I think they should be
Durant and Westbrook ALONE have more playoff experience than anyone on the Warriors combined
Their front court isn't an insane joke
They've been playing top 2 defense in the playoffs
They're about to upset the Spurs, a much tougher matchup for a team like OKC than the Warriors would be
Not to mention that the Warriors are struggling against the Blazers
I say OKC in 5
Fuck yes
>Spurs are a tougher matchup than the Warriors
lol
Curry alone has more rings than the entire thunder team
>>67504798
The Warriors play the same style as the Thunder
Except the Thunder have been doing it longer and are more conditioned for the playoffs than the Warriors are
>>67504805
Yeah good job beating injured teams last year
>>67504873
>The Warriors play the same style as the Thunder
Dumb isoball with 2 superstars going 2 vs 5? I've never seen the Warriors play it
Yes. Big-ball is back; Westbrook-waiters-durant-kanter-Adams will get an insane amount of offensive boards. Plus okc-cavs makes a much more interesting finals to watch than a shootout between gsw and cavs
Durant and Westbrook have played in 83 playoff games
Curry has only played in 48 playoff games
Uh oh!
Remember when the Warriors lost to the Rockets and Blazers?
LOL the thunder are gonna eat them alive
>>67504937
Curry has won one ring
Durant and Westbrook have won none
Uh oh!
>>67504984
I don't know about you but 2 superstars > 1
And the Thunder play the perfect style to stymie the Warriors. Kanter and Adams are going to eat them alive
>>67504998
I'd take the Thunder trio over just Durant and Westbrook
>>67504873
well hello there Mark Jackson
Remember that all 3 Warriors-Thunders games had the Thunder up by double digits at some point in the game
Just remember that in the postseason, superstars show up
And the Warriors only have one marginal superstar coming off a knee injury. Hope the 73 wins was worth it
>>67504998
A well-rounded team with good chemistry and a solid bench including the reigning back to back mvp and 2 other all-stars > 2 superstars that don't trust their teammates and try to do everything themselves
>>67504998
Draymond will eat Kanter alive on both ends of the court. Bogut can easily neutralize Adams. The small ball death lineup may not be as effective but they really don't need it to be
I've emailed Pop and the coaching staff many times about running set plays for Kawhi down the stretch, as opposed to Iso plays... Anyone know the front office phone number? I want to talk to them ASAP
>>67505025
>postseason
>superstars show up
You realize Durant has been terrible in playoffs right? He's getting carried by Kanter, Adams, and Dion freaking Waiters. That ain't happening against GS role players
>>67505025
>marginal superstar
Curry has more MVPs and rings than Durant and Westbrook combined
>>67505037
Except Waiters, Adams and Kanter are all now in their playoff forms.
And let's talk about the superior coaching the Thunder has and the ability he has to adjust. He just outsmarted Pop, who's 10x the coach Kerr will ever be
>>67505016
Yes I would take the Thunder trio over whatever the Warriors have to offer
>>67505025
Curry was out for 1.5 quarters against the Thunder and came back and tied the record for most threes in a game... BUT LOL OKC ELITE
>>67505025
>superstars show up
Ah like Durant who is shooting 42% from the field and 28% from 3 or Westbrook who is shooting 40% from the field and 30% from 3.
>OKC in 5
>>67505025
Remember that Thunder choked all of those double digit leads and will do so again
They have a shot, because they have 2 of the top ten players on their team. I don't see it, unless Curry gets injured again. Or if Westbrook understands that he can't chuck everything in sight.
>>67505097
Just like they did against the Spurs, right?
The Spurs were a lot more consistent than the Warriors.
>>67505068
You think Curry's body is meant to last the postseason?
All it'll take is Westbrook to land on him awkwardly and it's game over.
Fucking Warriors bandwagoners
>>67505179
Oh like he got injured last postseason? or the postseason before that? or the one before that?
fucking idiot, Durant has missed more time in the last 5 years due to injury than Curry has
>>67505179
Why does every single scenario beating the Warriors involve someone trying to intentionally injure Curry?
>>67505214
But now curry is coming OFF an injury and he's clearly not conditioned to play playoff basketball or playoff minutes
You don't think he's insanely fatigued right now?
>>67505179
>Westbrook BTFO by Pat Beverly, missed rest of the season
>Curry is the one who's injury prone
u owt
>>67505243
if that was him fatigued think how much he will wreck once he gets the 5-7 days off between rounds...
>>67505062
The Warriors COMBINED have 7 all star appearances
Westbrook and Durant ALONE have 10
Yeah Curry is marginal
>>67505282
MVPs make you more of a superstar than all-star appearances
>>67505282
Curry ALONE has 2 MVPs
Westbrook and Durant COMBINED only have 1
Yeah Westbrook and Durant are marginal
I'm just saying that if OKC can finish the Spurs off, they will have so much confidence that I don't think anyone will beat them
>>67505300
>>67505293
Uh huh
Except last year Harden (another OKC product) was robbed so really Curry has one MVP and an asterisk
And Durant/Westbrook are also top MVP contenders. All GSW is Curry and the crew
There's no second option like a Westbrook/Durant on the Warriors. Klay is a slightly better version of Waiters. Draymond isn't all that good at scoring
The Warriors are outclassed
>>67505381
So someone on the Warriors is as good as Westbrook and Durant?
Point them out to me
>>67505388
Curry, Klay, Green > Durant, Westbrook
You realize Westbrook had 8 turnovers yesterday and was -4 the whole game?
