re: Warriors should be scared part two

They tried that exact lineup in game 1 and it didn't work well, they ended up with a +/- of -7. Ie, shite like tonight happens

except it hasn't. the death lineup has destroyed pretty much everyone. and the thunder haven't played particularly well small well ever. this is a new and dangerous precedent.

except those didn't exist before tonight. Are we just supposed to assume those have randomly come about tonight but not in any of their previous games?

these possibilities always existed. thunder warriors have always been a close matchup. do you not remember that it took steph going absolutely apeshit and hitting a half court shot to win that game? He pretty much single-handedly kept them in that game with his individual brilliance.

the point is that the Warriors lost game 1 that they should've won. that's putting them behind the 8 ball here. the thunder always had the capacity to play an A game and kick the shite out of just about anyone.

The Thunder is one of the few teams in the league athletic enough around the perimeter to switch everything one the Warriors when they go small while still keeping rim protection. The other is Boston. But the difference is that on the other end, Westbrook and Durant and Ibaka can outrun everyone on the Warriors team. They proved it last night.

apparently, you're a huge Warriors fan. not scared? cool. even the people covering your team recognize that something different is happening this series. And if they lose, you're gonna be like. "No one saw this coming". except here we are, saying it is coming.

You've drawn the one team in the league capable of doing what you do as well enough to keep them in the game til they can win with their other advantages. Too bad the Spurs didn't advance. I'm sure the Warriors would beat them and then steamroll the Cavs.
