Then GSW comes down the court and it's a flick of the wrist 3pt shot that just looks so easy. Just like that they take the lead despite not having played a great game.
Both teams are worthy of winning the series but I'd just feel bad seeing OKC lose when they've played the better basketball thoughout the series. Damn it's tough. Logically I'm thinking GSW will win with home court, the way they conserve energy, and curry being a better closer than Westbrook. Great stuff though.
Interesting that you think OKC played the better basketball. I believe GS had more assists, fewer turnovers, higher shooting percentage, etc. All the hallmarks of what I consider good basketball.
Russell Westbrook really is a force to be reckoned with. Amazing. But Kevin Durants reliance on free throws and the thunders attempts to draw shooting fouls on jumpers is really frustrating to watch imo... Also, the fact that they have so many possessions that start with a bad miss and a offensive rebound and put back by one of their garbage collectors is imo just bad basketball...
westbrook needs to chill with his atrocious flops after jumpers. that 3-ptr where he just imploded on igoudala was pathetic.. and it ended up really hurting OKC, because Klay caught fire directly after that.
and ya I think GSW plays the better basketball.. I think GSW struggled to play their 'beautiful style' vs OKC, definitely.. but what they did vs Portland for example, that absolutely ridiculous ball movement/getting everyone involved, they are a much more impressive team to watch from a basketball-purity standpoint, imho.
