<p>With five minutes to go OKC were in great position, just needed a bit more composure down the stretch. They didn't get the bench impact this game, and Russ drifted in and out of the game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>KD wasn't at his best but they still should have closed it out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Curry wasn't at his best either, but the really good teams can do that. If the star has an off night, someone else steps up. Klay was incredible.</p>
<p>
Though I actually thought watching Curry tonight was a bit like watching Tiger Woods in his prime. Tiger would sometimes have these off rounds, where it just wasn't going right for him, but would somehow stay in contention and be two shots back with five holes to go. And then his sheer force of will just took over, and the putts started to drop.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was the same with Curry tonight. All over the place, but when the Championship minutes came around, he was nailing everything.</p>

<p>If they don't win the series this will damage the Thunder psychologically.  Still, whatever doesn't kill you yada yada yada.  Most of the other great teams went through this although OKC might argue they already have when they lost the finals a few years back, albeit with a different roster</p>

<p>Gutted. I am actually genuinely disappointed. I am not sure why I care so much about a bunch of American millionaires.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>GSW are a bunch of fluffybunnies.</p>

<p>I just watched "Believeland" a 30 for 30 doco about the Cleveland curse.  No pro sports championship since 1964, multiple times they looked on the verge of breaking the curse only to suffer terrible luck, or they made poor decisions that ended in tears.  If OKC can't win it, as much as I don't really like LBJ, I'm happy for the Cavs to win it to put the sports fans of Cleveland out of their misery.  They certainly will appreciate it more than anyone else</p>

Just finished watching the game after avoiding the score all day. What a game aye. <br><br>
Some of Klay's 3s were off the wall. Quick release, guy in his grill and from 2-3 feet beyond. <br><br>
OKC (Westbrook) went into rush mode in the 4th. The Dubs upped the defensive pressure no doubt, but I thought OKC lacked composure and then it slipped away, very quickly. <br><br>
Tough shooting night for the OKC duo. Combined 20-58 for KD and Russ. They forced some pretty tough ones down the stretch when they were still in control. <br><br>
Massive game Tuesday, can't wait.

OKC have what it takes to win, hopefully they turn up for the full 48 minutes today

[ACT Crusader]

<p>Stevie comes out really aggressive, looking for his shots</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>I can't watch right now so watching viw ESPN website. Are OKC all over them but missing a truckload of shots?</p>

[ACT Crusader]

<p>Warriors have gone small early after they started Iggy for Barnes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>KD starting to get going now after not taking a shot in the first 6 minutes (very unusual).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hooroo, not really all over them. Fairly even start. Both sides missed a few shots. Rebounding about even so far.</p>

[canefan]

Good quarter by OKC but missed a few close ones at the end. Durant has to shelve the mid range jumpers and take it to the rack strong

[canefan]

Q2 thunder moving the ball and looking good. Waiters feeding the role players, especially Kanter cashing in. They need to keep spreading the ball and making the extra pass to win

[canefan]

Draymond Green tries to rip Steven Adam's arm out of the socket and drags him on top, slamming his head into the court. Jeez he's a dirty bastard

[Rembrandt]

<p>..having an extended lunch break and really enjoying the game. Never really watched BBall before outside of Oz v NZ, its a great watch, nice having a NZ link in there</p>

[ACT Crusader]

<p>What a game. Intense as ever. OKC lead 48-42 at the half. Klay started to hit something in that 2nd quarter. He's the key man for the Warriors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>KD pretty quiet so far in terms of looking for his shot. He will no doubt come out in the 2nd half looking to be really aggressive. Russ playing a fair bit of iso and looked rushed on a number of his shots.</p>

[canefan]

OKC trying their hardest to let GSW steal the game. As good as they shared the ball, selfish decisions by Westbrook are letting the pressure off

[Baron Silas Greenback]

<p>Well this game is pretty much done. GSW just live by the 3 pointer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gutted for OKC</p>

One of the better reverse jinxes so far this year.

Not out of it yet BSG.

[Baron Silas Greenback]

<p>Nah, they are done.</p>
<p>Every time OKC get close, GSW throw up a bad shot that turns into a made 3.</p>
