There's going to be a lot of head scratching and finger-pointing over at OKC for a while.

Okc played the Warriors tough. They played their hearts out. I'm sure they are disappointed but they shouldn't be ashamed. They got beat by a very good team with a lot of talent. That's how it goes. I'm a Warrior fan but its too bad somebody had to lose this series.

The finals will be fun to watch!

During and after the game 6 loss, a bunch of us were debating at my brother's house about whether or not Durant would stay at OKC or seek out greener pastures...

i think he will leave. I can't picture him anywhere else tho, and OK loves that guy. will be sad. OKC needed more talent. They needed to play flawless to beat GS. GS just had more talent at their respective positions.



lebron vs curry... here we gooo

If so, where will he go?

Some of us thought maybe San Antonio, but I'm not sure Durant can adapt to Popovich's team style.

[DieGrüneHölle]

Isn't Westbrook's contract up next year. He has to be going to LA. He was born in Long Beach and played at UCLA.

Maybe Durant will go there too a year early or sign a one year deal with OKC to keep his options open.

Lakers have the most cap space going into next season. They could give both of them big contracts and still have money to get all the right pieces around them.

Amazing players both. GS really got a taste of their talent in this series. It would be great to see them in the finals in the coming years.

Where's the Warriors haters? What do they have to say now? It was the refs? Curry sucks? Waiting for the answer.

The term fan is short for fanatic. Some fans feel a need to put down other teams, players from other teams, and fans of other teams. They will say anything in their process of putting down the opponent. They are not inhibited by logic or facts. They just do what they do. Some of those put down artists are BMW drivers and we are lucky to have them. It makes these threads a bit more entertaining. When we challenge their ridiculous statements with absolute facts, they either go quiet on us or respond with some completely random comment. Almost never will one of these types of fans come back and say they were wrong or that team they bashing with all their might was actually pretty good.

They don't understand how foolish they sound as they get wrapped up in the emotion of it all. They never will. That's okay. They'll come back and repeat the cycle next time and provide us with more entertainment.

Go Warriors or whoever your team happens to be

I loved watching Steven Adams get owed by Klay and Curry hahaha. Poor guy had ALL 7 shots taken on him made. 6 of those were treys.

I'll bite.

Warriors hater here...I'll continue to hate, simply b/c we all know, the Cavs will win the championship.

Cavs won 2 games last year without Love and Irving, 4 this year at full strength and everyone playing at the top of their career.

Key would be who guards Klay Thompson. Shumpert is a decent defender, I do not trust or want JR Smith anywhere near Curry or Thompson.

IMO, the x-factor will be Frye. Cavs' offense will be a completely different team this year. If you don't know much about Mr. Frye, you'll be well acquainted by mid-way through Game 1. It'll be a good series, Cleveland in 7.

There are always going to be haters; it just means your relevant. Lebron is a classic example of tons of hate, whether deserved or undeserved.

Now to watch GS finish off this historic season and whoop that bum Lebron in the finals...

oh, you mean when he had to switch on defense? If you played or understand any basketball, you'll know that Adams doesn't solely defend guards and mostly is on Curry or Thompson on a switch.

Did or did not Adams get owned in game 6 and 7 by Klay and Steph on the switch?

I think you missed the point here. Doesnt matter if it was coming off the switch or not, he was still getting beat by them.

It was odd considering how he had done well vs them earlier in the series. Looked like they figured out how to counteract his athleticism and length.

again, I don't see that as "owned". It's a mismatch, when a 7 footer has to come out on a switch to guard someone who can shoot 3-feet beyond the 3-point line.

I played bball, we don't "ooo and ahhh" when a 6 ft guard hits a 3 on a switch... Being a casual fan like you, I get it, it's fun to watch the long ball get shot over a tall defender.

Same thing with a 7-footer dunks over a guard. It's fun to watch, but a mismatch nonetheless. Sort of like..."what'd you expect to happen?".

Getting "owned" is when Adams posterized Green with a facial. That is owned.

True, I am a casual fan, and like you Im guessing, I played BBall but not professionally.

Maybe by me being a casual fan Im not jaded by hate and have blinders on. Or I am just a logical thinker

again, being a casual fan, you are bias, case in point, calling a Curry 3 pointer over Adams "owned". When most people won't see it that way.

[tokic_o]

Can't wait to see the Warriors beat that flopping fish in Lebron a second straight year! DO IT FOR THE RAPTORS!

ok not owned but manhandled the last 2 games, how about that? The proof is in the entire series. Adams had Stephs number up until Game 5. After that, Steph and Klay figured out his D and went off vs him. Maybe you only casually watched the games or just look at box scores after its over?
