true form and let us down.

It's a damn shame both these teams can't advance to the finals. I think either would handle CLE easily.

Keep your heads up! We live to see another day! You're kidding yourselves if you think the Thunder are going to lay down on Monday.

Has Durant(later years) ever been embarrassed this bad in the playoffs?

2013 Grizz series / i guess he came back better in 2014)
2012 Finals / came back better in 2013

Is this his Dirk moment?
Lebron 2011 finals moment?
Kobe 2008 finals moment?

For all KD's epic choking, Russ had 4 TO's in the last 4,5 minutes or something. They outscored us by 12 in that timespan.

OKC got in it.. but GSW is NOT just a typical "good team". They are a monster and ... yeah.....they are VERY tough at home in a money game. OKC had to take THIS game. The series has changed. The odds now? Go figure.

Nope. I pray we get the reaper that dropped 17 in the 4th against the Spurs to basically decide that series, but I just know we're gonna get another game from this KD who's shooting like 33% in close out games this series.

I think the main problem with KD has been the way we've been using him. His shots aren't that different compared to the RS, but the way he's getting them he's different.

Maybe Donovan was right about turning him a little bit more into a spot-up-shooter.

They will come in game 7 and get it done. OKC will walk into Oracle and win by 20+.

Can't take anything away from Klay btw. 11 threes in a close out game on the road is historically ridiculous. Singlehandledly kept this game from turning into a blowout during that 2nd Q and then just went on to completely bury us until Steph showed up too.

He's shown a lot more mental fortitude than Russ and KD these past couple of games.

Your team is great, absolutely worthy of winning a championship. I've been made a believer in Adams and Roberson because of this series. Is there anything that Adams can't do? Tremendous rebounder, tremendous ballhandler for his size, underappreciated passer, feather soft touch around the bucket, great hands, hits his freethrows, one of the best defenders on the perimeter for his size(blocked a Curry 3)...what's next, adding a 3pt shot?

Roberson is fantastic, top tier perimeter defender, knocks shots down when called upon, very strong rebounder. OKC fans been singing his praises all season and now I get it.

So having Roberson in foul trouble was a big reason you guys lost this game. And why would Donovan take Adams out down the stretch and go small? He's playing right into the Warriors hands who are more comfortable going small.

Yeah, not gonna watch the game on monday. Will probably launch the league pass on tuesday morning and see if we are still in the game with 4 minutes left ( certainly not)

totally agree with the KD part but have to disagree with the rest. We played a smart game actually. The pace was perfect, westbrook was dictating the game. Adams, Roberson and Ibaka were playing more than ''ok''. KD started bad from first quarter and got nervous/mad and started playing low IQ basketball. I still think we played high IQ basketball, but our main player left us on this one.

GS couldn't handle the cavs easily even when they were missing two of their stars. I don't think either team would handle the cavs "easily".
