    Got GSW by 10-20 points, even on enemy soil, OKC needs more pieces before they can become contenders again

    Lol if you're in the playoffs, you are a contender and right now, OKC is in the playoffs.

    And will finish between 5-8 seeds.

    Couldn't disagree more, there's 2-3 legit contenders in the NBA each season, maybe 4 or 5 at the absolute most some seasons, definitely not 16 real contenders.

    Anyways excited for this KD/Russ match up.

    Just LOL at OKC even making past the first round let alone the 2nd, they'll get r---d by GSW,SAS or Houston. Not even an OKC hater, it is what it is.

    Nah there are 3 teams in the NBA who can win it all. Golden State, Cleveland and then San Antonio (the long shot). The Rockets are 4th on odds to win it all at +1600 and then its the Celtics at +2000. Both of those teams have no shot. Even before Durant signed with the Warriors it was a 3 team league, now its a 2 team league. And will be for the foreseeable future. This is why as a Celtics fan i'm not interested in getting rid of these Brooklyn picks.

    d--- this OKC crowd is always crazy hyped, taking it to another level tonight though. It must be fun to go to games there.

    Fast paced start so far.

    Sad. I remember being bummed the C's took him over Perry Jones (who was top 5 preseason), especially since they took Sullinger with the pick before.

    Last I heard he was playing in Brazil. Anyways RIP.

    yeah same, but gsw is just too good. Like i predicted, OKC will lose by 10-20. Same pattern as the last 2 games.

    Well this isn't looking too good at all here, OKC gotta go on a run these last couple minutes of the half and first half of the 3rd quarter to have any real chance...

    Was hoping it'd at least be close for a while, but Warriors pulled way ahead and stayed there ever since the benches first came in basically.

    Ugh this is just sad for OKC at this point, it's over.

    Oh well, at least I can turn it off early and watch UFC.

    Somehow Morrow's lack of ability to hit from f---ing anywhere behind 3pt is almost as disappointing as KD leaving.