>>67505388
Klay has been putting up more points and on better efficiency than both of them this postseason
>>67505403
>>67505404
Curry = Westbrook/Durant >>>>>>>> Klay > Draymond
Klay isn't an MVP candidate like Westbrook and Durant are
And Green is basically a shorter Ibaka
Do you fools even watch basketball?
>>67505451
So I guess Westbrook and Durant will play all 48 minutes the whole series right? What happens when livingston and the finals MVP come off the bench against OKC bench?
>>67505451
>Green is basically a shorter Ibaka
Thunder fan here, just dropping in to say you're a fucking idiot
>>67505319
>Except last year Le breakfast beard man (another jOKC product) was robbed so really Curry has one MVP and an asterisk
If James harden got an MVP for a season of chucking and being the biggest ref-baby of the modern area then bball would be done
>>67505474
Given how the Thunder is beating the much superior Spurs bench....that doesn't worry me one minute
And Donovan isn't an idiot. He'll stagger minutes so at least one of them is on the floor at all times
>>67505451
You didn't say MVP candidate, you said second option. A second option's job is to score, which Klay has been doing better than Westbrook and Durant in the postseason.
Also your ranking is wrong.
Curry > Durant > Westbrook > Draymond > Klay
>>67505490
What does Green really do then, """""Thunder fan""""""
>>67505495
The Warriors bench is much better than the Spurs bench. OKC is inferior to the Warriors in every way possible
I'm a Cavs fan so I have no dog in this fight - but OKC is gonna rape the Warriors
>>67505559
>Warriors bench
>better than Spurs bench
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAAH
ok sure thing.
Durant and Westbrook are better than any combination of two players on the Warriors
Never mind how Adams, Kanter and Waiters have suddenly showed up
>>67505631
Curry/Klay/Iguodala/Barnes/Draymond is better than any combination of 5 players on any team in the NBA
>>67505657
This, the Warriors top 5 is better than the Thunder 5
>>67505583
t. mad lebeta fan afraid of getting cucked by curry again
>>67505657
>>67505671
Ok?
Still doesn't disprove the fact that Durant and Westbrook are better than any combination of 2 players the Warriors have.
And Westbrook is going to guard Curry at the 3 point line. Let's see how good he is without it
>>67505631
Warriors bench is better. You're simply wrong.
>>67505583
Not if baseg0d has something to say about it, bitch
>>67505699
>Still doesn't disprove the fact that Durant and Westbrook are better than any combination of 2 players the Warriors have.
Well you see, the game of basketball is played 5v5
>>67505687
>>67505716
Either way the way the Cavs are playing right now they'll rape the West winner
>>67505699
>Westbrook is going to guard Curry at the 3 point line. Let's see how good he is without it
Remember that time Westbrook guarded Curry at the 3 point line and Curry tied the record for most 3 pointers in a game

>>67505746
Green's the most valuable player on the Warriors and it isn't even close Jesus Christ what is wrong with you people
>>67504729
Why would they be? They arent even guaranteed to win this series lol
>itt: delusion
>>67505699
>And Westbrook is going to guard Curry at the 3 point line. Let's see how good he is without it
kek, Westbrook isn't an elite defender. Kawhi Leonard, the reigning back to back DPoY couldn't keep him from hitting his 3s what makes you think Westbrick can
>>67505720
Except in the playoffs the rotations are a lot shorter and stars will always be out on the court
If you think OKC will really lose after upsetting one of the all time best teams, prepare to be surprised
>>67505791
>>67505754
>>67505720
All this same fag
>>67505798
So what's stopping the Warriors from playing that starting 5 more than normal then?
>>67505812
Only two of those are me
>>67505812
all me
>>67505817
You think those 5 are conditioned enough to contain the best duo of all time?
Especially when Durant and Westbrook are relatively young
>>67505848
Draymond, Klay and Barnes are all younger than Durant and Westbrook
>>67505798
>one of the all time best teams
The dubs are THE all time best team
>>67505861
>>67505861
Until 2 years ago they've barely experienced what a playoff game can do to a human body
I'll take veteran expertise every single time
Not to mention that Curry is a lot older than Westbrook and Durant and way less athletic
>>67505848
>best duo of all time
And they were conditioned enough to contain them 6/7 times this season
>>67505861
Exqctly.
Draymond, Klay and Barnes are all too inexperienced
>>67505891
>what a playoff game can do to a human body
*tips fedora*
are you guys not aware that timmy D is gna dad dick the thunder on their own floor?
>>67505929
So he's gonna actually score in the next game?
>>67505891
>Curry is a lot older than Westbrook and Durant
Oh yeah and Melo is a lot older than LeBron
>>67505921
Yeah OKC has played in over 80 playoff games since 2010
The Warriors barely have 50
I don't mind curry or klay but draymond is a legitamite nigger and I hope curry gets hurt just to shut his ugly ass up.
>>67505961
How many championships have they won in those 80 games though?
>>67505961
And their "experience" has led them to what? Havent won a championship lol some duo they are!
DAE think RIP COD and Activision?
>>67505974
Obviously the warriors are the favorites and will win in six at the most but the britfag bandwagoners in this thread are annoying. Go back to /arse/ or some other faggy thread.
>>67505983
It took MJ 9 years to win his first championship
KD and WB are due
>>67506041
So Curry > MJ by that logic?
Durant and Westbrook are perennial chokers. Not winners. Two of the best players and they still can't win? Pathetic!
>>67506041
He won in his 7th season, but who's counting, right?
>>67505947
he got 2 last game motherfucker
Who literally gives a shit? Have you seen the Cavs in the last month? Lelbron is going to sweep the western conference champions in 5.
