OKC is playing fantastic. They are dominating this series. Finaly after all these years they have found a balance between KD and RW isolations and good team play. They are looking like GS during the season. Golden State on the other hand is playing very bad with a lot of turnovers and Curry and Green are nowhere to be seen in this series.

i think gs burn out chasing that bulls record.others teams rested some key players last 5-10 matches from play off,they didnt.other reason is,that they simply dont know hot to play against them

I think it has to do with this second thing mostly. Yes, they chased the record but still, this is NBA, they are prepared. Also Curry got injured, he is not the same even though Kerr says he is healthy. I think that OKC is just too athletic for them, Curry can't guard Westbrook, they don't have many easy shots vs OKC defense because they are long, both in the backcourt but also with Adams inside. So when they fall behind in a game they start playing too fast and commit a lot of turnovers which causes many easy baskets for OKC in transition, RW is unstoppable

i think if oklahoma wins it all he stays for sure in oklahoma. anyway this free agency this summer is going to be amazing because salary cap is rising, it will be around 90 million and it was around 70 million this season. so much more money for teams to spend.

Ajinca Im so glad that we beat France after all.

Ajinca apologized on twitter after everything. He realized what he did or someone said to him that they have a game on saturday in Belgrade De Colo was the source of that problem and he also had unsportmanlike foul on Bogdan in third quarter.
