What a game, I don't have any nails left haha. Klay went absolutely nuts and carried them and Steph came through as an MVP should in the last couple minutes to ice it. Even with Draymond and Bogut playing like garbage they force a game 7. KD really couldn't get it going and Westbrook can't do it all. OKC's big men were a force in this game and really kept them on top for a while.

RIP OKC, would be shocked if they win a game of that magnitude in a place of that magnitude. Tonight was supposed to be their coronation to the Finals and they blew it.

OKC choked. Thompson couldn't miss. They review the ball off Westbrook's foot less than a minute left, but don't call the foul that cause him to kick it out on Draymond that would have been his 6th when it was a 3 point game? Total bullshit.

Warriors will never be as good as the Bulls, already lost more than they did the entire season, because regular season isn't what counts. As the Pats.

They did not choke, they were forced into foul trouble and then they got tired, lack of bench the physical game took it's toll. The evil prevailed

Durant and Westbrook took too many shots. It hurt their team. They didn't spread out enough. They tried to do it all themselves and it cost them.

It was another poorly reffed game and a lot of calls went OKC's way that shouldn't have. Like a couple blocks by GS that were mostly all ball but got whistled for (Speights on KD anyone?), or Draymond getting called for the foul while jostling for position off a free throw (that the announcers even said was a bad call). Or strips by AI or Draymond that were clean but were called for ticky tacky reach in's. OKC definitely got more calls tonight and GS still won. The refs were giving some home cooking tonight to try and send OKC to the Finals but the Splash Brothers said not today folks.

You're always going to get more calls at home, it's not like OKC is the only one to benefit, Golden State has as well, it's just how it is.

Draymond must be learning to keep shit under control, I like how he ran over to his bench to bitch after some really bad calls against him instead of bitching at the refs like he normally does. He's usually good for at least 2 free points to the other team and that amazingly didn't happen tonight.

I thought he was supposed to be suspended because he had too many points. What happened?

The OKC coach needed to call a TO and settle his team down. The last two minutes were a joke.

'Course they choked. They went right back to Hero Ball. Their coach is a moran! 2 minutes left and you let Durant do his normal stupid HERO BALL when GS plays as it should as a team, so they are zoning on Durant as he tries to go 1 on 5? C'mon, if they isn't a monumental failure I don't know what is. They had the lead and squandered it away instead protecting it and then on the flip side, did no OKC get the memo that Klay was on fire. Hello OKC?

Like I've always called OKC, Underachievers. They lived up to that moniker yet again. And then inside of 20 seconds, OKC could not even inbound the freaking ball? Hello? What the five is that? What kind of moran coach doesn't adjust for GS doubling Durant on the inbound and then adjust and go elsewhere? This moran coach only knows his security blanket and nothing else.

I swear, screw Curry for greatest shooter, cuz he's clearly not. It's yet another game where Klay lights it up carrying his team. Klay just went insane, bat shit crazy from the three.

Even when Curry had an off night he missed a triple double by an assist. Yeah Klay carried the team but Curry had a helluva game as well. Maybe you missed the crazy clutch kiss off the glass at a physics-defying angle over Ibaka's longass arms to put them up 5 and then the dagger back2back steals on the inbounds? Yeah, that's what MVPs do. Don't act like it was all Klay, either you didn't watch the game (AI's defense on Durant anyone?) or you're just trolling as usual. Both Splash Brothers came to play tonight while KD and Westbrook couldn't seal the deal (nothing new there). Although you can't really blame Westbrook, he did enough (missed a triple double by a rebound) but KD going 10-31 is awful.

GS will be only the 3rd team to ever come back from a 3-1 deficit if they win Monday, that is what dynasties do. They get better when the going gets tough. If they win Monday and go on to beat Lebron's *healthy* team then they are easily the G.O.A.T.

No, he's still 2 technicals away from an auto-1 gamer. Which is probably why he ran away from the refs after their shit-tastic calls.

No they are not easily the greatest of all time. They have a long way to go to say they are better than the Bulls

There is no way we don't get a repeat Warriors vs Cavs rematch right? Right?

Before the series there was a 100% chance of GS-Cav finals. 12 hours ago there was a 100% chance that GS was finished.

After game 2 there was a 100% chance the Raptors would be swept.

Now there's a 100% chance that GS wins game 7 at home, when they have already lost at home this series.

This game was decided by both teams having unsustainable 3-pt% (13% vs 47%).

Methinks the internet and especially sports fans do not do statistics well.

Once game 7 is over, there is a 100% chance that the winner will face Cleveland in the final.

I turned on the AM radio broadcast when there was 4+ minutes left. GSW was down 4 points. I heard that call. Thing is, the foul was obvious on replay but they can't call a foul based on what they see in a replay, that's just NBA rules. They could only reverse the call on possession.

I have to figure OKC has a chance, they won in Oakland already this series. Maybe I'll watch the Monday game in a bar, I figure to. If GSW wins, the finals are going to be epic. If OKC wins, maybe still epic.
Draymond must be learning to keep shit under control, I like how he ran over to his bench to bitch after some really bad calls against him instead of bitching at the refs like he normally does. He's usually good for at least 2 free points to the other team and that amazingly didn't happen tonight.
2 more technicals and he's sitting out the next game. That's exactly why he ran the other way.

Klay hit 11 three-pointers last night. In the Feb. 27 game at OKC Curry hit 12 of them including that 37 footer that won it at the buzzer. I think Curry is the greatest shooter of all time. He may be off right now, he's had those two injuries, lost continuity having to sit out a lot of games and rehab. But Klay is fantastic, no doubt. As seen last night he can light it up at any time. Shut down Curry (almost impossible usually), and Klay can take over a game, he's that great. KD and Westbrook are super players, but the OKC team/bench dynamic isn't as great a factor as GSW's, it wasn't last night. If OKC can't find their team mojo Monday, it's over.
Once game 7 is over, there is a 100% chance that the winner will face Cleveland in the final.
Yup, that's why they play the game. We can tap the keys forever, but it's decided on the court.

early sports books have gsw at -7 for Game 7.

lets see if gsw can continue on their journey to fulfill their destiny and get the trophy.
or will they choke like so many record breaking regular season teams did b4 them and not even goto the finals.

ie: Seattle Mariners and not even making it to the World Series

and even if they make it to the last round, will they walk away victorious or fall, again, like so many record breaking teams b4 them.
ie: New England Patriots and losing the Superbowl
