Barkley said the same thing. I agree. Huge pressure for the thunder to protect home court.4/5 wrote:It's still just one game. All the Warriors need to do is one of these two on the road and they're good.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that the series being 2-2 would be worse for the Thunder than being down 3-1 for the Warriors would be. In other words, I think game 4 is possibly more important for the Thunder than the Warriors.
I've been wondering the same thing. They have been lackadaisical in that regard throughout the season turning it on when they need to. That won't work here.4/5 wrote:After the Blazers series and now this is it fair to ask what's happened to the Warriors defense?
I honestly didn't watch much of the Blazers series so I just saw final scores and highlights, but that can be misleading. Last night the Thunder just hit everything they put up. It's hard to know whether that was bad defense or simply a great offensive outing. It was probably a little bit of both, but since the Warriors were so great all season I expect them to make some corrections and bounce back.Monkey_Driven wrote:I've been wondering the same thing.

Makes sense. Teams with the firepower of the Thunder will do that at least once or twice in a series. I wasn't able to watch any of the game because I am out of town.4/5 wrote:I honestly didn't watch much of the Blazers series so I just saw final scores and highlights, but that can be misleading.
