When you were up by double digits and Kevin Durant misses 7 shots in a row and you lose the game, they stole it from you. Sorry, but OKC played like absolute shit, even with Westbrook finally coming alive.
Kerr better hope this doesn't rock GSW, or they are done.
That long layoff by GS surely did not help. They were just not clicking, and that is why I hate it when analysts comment about how all that extra rest will help a team out this time of year. In this particular case, it did nothing at all to help other than make them out of sync offensively.
Good to see we finally agree on parity. At least in half the league + the Cavs (and you're forgetting Toronto Miami Atlanta). Wait, that is almost 2/3 of the league. lolah, so the long history of real competition in the west <snip>
No, and it's really not hard to do the research on this since it's the same thread.Weren't you the one saying there was less parity in today's NBA vs the 90's (despite all respectable statistical websites saying otherwise)? Now it's indisputable, parity found, the Warriors lost.
If it wasn't you, then whoever said there isn't parity can suck on it.
My bad then. Must have confused you for zin who is now changing his story to well only the West + the Cavs = parity now. lolNo, and it's really not hard to do the research on this since it's the same thread.

You don't have an argument if you can do math. But keep on crying about no parity in the league and continue to ignore the numbers.no, you're just too dumb to understand the argument.
holy shit you are historically stupid.
Nonsense, no team has had more lay-off time in the playoffs this year than the Cavs. And they are playing unstoppable ball.

The true test of a good team is seeing how they adjust throughout a playoff series. Kerr is a good coach, it will be interesting to see how both teams will adapt as the series goes on.
It seems to me that it's a lot harder for GS to score when there's a defense that's athletic enough to stay in front of them. It played out exactly like Barkley said it would. Kanter and Adams gave them all they could handle inside by out rebounding GS. Hell Adams' physical defense (essential to GS missing late shots) and free throws probably gave OKC that buffer in the last two minutes, then Durant getting his touch back sealed the deal. GS is gonna be in trouble with their small ball lineup.
Steve Kerr will make adjustments, will throw in new things in the mix. It will be a BIG challenge for OKC to get even close to doing what they did last time. Only time will tell if OKC had the character, the heart to stay in the game and not choke
Damn straight. Earlier in the playoffs, Barkley (iirc) called OKC's pick and roll defense the worst he's ever seen. They obviously worked on that. So far, Donovan (rookie coach from D1) has been doing an outstanding job. Taking out Pops and the Spurs is a heck of a coaching accomplishment. And as result, I'm not betting GS will be able to make a quick fix and then grab the next four.The true test of a good team is seeing how they adjust throughout a playoff series. Kerr is a good coach, it will be interesting to see how both teams will adapt as the series goes on.
If OKC wins tonight, the ice caps will melt.
So GS thrashes the Thunder in Game 2. I guess that means there is no longer any parity?
If one game = parity, then one game can remove parity, right?
There's still zero parity in the east regardless!
