    "All he needs to see is one of those go in," Green told The Vertical. "Just one – and then it gets bad for everybody."

    (from Woj's article bottom last page) Epic performance for the ages. Cut from the same cloth as The Mamba. I f****** missed the 2nd half. :No2:


    If anyone gets wind of a replay of the game, or link to Curry's highlight reel from it PLEASE let any     schmos here like me that missed this know.

    I agree with Chuck, last night was the best game of the playoffs this season. Incredible performances. Clutch shots left and right from Lillard, McCollum, Klay, Barnes and of course Steph. It's a shame in a certain way that Portland lost because no way this one goes 7 now and if they had won I think it might have. Entertaining stuff.

    Wow, what a nail in the coffin shot by Curry to go up 128-120. Leaving Paul Allen with his jaw dropped, lol!

    Seriously, probably the most entertaining part is watching the audience's reaction. Someone near the Blazer bench (probably assistant coach?) looked like he did a Sign of the Cross after the shot went in.

    It was a great game, but the games are always better when your team is involved, and on the winning end.

    Stephen Curry is one BAD man... I sat there laughing watching how he did in Portland just about all by himself in OT. Criminy!

    I'll be stunned if OKC/San Antonio doesn't go 7.

    Westbrook had taken over the game.

    Damn. Days like this I think Durant might be the second best player on that team which is a weird thought.

    If OKC wins this series, I don't see any way or reason for Durant to leave OKC.

    Westbrook is incredible. He should all his critics up tonight. Just an amazing all around performance by an amazing and truly great basketball player.

    After game 1 of this series, im shocked at the Thunder now being up 3-2. These teams appear to be very evenly matched, it could go 7 no question. I would not mind seeing the Thunder advance though, I'd like to see the Warriors vs the Thunder, a playoff series I don't believe we have seen yet, and a matchup of some megastars .

    Westbrook, 1 assist away from being the first player since Magic to get a triple double at San Antonio.

    I am surprised by this series and I think the Spurs are in trouble. OKC is playing exactly the way everyone expected them to, meaning extremely dependent on Westbrook and Durant. They have been good, sometimes great, but it's not like they have played above expectations over the course of series. The role players are mediocre, especially on offense.

    San Antonio on the other hand looks weirdly chaotic at times, both on defense and on offense. Uncharacteristically bad decision-making. And Tim Duncan is not Tim Duncan anymore. Kawhi may be the best 2-way-player but he cannot dominate a series offensively, and Aldridge has cooled off after the first 2 games.

    I, as many others, have counted out the Spurs too many times over the years and been proven wrong, but it is very tempting to count them out again. At least I don't see how they would have a chance against the Warriors anymore.

    Spurs backcourt ( minus Green) is old/trash .

    Overall Spurs have trouble dealing with athleticism , nothing new here .

    This isn't over as OKC has an amazing ability to beat itself .

    KD and Russ are great talents but don't pay attention to details , some of their TOs are still laughable .

    You can speak about (rightfully so) the lacking supporting cast and coaching but I definetely think Durant and Westbrook have huge responsabilities in the disorganized offense .


    PS : Adams has become a VERY serviceable player
