Thunder are deep. Durant and Westbrick are superstars. Adams and Ibaka are walking double doubles. Starter caliber players in Kanter and Waiters off the bench. Roberson breaking out. No shame in losing to a stacked team like that.
I don't think it's surprising that they're down against OKC; that team can be as good as any other, when they get it together. And it doesn't really affect historical implications either (with the whole '96 Bulls debate). A great team is a great team. I think a lot of fans are just happy to see the Warriors struggle, whether it'd be because of entertainment or simply being a fan of the Bulls. >.>
I believe the Warriors will come back to win three straight, but if they don't, then all credit has to go to OKC. It would seem all those runs up that desert slope paid off.
Still a great team, but when you rely so heavily on the 3 point shot, it only takes a couple of bad shooting games for you to get sent packing...although, this has been more about OKC imposing their will on them than anything else.
If they find their shooting touch anything can happen, but OKC seem to have their number. Even in the regular season games that they blew late, OKC were the better team most of the way.
People were going full ****** comparing them to the best team to ever step in a basketball court in the history of Earth but they're still an ATG squad
"Durant/Westbrook are the best 1-2 punch now, no shame losing to them"
"Curry is still injured, WTF are you thinking"
Excuses, excuses
This is what happens when you hype something to an unreachable level, they fall so hard it's almost impossible to recover
GSW is still a great team, but when faced by a REAL competition they seemed like a 50-win team struggling against a contender. This is the same team that struggled against one-man team last year.
