I was telling people before the series even started that this was OKC's time to win a title. Curry is a great shooter and all but he is nowhere near as complete of a PG as Westbrook and Westbrook has been proving it thus far.

BACK TO BACK BABY! As a Thunder fan I never expected that going into Game 5 we would be winning 3-1. Nor would we beat the Warriors back to back by 20 points or more. Game five in Oracle, wouldn't surprise me if the Warriors won.

I do think that OKC has all the momentum and the fact that they were able to get one at Oracle means that they are obviously capable of doing it again. Do I think the Warriors will go all out in game 5 and forward? Obviously. But going all out and winning are two different things. Some things I want to point out for OKC being so far ahead right now are (in no particular order):
- Russ is outplaying Curry (injured or not). - Durant is being Durant and Klay just simply doesn't have the complete game like the Durantula has. - OKC's bigs are neutralizing GS "death lineups" way more than even I had anticipated. - Turnovers are KILLING the Warriors right now. - When he's not kicking Steven Adams' clackers, Draymond has become a non-factor. You might as well call him Patrick Swayze, cause he's Ghost right now (I'm referencing the movie and not the fact that he has passed. I'm not that crass). - Offensive rebounds have been dominated by OKC, and when you have to over-emphasize your scoring like GS is doing right now, the buckets that used to come in more bunches don't and then your jump shooting starts to become more and more over-emphasized as well and you get to where we currently are. The Warriors bench is being more depended upon all year and now (as if perfect timing) they aren't coming through while OKC is gelling at the best possible time. Ibaka, Roberson, Waiters, Kanter. All those guys are coming through when they need them to. No one on GS bench has made even a remote impact.
I'm not throwing in the towel. You live in the good times and you live in the bad. It comes with the territory of a sports fan. But, as someone who likes to view sports from a different view than in the moment & giving hot takes, you can blatantly see Golden State has become relaxed and not in the good way and not at the best time.
It's very difficult the predict what is going to happen next (as this Playoffs has shown) but it's gonna take a near perfect performance going forward for GS to win this series.
Do I see it coming in Game 5? Yeah.
Will that be enough for them to win the series?
No.

In my defense with that post a couple of days ago, how the hell was I suppose to think that Klay & Steph would combine for a billion threes and the Thunder would do what they did.
Okay.
Now, having said that:

Damn I was hoping that OKC would win Klay saved that series for Golden State though, he played great in the clutch on offense and defense. Westbrook had Stephs number for the most part to be honest. I cant wait to see how he fairs against Kyrie and his crazy good ball skills.
