    Just exactly how many late game controversial non-calls are gonna go the Thunder's way in this year's playoffs? Man... it's unreal.

    i do think curry was being held off the ball a ton--waiters did so flagrantly on a couple plays down the stretch. they need to clean that up. but durant was also hit on several drives without a call. this wasn't miami/dallas level biased officiating.

    I guess Durant still gets free throws on the "rip through" move -__-

    Whoever comes out of that West series is going to be playing at an incredibly high level.

    why the hell isnt curry shooting more? what is going on?

    KD is just going off and curry literally hasn't taken a shot in the entire 2nd quarter

    Thunder starters are playing heavy minutes. Wonder if they start to feel that as the series progresses

    I underestimated Steve Kerr as a coach. He seems to quickly figure out a game plan once playing against a team. Warriors should have won game 1.

    Just turned on the game, holy crap, somebody must have pissed the Warriors off. Really hope they've woken up for good, need them to beat the Cavs.

    Stephen Curry is ailing and was still able to give 60% from the field and 62% from the 3pt line. I don't think he's even 75%.

    What the hell happened to Stephs Elbow? Looks like he has a golf ball in there.

    He went after a loose ball, jumped over the front row, flipped and probably landed on his elbow.

    That's what called sending a message. That was "you stole won because we fell asleep at the wheel, but you won't be doing that again in our house." Still have to not only hold court but steal one back in their place though. That was impressive tonight. But win by 1 point or 30 it's just one W.

    Pretty pumped to watch game 3. It will likely be GS to advance, but at least tonight should be an entertaining game. The 1st half in G2 had a very weird pace to it, but still tense and entertaining. Durant was starting to heat up in the 3rd, but he lost his cool and got tech-ed. 4 free throws, pissed-off-Steph activates his trap card and its game over. In like 3 minutes. I still would have picked GS to win that game, but I didn't expect the game to be decided so quickly. I say the probability of either Westbrook or Durant going off tonight is pretty high. And Steph will be Steph. Should be a good game

    On another note, Steven Adams is one of my favorite players now. I love that guy. Sure, he makes all the hustle plays and dirty work. But he is awesome because he really attacks the cup, and people kind of get out of his way. Hope he's not too dinged up tonight

    Adams has been one of the more interesting figures during the playoffs. Aside from his solid play, self described "caveman" with tons of funny quips. Yes, he does bring an element of physicality out there. Adams has rendered Colison irrelevant.

    A shame Bogut is inactive. A KIwi and an Aussie tangling would have made an entertaining side-story.

    Why the hell is game 3 not until Sunday? Game 2 on Wedneday, game 3 Sunday? This isn't the NFL, there should not be more than 2 days between games, ever, and the 2 days off should only be between travel for game 2 and 3. Otherwise, 1 day between games. Like the Cavs need a week or 2 of rest because they stretch out this WCF series.
