**** you. The Warriors have always had great attendance and crowd noise relative to the product, objectively speaking. Oakland is a mecca of basketball where the best fans in the game are.

I saw they pushed back moving to SF, what's the deal with that?

It is still happening right?

This. Lots of opponents filing litigation to stop it. Would be cool if they put it in downtown Oakland somewhere. That area is significantly better than the disaster of the area Oracle is in.

I dunno who is coming down on them harder. SF for cancelling the move or Russ for cancelling their finals appearance.

Kerr should be licking Klay's butthole tonight to make up for taking him out of last game

That's probably not as good of an idea as it sounds like.

yeah it's pretty interesting - seems clear that it's a better matchup for okc than people thought. i can't see too many dissenting opinions along those lines even from the standard smart bball people on twitter

538 has okc at 56% to ring atm which is way beyond what the books have them

Curry should keep that three point **** in the regular season, for the casual fans and sportsmetrics nerds. Not even Larry Bird choked like this in the finals.

Nothing good at basketball has ever come out of Oakland except Gary Payton .

So much this, Warriors fans supported the team thought years and years of suck some of us are enjoying this era a lot because we suffered for 20 years of nonsense since the Webber trade under Chris Cohan's ownership.

We took Todd Fuller a pick before Kobe and other gems at that time.

I feel good about game five, probably lying to myself but nevertheless I feel bad about a possible game six.

Objectively speaking, OKC fans were more noisy than Dubs fans this series.

Woyas crowd is good like, I don't think there would be any teams with the best player in the world, winning by 25 every night, breaking records and playing a great style of basketball without a good crowd to cheer for them. But I def wouldn't put them #1 above the others, they're probably in first tier with a bunch of other teams.

That being said, you could really feel the hostility of the OKC crowd and the warriors basically seemed to get shook after the Draymond incident where the crowd went nuts, OKC went on a run crowd went even more nuts and next thing you know the dubs are down by 30

Warriors fans have been priced out by the Silicon Valley elites. When you see morons taking photos of Steph when he spills into the crowd instead of trying to help him you know the real fans can't afford a ticket.

OKC crowd seems way louder no denying that whatsoever. As for the Draymond kickball and ensuing OKC run I believe his teammates were thinking " WTF dude not cool " sitting there watching on the jumbotron and maybe it caused some funk from GSW before the end of that first half.

Makes sense. Tons of $ in the Bay Area now and having great seats at a Warriors game has probably become far more chic and cool in the last few years.

Back when warriors upset mavs as an 8 seed, the Warriors' home court was insane.

God what could be better than some startup douche not getting what he wants. Go write another thoughtpiece about the "venture capitalists" responsible for the team bro.

If I had to choose a side in tonight's game, I would take OKC plus 7.5, but the better move imo would be to get on OKC in game 6 if GS wins tonight.

If GS wins tonight, especially convincingly, then GS will be something like -1 in game 6, which seems insane.

Was on elevator during Q2 of G4 leaving work, talking with a Raptors fan. We mentioned the GS-OKC score and somebody who had just come on helpfully informed us that GS had stormed back to within 9 or whatever (before OKC pulled away again).

Was understandable that the guy mistook us for fans, true fans would of course be in an elevator in the middle of the most important game of the season, as he himself was. It's so sad, these SF fans really deserve it! Come on Steph!!

From what I remember from the "what-team-do-you-root-for-list at the start of the season, there are +/- 3 OKC fans on these boards. I'm one of them and this is my first post in this thread...You must really hate jwax ;_;

Think it's just you, me and a friend of mine from college. I stopped posting in SE a while ago. The takes were too hot for me.

I really only come back to lol at Baltimore Jones, because he has some weird hard on for me.

RUSS is gonna end the Warriors tonight

The guy has more WIM than anyone since Jordan and I think he's gonna want to twist the knife on the road.
