    I'm on GS for 3 units. OKC back to back on the road even in a close city I think they keep it close until half then GS blow them away.

They didn't have that defensive versatility last year. Bogut is healthy. Lee is an All Star type player. Curry is unstoppable.

    They got a decent bench with Barnes as the focal point.

    The warriors will be a threat in the West. They're big, long. Not the most athletic, but they have pure shooters and most importantly, they have the BEST PASSING FRONTCOURT in basketball.
    I think GS has a better shot of coming out of the West than most people think. A lot will come down to the health of Bogut and Lee. If they can stay healthy, I like their chances this year. Iggy is a great addition, he will be able to guard the Durant's and LeBron's of the league. I do think they will miss Jarrett Jack. Oh, and they have one of the best home court advantages.

    This game should be a preview of the west finals..... I see OKC with the slight edge only because they have more experience in big game. But it's in GS so it's really a coin flip. I took OKC ML just because of the value (on a coin flip).

    Also glad I took the over

    Jarett Jack was chucking up way too many shots. I'd rather see Curry or Iggy take those shots in clutch time now. Jack wouldn't be on the floor in the final 3 min of games anyway. It's gonna be the entire starting lineup in there to close out every playoff game unless they decide to go small at which point Barnes or Green will come in for defense.

    Real question is how does the NBA slow this game down enough to justify the drop in the total.

    Not much has changed.

    Warriors still play zero D.

    Game over... Durant 5th foul - BS call. Why did they shoot FTs on that anyway?

    Yep okc peaked two years ago. Warriors are obviously the better and more complete team. With Harden/Martin gone, they pretty much need 60 combined points from Westbrook and Durant each night.

    fhked, everything.



    Now OKC just going to shoot 3s miss, then Gs goes the other way and get the easy 2.

    Unless their D improves I'm thinking more like 75 to win on the road.

    They'll still be fine at home though, scrubs tend to play well at home.

    I don't know how they're going to win a road playoff game against a top 4 seed.

    Don't overreact. You can win a lot of playoff games when you have 2 of the top 10 players in the world on one team. It doesn't really matter who else is around them. A 1-2 punch like that is much more important come playoff time than a more well-balanced team without multiple all stars.

    Yeah, you can never write them off with those 2, agree. But they will have to score a hell of a lot on the road when bench players typically fold. They lost yesterday's game during that end 3rd-start 4th stretch and it looks like it could be the same story today.

    I think Durant's body is worn from workouts to make him stronger in the long run. I don't think OKC is willing to put too much physically into a game this early in the season.

We are talking about 40 years of pain and disappointmentand it will take more than a healthy Bogut and the signing of Iguadala to think that anything has changed.
    nice analysis

    Yet they only have 13 points in the fourth quarter and now the game is right in line with a photo finish on the spread -- isn't that "amazing"?
