Really?

This is the first I've really sat down and watched this series (been only watching highlights). Curry looks like he has less energy than normal out there to me. Jogging back on d, not cutting as relentlessly off-ball, and lacking spring. Not sure if this is how he's looked all series, but he looks either fatigued or he just doesn't have his wind. Not playing poorly tonight, but not MVP-level either.

That said, I agree, fun game so far.

Heh, i'll rephrase, then: curry looking more like curry again. He looked far worse last 2 games.

Marv lost it a while ago, I feel like he's been bad for like a decade now.

It's time for Harlan to become their lead premier guy. I haven't liked Marv's commentary in a few years now. He sounds lost way too often and makes a lot of mistakes every game with the score, names, calls etc.

Marv has been bad for years but I was willing to tolerate a certain amount of old man slippage given how warm and familiar the voice is. I felt the same way about pat Summerall doing the nfl as he became a train wreck during the 90s. He hit a tipping point though and now Marv has done the same, the sloppiness just outweighs all else. And as I'm typing this he has another screwup with regards to when Durant is going to shoot the tech (hint Marv: it already happened and you missed it). This guy continues to do play by play of meaningless shots during dead balls, as if he can't hear the whistle. Confuses calls by the refs, messes up names, just simple stuff all the time. He had curry getting an and-1 tonight when the whistle was for a timeout. He's just so bad. And tonight it's as bad as ever

Webber tries too hard to act like he's really analyzing the game when he's really just saying obvious, generic garbage

Marv is just a fool with a hair piece that doesn't seem to even know who's on the floor anymore

Agreed 100%. By the way, What happened to Kevin Harlan?

Am I the only one who plays music on the background while watching games? Gives a dramatic element to the moves and I can drown out bad commentary

Bob Costas is needed he was the greatest.

No. Mike Breen is better than him.

I'm doubting GSW's ability to stay competitive in game 6 given that they couldn't demoralize OKC in this game...they really Curry to pull out a performance like LeBron did against the Celtics in Game 6 in 2012 to stand a chance

RSCD3_ · Post #310 » by **RSCD3_** » Fri May 27, 2016 3:30 am

I feel like curry would have 12 assists if FT assists counted. The 6 assists / 5 turnovers underrates how well he used his gravity to pass out to others, so they could roll and get fouled. Also I saw a few turnovers charged to him where he threw an easy pass to draymond and bogut who flubbed it and he got the turnovers.

JulesWinnfield · Post #311 » by **JulesWinnfield** » Fri May 27, 2016 3:33 am

They never win at OKC. They had the buzzer beater there in the regular season and that is literally the only time they have won there in Steph's entire career when Westbrook or KD are in the lineup. 1-11 overall. It's a house of horrors for them. I'd be stunned and impressed if they kept this series alive past Saturday

Meh. He still had several completely careless turnovers including that big one with just under a minute left.

this OKC team is scary, i mean every time their top 2 guys shooting like 35%, they are still in it. (g1 g4 g5) On the other hand, we need Curry to shoot a lot better to have a chance to win.

I can't believe it. Maybe they are the better team afterall.

Yep, 70 percent.

They didnt win in San Antonio for 33 games and won and ended San Antonios undefeated home record this season.

First 2 games @ Okc were blowouts. Not gonna happen again i expect warriors to win

A better team can lose to a bad match-up, that's just basketball.

This is why the Warriors are so scary - Game 6 is almost a must-win for OKC now, no way they're gonna get the benefit of the whistle in a game 7 on the road at roaracle

bad match up or just better 2nd unit? I wanted Ezeli/Livingston/Barbosa/Varejao played like Waiters, Roberson, Morrow, Ibaka.. Is that too much to ask? :roll:

Anyone else feel OKC will need to blow out GSW in game 6 to win it?

Tonight was more about their role players not playing well offensively. Durant and RW take on heavy USG% to optimize shots other guys make. Those guys played better than average in earlier games in this series. Today they came back down to earth.

I thought Durant played very well, and I liked RW's aggression. RW just couldn't get it going.
