Okc, the greatest team of all time
R.I.P Golden state. Its weird seeing them so disjointed and lacking confidence. Perhaps they peaked too early.

Nah bro, its fixed. Warriors come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the series.

I'll bet you can get a decent price for that if you are willing to bet on it at this point.
Westbrook is making Curry look silly. I'd take Westbrook over him any day, but Curry is still legit. 

OKC might have delivered the knockout punch last night.


This is a very different Thunder team than in recent years. They're working together as a team and not just standing around relying on Durant and Westbrook. Big credit to Billy Donovan too.
Future Lakers next season: Kevin Durant, Derozan, Hassan Whiteside, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Harrison Barnes. Carmelo Anthony via trade of 2nd overall pick to the Knicks. Chris Paul via trade with Clippers for Deangelo Russell. Chhhhammmppiioonnshiiippp


Depth Chart

PG: Chris Paul, Clarkson
SG: Derozan, Wade
SF: Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Harrison Barns
PF: Lebron James, Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr
C: Hassan Whiteside
No doubt the NBA games are fixed. Toronto plays good at home, terrible on the road and same with the Cavaliers. The rim height, court dimensions, 3 point line and free throw line are all the same at every arena.

Historically, role players play better at home.

Well yeah historically most teams play better at home.

While this is an interesting and highly fictitious scenario, let me make a few adjustments for a more perfect scenario

 

1) If you're giving up D Russell, go get Westbrook instead of CP3.  Westbrook tells the Thunder he's leaving after 2017 so the Thunder make the trade (like they did with Harden)

2) Don't give up the #2 pick to the Knicks.  Offer a high 2nd round pick and next years #1 which will be a late 1st round pick.  This allows the Lakers to draft B. Ingram (Duke) to back up D Wade. 

3) H Whiteside is intriguing.  Throw in Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah as good teammates to keep him on the right track.

Small ball only works if they are making their outside shots, especially their 3's.

 

If not, they are going to be out rebounded on a regular basis and in a battle to win the game, because they are just out-sized and if the opposing bigger team wants to go inside, all they can do is either foul or hope they miss.

 

If the other team settles for outside shots and misses them, they still have a chance to win.

 

That is what you are seeing in the OKC/GS playoff series right now.
Think GSW pulls one out at home tonight to put the pressure back on OKC to close out at home. Hope I'm wrong.
Prepare for a barrage of 3's by curry & thompson going through the hoop. Warriors blow out the thunder 3 straight games.

I  figure GS will get some favorable calls tonight and OKC probably won't get those same calls.
Refs trying to win one for GSW. OKC hanging tough so far. They can only make it so obvious before it's officially fixed.
Speits took currys 3pt power
Curry on fire, back to okc
OKC in good position.
