*** Official 2015-16 NBA Playoff Thread ***

Is it really choking when Thompson is hitting virtually every 3 that goes up? Yeah, I get it, the last minute hasn't been pretty, but the Warriors were already leading.

I was mostly referring to Durant. OKC was leading even when Thompson was going off
 
Gonna be interesting what they call on this out of bounds decision. Clearly a foul, but clearly off OKC.

This is why I don't like the out of bounds replay. The ref called the play as if Green hit the ball out of bounds. Obviously that's not a foul. But on replay it showed Green hitting the arm and GS gets the ball. I don't like the idea of calling a foul on replay, but they need to have a way to give the ball to OKC since it was Green that caused the ball to go out of bounds.
 
OKC choked pretty bad. Not UNI bad just a more generic Iowa choke job, where you see it coming slowly from a safe distance.
 
Durant was bad, and Westbrook had a murderous turnover. This game decided the series, game 7 is just a formality.
 
Sick of all the Golden State posturing.

I forget that CF has NBA fans so I was late to post this here. But as Rick Flair says, to BE the man you got to BEAT the man!81499113.gif
Nothing beats a game 7. I was so tense the 4th qtr even tho I had no dog in the fight. Klay was unreal!
 
Did I hear correctly that Westbrook has 14 playoff double doubles and the closest guard has 2?

Guy has been incredible. Crazy people were once doubting if he could be a winner.



Considering Oscar Robertson had 8 30/10/10 playoff games in his career they better have meant active players.
 
Game 7 won't be close

I'm not burying the Thunder yet. Klay Thompson needed the game of his life plus a bad shooting night for both of OKC's stars for the Warriors to get the W. I'm not sold that the Thunder can actually win Game 7 but I am sure that it'll be a close game.
 
I don't know how there's any debate that GSW is the greatest shooting team of all time. You don't even need to look at the stats. That was just absolutely ridiculous. 63 3 pointer points vs 9 for OKC. They basically got absolutely destroyed in the paint, blocked 10 times and outscored by 24 but nullified it.

With about 4 minutes left you could see the sick 3s really start to demoralize OKC and make them desperate even when it was tied or they had a lead.

He's come a long ways, most of it was about him changing, not what people thought about him. That said, what has he won? How has his team played in his double double games? he has always put up big numbers, sometimes they came at the expense of his team.

By that standard Bill Wennington, Shane Battier and Mike Miller are huge winners and John Stockton and Karl Malone are losers.

It's hard for me to criticize a tripple double machine for being selfish. I will say that I thought both Westbrook and Durant were both visibly rattled when the sick 3s started raining down with about 4-6 minutes left. They got out of the game that had them dominating the previous games and the first 3 quarters of this one.
 
I agree that OKC looked rattled at the end, though I wonder how much of that is fatigue. Durant and Westbrook were going all out most of the game.

Game of his life? Guess you missed his 3q game last year. Okay has carried GS all playoffs.
 
If Golden State wins I quit the NBA. OKC totally blew it the past two games, and no way the NBA lets their golden boys (pun intended) lose this game 7.
 
I'm pretty nervous. Let's just say I'm expecting to lose. Unfortunately I didn't get to see game 6 but sounds like it was pretty similar to game 5. Our offense got away from the spread look which only takes away from our advantage on the boards.
