What a fucking game! Westbrook is a rock star on the court and Durant played pretty well for OKC too.
But, Klay Thompson (41 points, with a play-off record of eleven 3 pointers), Steph Curry and Draymond Green brought it home in the second half. Warriors won by 7 points, 108 to 101.
Game 7 in Oakland on Monday.
Impressive effort from GS last night.
Down 7 on the road late in the 4th I thought it was over.
Now, what's left in OKC's tank after being emotionally devastated and having to go on the road?
Looking forward to Monday night.
HotD said fucking. Woooo.

It's been an exciting series. I'm really looking forward to tonight's elimination game too.
I can't see the Warriors losing this game at home, even though we lost game 1 at Oracle.
Anyway, I still believe the league finals will come down to a rematch of the Cavs vs. the Dubs. If so, it should be intense. This year, the Cavs go into it with all of their starters healthy, as is Klay Thompson for the Warriors.
Do you guys get to talk sports with women much while you're out in the real world?

Not usually.
My wife is pretty uninterested in ball-sports.
Now, the sport of balling?
She's definitely interested in that!

Nope, it's pretty rare.
Last night, the Warriors beat the Thunder by 8 points in game 7 to win the western conference finals.
So.......it's the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors for the league championship for the second straight year.
The championship series starts Thursday night. I'm pumped!

Steph put on a clinic last night in the 2nd half.
There were a couple of key plays from the 1st half that I thought were big too:
1. It's 45-33 OKC in the 2nd quarter and things are really going the Thunder's way, when Klay hits a catch and shoot 3 over an outstretched Serge Ibaka. That started an 8-0 run and really settled things down.
2. Steph's layup at the 1st half buzzer over Durant cut the halftime deficit to 6 and let everyone know things would be okay.
In the 2nd half, Curry hits 3 straight 3's over Steven Adams, when the Thunder was switching on pick and rolls. Beautifully done by the Dubs.
OKC started bickering with each other and then started to play in 1 on 5 offensive mode and that was a recipe for disaster.
In the Finals I've got the Dubs in 5.
Steph's a great clutch player and makes some amazing moves. I agree MS.
Klay was the biggest factor in our game 6 win in OKC and was critical to last night's win as well, in my opinion.
I've got the Warriors in 7.

I'm pretty sure it will take all 7 games too. I also think this is the match up the Warriors have been wanting all year. If the Cavs upset the Warriors, it will be all LeBron. I've learned to never count that guy out unless he's injured.
LeBron is a true force of nature and plays hard, no doubt Gunnar. I love watching him on the court.
He can't do it on his own against another top notch team though, as last year's finals showed.
Kevin Love and Kryie Irving being healthy this year is a huge asset for LeBron and the Cavs as compared to last year. Love needs to be more consistent than he's been in the playoffs to take the series to a game 7 though. I loved Love when he was playing for MS's home team and I have a feeling he'll kick it up against the Warriors.

If they upset (BIG if) LeBron will get the MVP. Go Warriors!
Take GS tonight minus 6 (-6) and make yourselves a little cash.
Heck, if the line was (-12) I'd lay it.
Cavs will take it tonight I think.
I think the Warriors are going to win tonight, by 8 or less points. But, I wouldn't bet money on a Warriors win and can easily see it going into overtime.

you're really not very good at this whole sports predicting thing dono.
I'm glad I didn't bet money on an 8 or less win. The Warriors beat the Cavs in Oakland by 15.
The Warriors' bench outscored the Cavs' bench 45 to 10.
Weird game -- Steph and Klay posted up their lowest combined score of the full season. Iggy really is one hell of a smart defender and play maker. He does so much for the Warriors with so little noise. Livingston, Iggy, Barbosa, Draymond, Bogut...all played great offense and defense. Steph and Klay contributed, but they weren't the stars this game.
Cavs need to regroup. JR Smith made only 1 basket tonight. Kyrie Irving was their best player tonight, followed by LeBron, in my opinion.
Game 2 in Oakland on Sunday. I think the Warriors will win that one too, but expect the Cavs to win two back to back in Cleveland next week.
