The impending Western conference championship series between the Spurs and the Warriors might be the best non-title series in NBA history. It's amazing to think that the Warriors may go 73-9 and probably be just a slight favorite to even make the NBA Finals.

It may depend on which team has to work the hardest to get to that series. If the Warriors end up playing a relatively well rested Spurs team, I'd probably bet on the Spurs. If Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan have to play big minutes in the first two series, I'd bet on the Warriors.

OKC with a huge win on the road last night.  They refused to quit and seem to be making the most of what could be the last playoff run of Durant and Westbrook together as KD is a free agent and Westbook will be after next season. 

I like GS and their style of play but admit I am pulling for OKC.  It would be a shame if that team didn't at least make the NBA Finals once.  

 

 

 

I think the GSW thought they were going to coast to a win in game 1 after getting up on them easily in the first half. Then they went cold shooting, very cold for them & OKC stole 1.

It's a good wake up call. I have a feeling you're going to see the real GSW tonight even the series. 

It's a great test & OKC is very good. Should be a great game.

GS is losing the same way they win. And the quick shots aren't falling. It feeds the OKC break, which means avalanche and you look up and they are down 18. It is exactly what they have been doing to everyone else all season. 

GS had their shot- OKC was 1-11 at one point in the 3rd, and the closest GS got was 8 points. Then OKC got a few baskets and GS was never closer. 

I rewatched highlights of that 4th quarter. Some of those shots Thompson hit he didn't even pick up the rim in his view until he was well into the shot. It was even more unbelievable the second time watching it. 

How good was Thompson? Curry went for 31 points (6-14 from 3 and 22 points in the second half), 10 rebounds, and 9 assists which included a game tying 3 and a high arcing running bank shot to put them up 5 and seal the game. In other words, Curry had one of the best win or go home games in playoff history - a triple double with 6 threes and game tying and game clinching shots and people aren't talking it that much because Thompson's game was that much better. 

Durant/Westbrook will either go for about 80 points on Monday or they'll shoot themselves out of the game quickly. 

People in the league are so quick to say that Steph Curry benefits from the changes in the rules. The no hand-check, free movement, and not getting body slammed in the lane when he attacks the paint? 

Well, does LeBron not also play by these same rules? Does he not benefit from these same changes? Funny you don't hear people diminishing his accomplishments...
