Western Conference Finals Game 7
OKC rebounded well but their three point shooting let them down. The two key players, Durant and Westbrook's ball security was just awful. And Waiters was shooting bricks too. GSW by comparison nailed it when they needed to, their three point shooting is what clinched it for them. Plus, their bench chipped in nicely. Can GSW go back to back? Cleveland look the better team.

Western Conference Finals Game 6
OKC choked in game 6. Congrats Golden State, you did a very professional job. OKC should have closed out the match but they were the ones rushing shots, coughing the ball up and Kevin Durant, Mr Unreliable.

Western Conference Finals Game 5
GSW were pumped for a do or die effort and they delivered. OKC weren't boxing out and their shots weren't dropping. That probably accounts for the winning margin right there. How many offensive boards were scored by GSW off a failure to box out by OKC? They'll have to address these lapses if they hope to win the series. If they lose at home, look for GSW to take it out on their home court. So the result is likely either 4-2 to OKC or 4-3 GSW.

Western Conference Finals Game 4
OKC have exploited a Steph Curry weakness, he can't guard a man much bigger than himself. And OKC are even getting their bigs out on the perimeter shooters. With their height, arms outstretched = no easy looks for the Warriors. To top it off, the game is being played at OKC pace, the run and gun Warriors just get frustrated and revert to fouling. The OKC look like a different team now than during the regular season.

Western Conference Finals Game 3
OKC win again and why? Defense. Golden State are vulnerable if defended well. They seem to crumble as soon as any resistance is felt and rush their shots. OKC can take the series of they continue defending like that. The cheap shot on Steven Adams by Draymond Green should see him suspended at least one game (Dahntay Jones of the Cavaliers received a one game ban only an hour before the tip off in this game, for a groin shot some would say was less serious). If Green isn't suspended, well, it means the league is fixed.
