Golden State is simply not built to grind out games...

Never said he was #2. I just said he's a top coach. I don't know who 2-5 are because our coach sucks so bad we're looking to far up. We would settle for a top half of the league coach.

College coaches almost never work out. Only ones I can think of are Larry Brown (best overall coach ever) and Stevens (and he still needs to win a ring or two to really seal it).

Curry- Kevin. See quoted post. Pass the ball.

Curry: why you tryna be Russ?

OK dude but you're ruining my 'Thunder fans are spurned girlfriends' schtick!

They ran iso because the OKC coaches were to stupid to come up with anything or cup and Westbrook were to stubborn to run plays. It's starting to look the it's the latter.

Come on man, KD been flowing just fine with the Warriors. The Rockets deserve a ton of credit, they have figured out a way to disrupt them (missing Iggy hurts too). But it's not KD being too 'stubborn'. The Rox have been shutting down passing lanes and forcing KD to go ISO, which is still an ok play as he has no matchup but they need to find a balance.

All I know is they have lost 2 straight where I saw a superstar shrink in the moment and do anything but take charge. Everyone call that whatever you want.

You're saying exactly what I'm saying. Everything was great until it got tough. Then the pressure came into play. And cup shrinks.
It's been easy so far because GS could have won without cup. But now Houston has given them problems. Looks like it will end since Paul is hurt. So crisis averted for now.

Umm Westbrook will never be accused of shrinking in the moment, ever.

I'm not sure they win last year without KD vs a healthy Cavs. And I know it's hard for an OKC fan to appreciate, but watching the current Warriors is a real treat for fans of high level basketball. Didn't have to be a Bulls fan to appreciate the 90s Bulls for example.

Shrinking? I guess not. Failing? Uh, yep.

If you are going to lose either way I’d rather not be called a pussy.

I didn't say they weren't a great team and the style they run is a thing of beauty for basketball fans. But they were the favorite without cup. You know that. Hell it was Vegas odds. If you want to bring the Bulls into the conversation fine. Jordan didn't leave to play for the Pistons.

Better yet win Finals MVP!

Cavs win the Finals last year if KD not there IMO

Playoff basketball.

It's a little ironic, OKC fans are butthurt that KD left without really giving any indication he would. Seattle fans lost a whole team that way.

It almost seems like Curry and Durant no longer have confidence in their teammates; not so much losing confidence in themselves.
