Steph Curry has to be hurt, he is a complete shell of himself. Even so, I still can't believe what the Thunder are doing to Golden State. I never could have guessed this.

I am really hoping Toronto can pull off a miracle and beat the Cavs and have Lebron leave again this offseason just for entertainment purposes. Cleveland would be complete chaos.

Apparently Noah is telling teammates he won't be back in Chicago because of his disdain for the front office. It is mind boggling that Gar and Pax still have their jobs. It's going to be really hard to be a Bull's fan as long as they are at the helm.

I had a feeling not resting during that chase for 73 would come back to bite. Just so happens they run an athletic freakshow in OKC and they can't keep up.

I'm thinking Warriors win big.

I'm hoping for it also, because I'm still a Lebron hater. I don't think OKC can beat the Cavs. Although Kyrie is an awful defender so Westbrook would probably average 28/12/10 for the series. They just don't have an answer for Lebron. Iggy is about the only guy left who can bother him.

Does anyone else think this game 7 could determine KD's offseason move? If they go on to the finals he stays in OKC, if they lose again he decides on a fresh start somewhere else? I'm probably way off but I think it's a possibility.

If they lose - which I think they will - I think he signs a 1-year max deal, and him/Westbrook decide where they're going together after next year. I think the lakers would be the front runners for both

Win or lose tomorrow, he's signing a one year deal with OKC and then moving in 2017. It makes too much financial sense not to do so, not to mention, if you move and take the money a year early, you might get left out of superstar packages (see: Melo).

Incredible series. How anyone can watch that and say the NBA's talent is watered down now a days needs to watch that, absolutely special basketball.

Steph has made 830 3 pointers in the last two years, Larry Bird had 729 in his career. (both including playoffs)

Well done Warriors, now please go beat the Cavs.

I hope the narrative tomorrow isn't how OKC choked because that's not what happened. It was just 2 great teams playing an awesome series, someone had to lose.

These last 5 or so years of NBA basketball has made it hard to watch the collegiate ranks, to be honest. They're practically different sports.

Curry and Thompson have been atrocious, but the supporting cast has been terrific. I think Kerr's "we played like it was a November game" in the third quarter comment was subtly directed at the Splash Bros, especially SC.

Lebron is the only guy maybe ever that you can think had an off night and then you check the box score and he had 23 9 and 12. Ridiculous.

I picked the Cavs in 7, so at least you're not alone :).

I actually think CLE will win game 2 and this series will go seven games. GSW hasn't handled success well in this postseason, frequently squandering big leads, and CLE will play much better at home, whereas GSW hasn't been great on the road in the playoffs.
