Thank you. Nice to see a reasonable take. Or you could just be making excuses and spinning the (bleep) out of it.

I'd be happier about this if I believed that OKC could actually get past LeBron and Co.
OKC has been his personal (bleep) for years.
If they can then yes this is awesome
Otherwise its yet another ring for LeBron 
I guess I can't complain too much I saw Manning win a ring at the end can't be too greedy and expect LeBron to lose another Finals... |

What Curry has done the last couple of seasons has been amazing because the shots he is taking have such a low margin for error.
Now it seems like he is coming back to earth a bit, all of the sudden he is mortal and some of those shots now maybe are "bad" shots as he is a bit off and you have to be perfect when you are shooting from 25-30 feet out.

yea man, deservedly so. At least Kyrie bounced back at game 4. Whatever happened to K.Love the rebounding machine. He can't even shot open 3s anymore. I thought being a 2nd/3rd string to a Lebron team would be perfect for him |

So, where are the excuses for Mr. Unanimous? Jesus Christ, this team wins 1 title and all of the sudden it's the model for success in the nba. People here (you know who you are) starting (bleep) threads asking if the Lakers could be The Warriors South. Turning Russell into Curry, Randle into Green, Luke into Kerr. Hell, change the Lakers unis to blue and have the logo be the 6th Street Bridge.
Oh, and ESPN LA is on suicide watch. God forbid they talk about the Lakers, Doyers, or Rams if the Dubs get eliminated. There will be nothing to talk about!!! AAAAHHHH!!

I do believe Steph Curry is hurt but at the same time I also believe they ran into a team that's fully healthy and a bad matchup for them. They wished they had the Spurs instead.
The Warriors are the shiny new toy along with Curry and now its losing some of its luster its time to pile on.
The Warriors were very lucky to even win the title last season to begin with. |

Nothing wrong with being lucky.
They are still the champions.
Lakers and other teams have had their share of luck to win. |

| OKC is reminding me of a mix between the 2011 Mavs and 2004 Pistons. They've caught fire on both ends of the court at the perfect time and are playing with a sense of urgency that wins championships. |

Agreed. It's that team that comes along every few years that's on a mission and everyone forgets about.

If they are able to get by San Antonio, Golden State and say Cleveland, that will be one of the great playoff runs of all time, no doubt about it.

Yeah, as far as strength of schedule goes it would be the greatest playoff run ever. 67 win team, 73 win team, and then 57 win team. Hopefully they pull it off because KD is 3-13 vs Lebron including 2012 finals. |

There were so many defensive about the Warriors and Curry when people would make any doubtful or negative remakes. That'll make tides turn quick. |

Westbrook is (bleep) insane. He's the only one right now with that Kobe-esque drive, like a maniac.
Too bad that if the Thunder goes to the Finals he won't leave next year. |

they won't leave anyway. They would've had to of been eliminated in the previous rounds to cause speculation.

I can see the Thunder losing 3 straight. Warriors have 2 games at home where they are godly. They just need that game 6 in OKC.
I cannot trust OKC until proven wrong. So erratic with their play. |

You either ignore the numbers or i don't know, maybe you're just a hater too. But if you really really want, maybe i can link you to some numbers that unequivocally prove that they're an all time great team, cause the metrics by which the all time greats are measured are pretty much crushed by their team, outside of the 96 bulls.
