How aren't the Thunder favorites to beat Warriors?
>>
because the warriors are winners
>>
>>67573922
Durant and Westbrook are better than any two combined players on the Warriors
>>
>>67573890
Because everyone already knows the NBA is rigged
>>
Uhh the thunder ARE favored to beat the Warriors

The Thunder just raped superior competition in the Spurs while the Warriors struggled against the Rockets and Blazers
>>
>>67573951
>Durant and Westbrook
volume chuckers

curry and thompson can actually shoot
>>
>>67574088
Curry plays no D
Thompson is too inconsistent

Durant and Westbrook are MVP candidates on the same team
Curry is the only one close to being an MVP
>>
All 3 games the Thunder played the Warriors were fluky

A few ref calls go here or there and OKC wins all 3 games.

Game 1: OKC about to win but bad call leads to 12-3 run at the end of the game
Game 2: Iguodala should have never gotten that ticky tack call at the end of regulation for FTs
Game 3: at GSW, OKC leading until bad calls lead to a run

The refs aren't gonna make those calls in the postseason. Good luck
>>
>>67574012

>4-1
>4-1
>without curry
>Struggled

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

oh fuck i can't even fathom how retarded you are
>>
>>67574514
Haha ref ball doesn't exist in the postseason.

>wins at least two games against the spurs with ref help

Ok there famalamalam
>>
>>67574132
Nice memes retard
>>
>>67574705
Yeah the Warriors struggled to beat a SHIT Rockets team and a JUST Blazer team
>>
>>67573890

They don't have the defense to stop the three point meme barrage.

>>67575487
So you don't have a response?
>>
>>67575373
Thunder have 2 MVP candidates
Warriors have 1

2 > 1. And I'm not talking about awards, but players

>>67575667
I laughed at your opinions and suggested you literally end your idiotic life. That's my response, autist.
>>
>>67576039
How about you end yourself you Warrior bandwagon fuck.

I've been a Thunder lifer, and know more about basketball than you. Let me know how Bogut is supposed to stop Kanter and Adams
>>
>>67576047
>playoff dreams rest on Kanter and Adams

LMAO
>>
APOLOGIZE.
>>
The golden state system>>>>>>>okc hero ball

It's that simple. That's not to say the thunder can't upset, but they are underdogs
>>
>>67573951
This is objectively false. The splash bros are straight murdering fools right now.
>>
>>67576111
>The golden state system

they just set a bunch of questionable screens off the ball to get their shooters open, that's their entire system
>>
>>67574132
That would be unanimous MVP Rtard
>>
>>67576131
Let's say those sour grapes have an ounce of truth to them:

steph curry hero ball > westbroke/durcan't hero ball
>>
>>67574880
But they didn't struggle, they won by over 20 points in all of their wins. Only reason rockets got one game was cause Curry injury and Harden flopping like the little shit he is.

Yeah Thompson is a fucking scrub compared to Westbrook and Durant

And Curry is arguably not at the same level as them either
>>
>>67576047
>Thunder lifer
Lol
>>
>>67577011
Thunder fans have been way more loyal than Warrior fans, by far.

Warrior fans are former Laker fans
>>
>>67577005
Oh so Durant or Westbrook must've won the mvp this year then huh?
>>
>>67577005
yeah Golden State is full of scrubs, it's not like they got the best record in NBA history and a ring, the Thunder are better
>>
>>67577067
MVP is a media award.

The players would've voted differently
>>
>>67577037
Yea all five years they've been a franchise. At least the warriors fan base wasn't so God awful that they had to move. And that's with competition of how many other teams in the area? Just shut the fuck up you stupid ass child. Lol a thunder lifer? I guess if you're like 13 you can rep that.
>>
>>67577101
Jesus I don't understand the lengths people go through to convince themselves that the warriors aren't good.
>>
>>67576111
Trips of truth
>>
>>67577005
>averaging close to 30 ppg in the playoffs
>scrub
You know how I know you're retarded?
>>
>>67577101
yeah, the players would have just voted Curry MVP, not Unanimous MVP
>>
It's about options
Curry, Green, and Thompson are all safe bets to drop in 20 points, 5 assists EACH. that's the minimum. Curry averages 30 ppg
The thunder rely on Durant and Westbrook to be volume scorers. Adams and kanter have been good this playoffs but not championship quality. Not to mention OKC's bench isn't even close to the warriors versatility.
>>
>>67577534
Yet all of that didn't change the fact that the Thunder raped the Spurs, a much tougher team than the Warriors

Reigning champs. Come back to win 73 games the next season, best of all time. Won 5 out of the las 6 against OKC head to head.

>Muh heroball chucker Thundarr should be favored

My sides are in the stratosphere
>>
>>67578447

but the warriors beat the spurs all but once
>>
>>67582139
And they swept okc in the regular season.
>>
>>67576953
>>led the league in steals

Can we stop this meme? Camping passing lanes doesn't mean you can play defense. I like Curry but he is a sub par defender at best.
>>
>>67577534
>Thompson will drop 5 assists
Lmfao are you kidding me. As a passer he's only marginally better than fucking Tristan Thompson
>>
>>67576231
Tears if you're not bankrolling okc
>>
>>67576953
>steals
>defense

nice meme
>>
>>67573890
How isn't your mama tired of my cock yet?
>>
>>67578447

the spurs are good, but their Achilles heal is athleticism - something okc has - something the warriors also have. It's also why they got bounced out of the playoffs last year by the much less talented clippers.

the warriors would have beat the spurs in the playoffs a lot more easily than okc.

>>67582405

thats like saying brady isnt a good quarter back because he only throws short passes that get completed almost all the time.

curry's style of defense is still defense. steals are still steals. They still take away possessions and potential points.

stop saying curry is a bad defender just because he doesn't defend how you want him too. This is almost as bad as saying hes ruining basketball because he shoots 3's
>>
Lol wArrior bandwagoners on suicide watch

>>67575926
Republicans had 20 candidates for president at one point. Candidates don't mean shit if they don't win.
