Greatest Team Ever They Said
didn't know a series was won with 3 wins...

yes but

Bulls

72-10 then 15-3 in playoffs for 87-13 season

Warriors

73-9 then 9-5 so far in playoffs for 82-14 season.

even if they win every game from here out thats 89-14 and hence an inferior season.

OKC have got to be title favourites now. Such an impressive playoffs they've had since game 1 San Antonio.

However if any team can win 3 straight, it's Golden State. Although if Steph isn't Steph, this thing is over in 6 at the latest.
The Thunder are so physically dominant it's so impressive how they're just asserting themselves over these all time great teams. If they had a solid Afflalo type at SG that would be a freaking monster.

As impressive as the Adams/Kanter combo has been.

The lineup of Ibaka, Durant, Waiters, Roberson and Westbrook have outscored the Warriors starting 5, 96-32 in the last two games.

Thunder are dominating the Warriors at their own game, always believed the potential this group had and always said we needed more output from our bench and they've delivered.

I honestly think thunder will run away with it in game 5.

Yes Warriors have the potential to win the next 3 and they've earnt that right to have everyone think that.

But games 3 and 4, Thunder have dominated them in every way possible, don't see that changing soon.

Thunder 4-1
Cavs 4-2

Thunder v Cavs finals.

Regardless of the result I hope people fairly respect both of the teams competing in the WCF and the Spurs too for the amazing seasons they all put up

My Chumps

This has been a crazy turn around for the Thunder. Who genuinely thought they were a contender at the start of the playoffs? Who thought they were gonna get past the Spurs, especially after game 1?

It's all really pissed me off too because I wanted to see KD leave haha.

3 very strong sides in the western conference. It's a shame the East doesn't have the same quality
2 very tough match ups in a row for the Thunder, how much is left in the tank for a potential finals matchup with the Cavs

What are the chances of the Thunder winning game 5 and clinching the series?
I reckon it would be about 50-50 now

Im loving this situation

Warriors only need to win 1 game on the road

Yet OKC only need 1 more win...

Yep same here. I think it's about 80/20 OKC at this point. Most likely outcome is GSW having a pride game on Friday, but then OKC closing it out game 6.

Cavs Raptors I have at about 90/10 Cavaliers. Think the Cavs win the next 2 but wouldn't be shocking if it goes 7.

Durant at $5.50 for Finals MVP... Don't mind that at all.

I've got on Westbrook for the same price, borderline trip dubs every game will snatch it even if Durant averages over 35ppg.  Ever been dual MVP's?  Can see it happening for the first time if OKC win, and would be the very fitting if Durant and Westbrook shared the award.

JBs-Hawks

Westbrook will get it if Okc win. LeBron will slow Durant down alot better them Kyrie will slow down Westbrook.

I remember the last time a LeBron James team let a 2-0 series lead get tied back up at 2-2. Then this happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_uulujs-MM, and the LeBron team went down 2-3. And as far as I can remember, the series ended right there and no game 6 or 7 were ever played :)

This series has a few similarities! Wonder if the Raps can steal one in Cleveland though.
