For sure. I said it earlier but O rebounding/Durant ownage should be a big concern for GSW. Although the Dubs can play shutdown D and OKC plays none. I also think Bogut getting hurt might be a blessing a disguise but Buckets/AV vs Anus Cancer will not be pretty.

Ty captain obvious. The fact is that they're playing better, and if you think it's because of momentum then...

Hope Spurs can make this a decent game, but really just here waiting for Pop's post game presser at this point.

I'll watch too tho

they don't have this insane difference in athleticism against OKC, I don't see how that series is ever going to be close

He will just suck off durant and westbrook, raving about how good they are. Pretty sure he enjoys losing more than winning.

Are you suggesting leaving with a lead and coming back in down 12 doesn't effect the way a team would play?

Obv
OKC is just smashing them but Pop has been very bad this game and he should feel very bad about it.

Pop has 5 rings bro, he can't coach bad.

And more than anything the beneficiary of having Duncan for his whole career, defensive master who's an overall superstar and totally defers to Pop and is the most coachable guy in the world

Pop certainly played the bench too much, it was being awful so he tried different bench players instead of putting the starters back in. But that's not the reason our starting unit is getting killed

Ya 5/29 is just because Pop is WOAT, no variance there.

yeah I doubt anything Pop did in the first half would've mattered all that much. Everyone is playing like ****, Roberson is draining 3s and we're getting blown the **** out. The horrible rotation choices mattered a lot more in the moment than they do now.

He's experimenting with lineups in an elimination game and LMA and Kawhi aren't playing 48 mins. Pretty bad.

Yeah I mean some of this stuff matters marginally, but the Thunder are just a much better basketball team.

Nah. They might be better, "much better" is utterly ****ing moronic recency bias. 2-3 bounces or calls and the Spurs won in 5.

yeah, a couple of different possessions and this would be a little different series. Unfortunately if we assume our recent struggles are partly fatigue then we'd be humiliated by GS, can't play that team and not be fresh.
