    It'll be a miracle if the Thunder are able to pull this one out.

    Just that last 3.

    The game changed again in the 3rd quarter. OKC had their chances but GS executed better down the stretch. This should be a great finals.

    Cleveland hasn't had a team in pro sports win a championship in over 50 years. What better way than to beat the team they lost to in the previous and in a year GS is trying to go down in history as the greatest team in NBA history? GS has the 73 wins, the league MVP, just came back from 3-1, and going for the repeat. This is all set up for the Cavs to finally give Cleveland something to celebrate and I think LeBron and the Cavs do it. Plus Anderson Varejao spent all those years in Cleveland it's only right they win after he leaves.

    Still amazed that almost everyone counted the Warriors out after game 4 and counted the thunder out after game 6. Those were 2 great teams, it wasn't over till about a minute left tonight.

    People are too quick to react off the most recent game, happens too often in the playoffs.

    Man I don't know when everyone started hating the warriors lol, certainly wasn't this way last year with the same finals match up.

    Think people are probably just sick of all the talk about them.

    @Kon why would you be amazed people counted Warriors out after game 4? they're the only the tenth team in history to win a series after being down 3 games to 1. i bet you wouldn't have bet money that the warriors would have still won the series after game 4 lol

    i mean i picked the warriors to win in 7 games before the series started, but i'll be honest, i thought it was over after the thunder went up 3 games to 1

    Yeah obviously I wouldn't bet money unless I had odds in my favor when they're down 3-1, that's different than counting them out.

    They're one of the best teams of all time, clutch, have playoff experience, are the defending champs, won 73 games, had 2 of 3 left at home and can get hot at any time... Just a few reasons I was amazed people thought the series was done.

    That stat with 10 teams is irrelevant to me, gotta look at each situation on its own.

    Also I'm hearing people say OKC choked, I mean sure to a certain extent I guess you can say that since they had a 3-1 series lead and they also had a lead late in game 6 at home.

    But the warriors were historically great this series, Klay hitting 11 3s has never been done before in a playoff game, Curry had some amazing plays in the last 2 games as well. Any other year probably including last year OKC wins the west playing the way they did this series, warriors were just too good and too motivated.

    I do think a mistake the thunder made these last 2 games especially though is getting caught up in golden states style of play, OKC was shooting way too many 3s and missing almost all of them.

    What an epic series. As far as the Finals I would love to see the Warriors cement their legacy as the greatest team of all-time, but I would also love to see Lebron win one for Cleveland. I'll be happy either way. Hopefully the series goes seven games.
