The powers that be would love two game 7s and I think there's a good chance it happens.

I don't see how the Warriors beat the Thunder on Saturday in OKC.
What has come out in this series (and from others like Lebron James in their comments) is how overrated many of the other star players think Steph Curry is. Westbrook is almost mocking Curry in the post-game press conferences and Durant, while a little more diplomatic, has been kind of dismissive as well. I think the other players are sick of the perceived favoritism that they think Curry benefits from.
All in all, I just haven't been enjoying these two conference finals. Too many blowouts, not very compelling. How can these teams be so up and down from game to game? It sucks...
The first OKC and GS game was very entertaining. But that's about it. Home court advantage has been huge in both the East and West.
Something tells me that GS will find a way to steal game 6 to set up game 7 for all the marbles. I think Toronto will take it to a game 7 as well.
Just some perspective on the Raptors, to put the Bucks current roster in context:
They drafted Derozen in 2009. They didn't get Lowry until 2012. They built the roster slowly. They were a bad team 2012-13, just 38 wins. The next season, Lowry and Derozen emerged and the won the East division with 48 wins. 2014-15 49 wins. This year 56 wins and a place in the EC Finals.
Now Lowry is 30, Derozen 26, and they have been playing together for 4 seasons.
In the NBA, winning takes time. The Bucks primary players are all under 25, two of the 21. 3-4 years... Then they'll be ready.
More officiating nonsense... this whole second Q has been sh*t call after sh*t call...
Another yawner... Lowry tried to pull off a miracle all on his own, but in the end the role players were not up to speed.
Cleveland advances...
If you expected anyone except LeBron from the east, you are a complete imbecile. Welcome to the NBA
The East is just not very good IMO and Cleveland would have been bounced by now had they played in the West.
If OKC wins & faces the Cavs, I'm betting Cavs in 5 or 6.
LeBron OWNS Durant
I wanted a compelling game... It's been that. OKC rallies every time GS gets close.
This 4th Q should be fantastic...
Klay Thompson is on friggin fire right now... Wow!
OKC offensive rebounds absolutely killing GS... every miss by OKC is a battle for the rebound...
First 6 minutes of 4th quarter
Warriors called for 5 fouls
OKC for 0.
What at a joke.

And then a makeup on the missed FT
Wow. Okc with a massive choke. GS played well, but Durant was just awful in the 4th.
OKC may be bigger and faster, but you can't measure the heart of a champion.
Thompson kept them in it, then the MVP took over. 32 points in the 4th between them.
Great game... OKC really melted down the stretch.
Clay made a 3 without ever looking at the rim tonight. 17 3's between two guys. Have any two guys other than Curry and Clay ever made 12 in a playoff game in NBA history? No one has ever shot the ball like those two.
Game 7.....
Going to be amazing!
