Obvious from this game and the Portland game that the best way to beat OKC is to get down 20 first.

LeBron should be embarrassed at his performance from last night. May as well retire if that's the effort level he's going to bring.

Okc too good and they have yet another lottery pick in their possession, courtesy of the Pelicans.

Masterclass from him. Even though OKC will win, this is a clear W to Kerr and Golden State. The Thunder are not quite operating at the highest level just yet. They’re predictable.

That and SGA of course has the same amount of FTA as the entire warriors team

OKC have a good team but Shai is just what puts them over the top. He's just an unrelenting force. Literally never has a bad game.

Golden State has only shot 10 free throws this entire game. OKC's defensive non whistle is unmatched

Jimmy shooting 1 FT when he’s shot 61 in his last 5 games. Wild.

I can't believe the Knicks got beat by some of the Celtics scrubs whose names I never even heard of, and I watch quite a lot of NBA basketball. I'm looking at the Celtics' five on the court when game is being decided just thinking how is this even remotely possible.

Butler MIA
Hield can't hit thebocean from a boat
And Kerr still managed to make a game out of it, underrated coach.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

He left the game in the first half. This game was a ton of jumpers and taking advantage on the weakside of the OKC interior defense. Not a particularly physical game from either side, except Draymond getting himself a bunch of fouls quickly.

I feel sorry for the Sixers if Jimmy plays the next game, he’s gonna be due for a few.

Butler took two hard falls in the last game, NO on Saturday, and probably shouldn't have played at all. That's why he only played 15 minutes.
