#LetWestBrookBeWestbrook

Attention Golden State Warriors

Bytor Peltor · 05.17.2016, 09:48 AM

Game One

Westbrook and Durant combined to go 17-of-51 from the floor......yet OKC won because of ONE reason......OKC only had 2 turnovers in 2nd Half (12 for the game).

Durant played 46 minutes, the most he has played in the playoffs so far is 44. Most in the regular season (non-OT): 43.

Russell Westbrook finished with more assists than Steph, Klay, and Draymond. Combined.

Continuing from the Spurs series, OKC held GSW to 102 points on about 105 possessions......VERY impressive for OKC to go down double-digits on the road vs. two of the best teams in history and respond......long as Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook never leave the floor again for the rest of the playoffs, OKC just might have a chance!

Warriors' 42 second-half points and 14 fourth-quarter points are both GSW 2016 playoff lows.

Oklahoma City overcame a 14-point deficit, the largest comeback against the Warriors this postseason

Curry was 1 for 6 in the fourth quarter, Klay was 0 for 4......GSW won't win many games like that, of course, the odds of it happening again are slim!

"Who is: Steve Kerr?"

Doubt this happens again:

Sooooo much respect for Billy Donovan, who’s doing this all on the fly!

Steven Adams chooses the wrong words to describe the Warriors' guards. "They're quick little monkeys," he says.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.17.2016, 10:31 AM

Adams is from New Zealand he didn't mean anything racist by it.

Of course he didn't!

NO harm, NO foul = NO added motivation or GSW!

Is that Hulk Hogan?

I had no idea......let me explain.

I thought it was the old Japanese Legendary Master / kung-fu teacher, Pai Mei who had once taken a vow of silence.

No that was hulk Hogan insinuating Adams was racist similar to Hogan's own racistcomments

^^^hadn't heard that story!

Warriors are now 12-0 this season in games following a loss.

65-win teams are 9-0 in Game Two after losing Game One in a best-of-7 series.

Last night the Warriors outscored OKC 61-42 in 2nd half (Thunder outscored Warriors 61-42 in 2nd half of Game 1).

Portland had success with the smalls against the Warriors and OKC might consider going small and defensive anytime Steph threatens.

The MVP scored 15 points in 1:58......had right elbow wrapped when he answered post game questions:

Russ looking a bit......

Twenty years ago, the Major Network (NBC) would have made them play Games 3 & 4 on back-to-back days at OKC this Saturday and Sunday. Having three days off is a bit ridiculous.

LeBron James teams have a 20-2 series record when winning Game 1 (last loss: 2011 NBA Finals)

Cavs are the 1st team since '00-02 Lakers to win 16 straight playoff games within their own conference.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.19.2016, 02:46 PM

Im increasingly thinking Cavs can win it all which i would have said was impossible even jist two months ago

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.19.2016, 02:49 PM

And no i agree with Barkley OKC should NOT go small. Warriors are best small ball team in NBA, if they win it all they overtake Heat as best small ball team all time!! OKC can't match that and all Portland got was one win. OKC won Game 1 same way Grizzlies won 2 games and Cavs won Games 2 and 3 of last Finals, staying big and bludgeoning Dubs on the boards.

Indeed if Cavs are gonna beat Dubs its gonna be on backs of Love, Frye, and possibly resurgence of Mozgov off the bench.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.20.2016, 09:00 AM

Its funny everyone wanna go with the old trope "Oh Raptors suck the East sucks" and NEVER ONCE CONSIDERED MAYBE THE EAST DOESN'T SUCK AS MUCH AS THAT MAYBE LEBRON HAS JUST BEEN THAT GOOD??

Also who in the world things the Mavs, Grizzlies, Blazers, or Rockets were world beaters???

Bytor Peltor · 05.22.2016, 08:32 AM

Teams that lost Games 1 & 2 in Confrence Finals by 15+ Points are now 6-1 in Game 3's......However, each of previous six lost series.

Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan outscored the Cavaliers "Big 3" 52-40 in Game 3.

Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were 4-28 in Game 3, their worst combined FG pct as teammates (14.3%).

Kyrie Irving was holding his sternum area in a slow walk to locker room

Last night was the first time this postseason the Cavaliers have failed to score 100 Points.

Raptors' Bismack Biyombo ties Rockets' Dwight Howard (2015) & Hakeem Olajuwon (1988) for most rebounds (26) in a playoff game since 1984.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.22.2016, 03:21 PM

Props to Raptors for silencing the media haters and they should be proud of a fantastic season however i think folks shouldn't sleep on Cavs title chance because Kyrie and Love had bad games when Toronto played a classic "kitchen sink game"..

Lue got too cocky should have called a few more timeouts and gathered the team.. should have attacked Biyambo more in the paint he ain't THAT good.

Cavs in 5 for this series and the Finals are still a coin flip unless someone gets actually hurt (Xavs continuing to say Kyrie is fine and considering there are legal implications in regars to NBA injury reports i trust that until further notice)

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.22.2016, 03:23 PM

Also Lebron did just fine against Biyambo, it was Irving and Love who continually got stuffed

Bytor Peltor · 05.22.2016, 09:42 PM

Steven Adams blocked Stephen Curry's 1st 3-point attempt of Game 3. First time Curry has had a 3-pointer blocked in the playoffs.

OKC went up 25...following the flagrant they outscored Golden State 22-5 going to halftime.

It was the Warriors' largest halftime deficit, regular season or playoffs, since April 21, 2014 (26 points vs Clippers).

Total fouls called by end of the 3rd Q - OKC 19, GSW 17.

OKC's points in regulation vs. GSW this season: 108, 108, 106, 103, 91.
Tonight thru 3Q......117.

The Warriors have lost a lot of Game 3's......at Memphis and Cleveland last year and in Houston, Portland and OKC this year.

These two are just two wins away from having the opportunity of pulling off the greatest playoff run of all time!

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.23.2016, 12:59 AM

Draymond is a bitch straight up. On the street Adams would fuck that loud mouthed dude up.. but props to OKC for proving it ON the COURT.

If Dubs aren't worried they should be, OKC is the first healthy contender they have faced in playoffs since 2014 Spurs spanked them. Point blank right now the Championship is a three way coin flip between OkC Dubs and Cavs. And a month ago i would have laughed at the impossibility of that.. now?

Bytor Peltor · 05.24.2016, 07:46 AM

For the 2nd straight Game, the Cav's fail to score 100 points.

It was during the final 5:28 of the game where LeBron didn’t score any of his 29 points.

Kyle Low-redemption

Most 35-Point Playoff Games
Raptors History
Kyle Lowry 4
Vince Carter 3
Chris Bosh 1

Notice Coach Drake and the time, Cavs score 3 points in final 3:34 of game.

About Coach Drake......he was dropping sideline dimes on K Love!

Who is Kevin Love?

BISMACK PADDY WACK BI-BI-YOMBO
THE TEAM FROM THE 6 AINT GOING HOME

MVP chants for Bismack Biyombo = greatest time to be living! (Jordan was right w/pick, just didn't know how to bring him along).

Sooo who you got in a street fight between Xavier McDaniel and Hulk Adams? Xavier was a bad-azz dude back in the day, even led the NCAA in scoring / rebounds one year, but was NEVER a 20/10 guy in the NBA and surprisingly was only an All-Star once.
