If only the FG and 3PT were both 0-0. Mark Titus would be really impressed.

Who needs a mere trillionaire when you can have a 22-trillionaire?

Warriors/Thunder game of the year.

I just don't see how the Warriors won't repeat this year. Maybe Cleveland proves me wrong, but I just think they'll destroy everyone. Either the team will have to implode, which it sounded like Green was kind of doing tonight and it didn't matter. Or Curry will have to majorly cool off.

Also, I'm completely unimpressed with OKC. They choked big time tonight.

Warriors didn't win the game on that Curry 3, they won it when Durant fouled out. Westbrook couldn't do it by himself, even though he wanted to.

Right. I'm not trying to downplay anything Curry is doing. You literally have to pick him up at halfcourt.
But the Thunder really let that one go. Durant had two bonehead plays at the end of the 4th. Next season could be very miserable for Westbrook if/when Durant leaves.

The only team that can beat GSW in a series is SA. And that win was huge for GSW, because if they get home court advantage, it's game over. I mean, they haven't lost at home in over a year. To think you will beat them in a series where they get 4 home games is scary. Had they lost that one, and the Spurs beat them 2 of 3, the home court advantage race would've been interesting. Now, it's just not feasible to think the Warriors don't get home court.

vs ATL
vs OKC
at LAL
vs ORL
vs UTA
vs POR
vs PHO
vs NO
vs NYK

These are their next 9 games. Do you honestly see a way they lose any? They will sleep walk to 62-5.

Oh, and the last shot from last night, you just simply can't explain, duplicate, guard or expect that. Once in a lifetime skills.

I don't know about sleep walk considering they pulled a win in OT out of their ass against OKC, but the schedule is def favorable.

True, but they blasted OKC at home last time. I'd bet if they lose one, it will be a random game against an average team (like the Portland loss). However, I just don't see them losing any home games.

Their 5 losses have come to teams like Detroit. Don't think they have lost to a top 5 team in either conference, thus can't really use their schedule and say DEF LOCKS.

Probably not a huge surprise if they had an off night and lost one of those. Two or more seems unlikely.

I fucking hate these guys. Riley is just a fucking scumbag weasel. I remember when the Cleveland haters on this forum gave us shit for calling them the Miami cHeat. That organization has a quite the reputation, and I think cHeat is very fitting.

Speaking of, Heat scored 129 points on 68% shooting tonight. Idk what the latest with Bosh is but if they can revitalize Joe Johnson's career and continue getting awesome production from Whiteside, they'll be a scary draw in the playoffs.

SAS said that bosh is unhappy with his role and wants out of Miami.
