    Gimpy Curry wont be guarding Dame or Rondo. He'll be sitting because Warriors will win that series no matter what.

    He may miss a couple more shots, but he’s not playing like PG is.

    He's not quick enough to come out to hedge or double on Russ, so he has to drop back and allow the penetration. Not sure if this is on Gobert or Snyder. The other option is to have the defender go under the pick. I'd live with a Russ 20 ft jumper.

    Okc can't miss. I don't know I might even rather lose in the 1st round than lose to the thunder in the 2nd

    Portland has beat the Warriors WHILE they were healthy and still tied for the #1 seed. If Curry sits out against Portland they will lose that series.

    Hell, I'm not sure they even get past NOP in that case. The Pelicans and Blazers are a world's difference from the Spurs.

    Rubio taking anywhere close to 20 shots is a bad coaching job

    Utah doesn't know how to run their shooters off screens. Jerry Sloan is rolling over in his grave.

    Media gonna be insufferable. Every Thunder win leads to mass hysteria.

    Houston got the 1st seed and will have the hardest opponent in each round.

    Minnesota > the rest of the teams sans GS/OKC

    Meanwhile GSW gets rewarded with easy matchups through WCF.

    I think this is the absolute best we are ever going to see the Thunder play.

    Our equivalent would be that 90 point half we put on the Suns.

    Minny sucks, we should 4-0 that series.

    both OKC and Utah are better that POR and NOP tho.
