[JordansBulls]

Thunder got 1 on the Road and thats huge. Lets see how the respond after game 2.

They will need to get another in GS to win series

They can do it they don't TO and feed it Steve Adams and slow the game down some. Also getting westbrook going. He had bad night hes a great player he will respond . Curry had terrible game 1 he bounced back.

It's gonna be tough though.

The second half of game 1 looked like a tribute to mark Jackson's offense. I can't see them bailing the thunder out so much with bad shots for an entire half.

[Nbafanatic]

The Warriors used the Death lineup way less yesterday, instead, they rotated their four centers and were able to win the boards by 9. The Thunder has to win the rebound battle to stand even the lesser of chances in this series. Klay did a bad shooting game, really his first in this playoffs, but did a very good job containing Westbrook. And Curry, please don't go chase those loose balls in the stands ever again!! Too much of a risk... I think Kerr will tell him something along those lines, seriously.

[tsherkin]

Klay did a bad shooting game, really his first in this playoffs,

4/14 in the playoff opener (2/6 from 3)
7/23 in G3 vs Houston (0/7 from 3)
7/20 in G2 vs Portland (5/14 from 3)
7/18 in G4 vs Portland (but 5/10 from 3)


It's really not his first bad shooting game in these playoffs at all.

True, I got selective memory on this one. Those first three games really do apply as bad shooting games. When I was writing, I remembered this game 4 of the Portland series, but the three ball saved him that day as you said, and I stand by that. But the other three games you're 100% right, thanks for refreshing my memory.

It happens.

Klay HAS been very good this postseason, though, which was probably your basic message anyhow

[GSP]

Huge game 4. Warriors are the best team at responding back maybe that ive seen. Theyre just too poised, have too much heart and confidence. Warriors hadnt won at San Antonio for 33 straight games and beat them this season at Sa. I expect them to win against Okc as well.

[Dr Positivity]

Feel like whoever wins tomorrow ends up the champ

[RSCD3_]

I feel cleveland could beat OKC still.

Anyways do or die time for steph

He's been effficient so far on slightly less volume, but his passing/defense impact have been alot lower than at rgular season levels, I expect GS to bounce back and be competetive this game and I hope steph looks for his shot more

[ppedro123]

What defensive impact?

He's a mediocre defender.

This whole "Curry is a pretty good defender" thing needs to stop.

[RSCD3_]

Golden State looks shook out there, and once again it looks like curry is hesitant to try and create scoring oppurtunities out there, he doesnt have to score 70 but he's being really passive out here the last two games and if this continues that OKC can get away with only having westbrook guard him, no picks or anything than GS will lose this series

Edit golden state is choking hard

[Dr Spaceman]

I get why people don't like to go there, but seeing Cuury blocked on a 3 twice in 2 games is enough for me to say he's not healthy.

There's no excuse for the rest of the team though. This is a clear mental collapse in the face of a team who can compete.

[toodles23]

Curry really looks off today. His shot has just been off, and it's not just OKC's D - he's missed some good looks from three that you would normally expect him to make, and he also missed two layups that in the regular season you got used to him making.

And yeah, his knee might be bothering him.

He's not 100% but he still looks 90% there athletically IMO.

For a compariosn 2013 lebron IMO was just as banged up as curry in the playoffs and he still had a huge impact. I guess thats the risk of 1 way only play, you cant dig in on defense and make up for your lost offense.

Regarding the two jumpers in both cases he was trapped in a spot with the shot clock running down, he didnt really have anywhere to go on those shots

Nah I don't agree he was stuck. He got the switch he wanted and called for an iso, at least in this game it's clear that's what happened.

His defense has been awful tonight by the way. Hes getting screened into oblivion.

On that note I think OKC is getting away with a lot more physicality than GS this game

GOATBROOK looking like 2006 finals Wade out there though

Yup. They set the tone when they called hat foul on Draymond on the very first possession.

Credit to OKC. They're a far better team than I thought they were. I freaking love Steven Adams.

GSW's mental issues are really glaring though. Missing bunnies and these awful awful turnovers. Barnes has been completely clueless on D tonight.

I don't even know what to say. This is insane.

[RSCD3_]

Looks like GS will have to win without curry

His play has made me sick to my stomach.

[Dr Spaceman]

And just like that Curry misses an open layup.
