Would love nothing more than to see both Golden State & Cleveland upset in the conference finals. A Toronto-Oklahoma City NBA Final would be very exciting.

I love it but I don't understand what I'm seeing and I've been watching basketball a long time. Maybe someone with better a understanding of the game can explain it to me. OKC is rebounding, getting stops, and scoring. That's it. And doing it poorly or at least to the naked eye. They did it to the machine that is the Spurs and now last night they did it again. Running no great offensive sets. Not particularly hot from behind the arc. I can't see what they're doing defensively that's that great. They seem more lucky that their opponents are having off nights. And they aren't really that good at the scoring part themselves. They did everything but hand this game back to GS on a silver platter. I don't get it. I hope it doesn't stop though because this is and is going to continue to be some great TV. lol._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

well, I guess there goes any hope that this Cleveland-Toronto series would be exciting. Tuned out at the start of the 3rd quarter.

Did you really think that the Raptors had a good chance of beating them?

I was hoping they'd at least keep it close & win one game. Last night's game was embarrassing.

Raptors take Game 3 & Thunder now have a 2-1 over the Warriors. I'd love nothing more than a Thunder-Raptors NBA Finals.

So, are the Thunder a lock to advance to the NBA Finals? They're steamrolling the Warriors. I think GS takes Game 5 at home, then the Thunder win the series on their home court(Game 6).

but this rarely happens for the Cavs. I still see them taking out the Raptors. No way they [Toronto] win the next 2.

I agree, the refs have called so many fouls on OKC you know they want them to win. I have seen so many walks and fouls on GS that haven't been called that it is crazy. 7 fouls on OKC in the 1sr qt and none on GS. We know the league wants GS to win the title so they are working real hard on it. Sickining!! Reguardless, I still hope OKC beats them. Look at Curry, showing off, he wasn't doing that when they loss, in fact he was sitting on the bench with his head covered.

Chris Webber is so awful at color commentary that he makes Marv Albert sound bad at his job. That's hard to do.

OKC's lost tonight was squarly on the shoulders of Durant, the coach and anyone else that gave Durant the ball. If OKC had 1/2 the points Durant missed they would have won the game. He was terrible and should have been taken out of the game. Add to that the fouls that weren't called on GS, I know they called some but they also didnot call all of them. I said all along that GS would be back in the finals. They were bragged about and talked about how good they were that no way they were going to see them lose.

Choking is one thing, bad decision making the entire game another, but what happened at the end was just IMO a historic meltdown. All Durant. All disasterous. I thought he was totally gassed in the last 3 minutes. Donavan should have called timeouts, hacked Iguadala, done something, anything to put the brakes on and let his players catch their breath.
Durant easily surpasses Chris Paul's meltdown two years ago against, ironically, OKC. He literally handed the ball over to GS every time he touched it I think four times straight in the last minute. Like, Here. I need to take a nap right now._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

well, looks like we'll see a repeat of last year's final. Was really pulling for the Thunder. I just hope the Warriors aren't too burnt out from this series and their push to get the 73 wins in the regular season.
