people love to defend the warriors. not too surprising.
i just think they're going up against a better team right now. durant and westbrook are quite the trump card, and the way the thunder are defending and rebounding in the postseason is pretty advantageous.
warriors could very well win this series, but i feel like people are overvaluing them and giving them so much benefit of the doubt simply because they won 73 regular season games. at the end of the day, those wins don't really mean much right now. what matters most is the thunder having more than a handful of matchup advantages in this series.

The rebounding margin battle is a HUGE factor imo...gm 2 I believe Warriors outrebounded OKC but gm 1&3 OKC had it. 2nd chance pts and also controlling the tempo of the game is a lot easier to do if your big men are imposing their will down low in the paint

You're not wrong.
People see 73 wins and think can't conceive that this team could lose in the playoffs, even in the face of mounting evidence of their flaws.
At the beginning of the playoffs I was just hoping that someone might challenge them, but I didn't see who that could be. Things have changed. Intelligent people can adjust expectations based on new information and there's no weakness in doing that.
