OKC's ok defense and their turnover prone offense is a terrible matchup against GS.

Some GSW beat writers disagree.

Have said it for months now: I think OKC is a more dangerous match-up for the Warriors.

Two guys who can control games by themselves, even vs. the Warriors.


And retweeted a guy saying the Warriors have struggled against extremely athletic teams some this season.

I don't think see why OKC can't make it an interesting series. OKC has two players that can score even when GS turns up the defensive pressure. I mean I don't think they will win, but I don't necessarily think they're a worse match up than the SAS. It's just a different match up.

I don't see how anyone thinks that the Spurs could challenge GSW in a series. It's as simple as 3 > 2. Spurs can't make enough 3s to stay with them. Too reliant on mid range jump shooting. Aldridge was all world in the first two games. Since then??? Nope. the Spurs can't really score on GSW either. 4 of top 6 players in the series Are Warriors. Big time talent advantage. They absolutely dismantled the Spurs in the regular Just a terrible terrible matchup for the Spurs. Now I don't think OKC could force a game 6 either but at least that series would be more exciting to watch with Westbrook and KD. The team with the best chance to beat GSW is CLE. funny certain people have been saying that all year long and now that we're getting deep into the playoffs it become more evident by the day.

its not over till its over and i have a hard time believing these spurs lose 3 in a row. If the spurs can somehow get this game 6, game 7 is a lock imo

I agree OKC needs to win game 6. I would like to see the Westbrook vs Curry match up in the Conference Finals.

Yep Spurs need to be put out to pasture. Great career Duncan and Ginobili, but your time has passed. Spurs window is closed unless they pull off another Aldrigde level signing. Frankly they don't have championship level talent collectively outside of their best 2 players. I'm not sure Aldridge Leonard can be the top 2 players on a title team but if they can be that team needs a heck of a lot more help than what this Spurs team trots out there.
