ICYMI - KG was on a great roll on twitter yesterday...
The Mavs played the Thunder more competitively than this nonsense.
The Warriors can't stop the ball, can't stop the break, and can't make layups. #winning
The longer the Thunder keep this up, the crazier that Mavs Game 2 win in OKC gets.
Draymond Green is playing like a 2nd round draft pick tonight.
Scott Foster is the worst official in the NBA.

That kick by Draymond was intentional. They suspended Jones for something that could've been argued either way. I don't think the league suspends him because the Dubs are down 2-1 and everyone is sucking them off. Reggie Miller and Marv Albert are the worst. The TNT Crew was defending Draymond as well. Why is there a four day gap between game 2 and 3? Is that gap designed to help unhealthy players (Curry and Bogut) to get healthy? Damn, I am rampant with the conspiracies, but when you see shit like this, it's hard not to believe how much politics are in play.

I do believe the kick was intentional but it's also very hard to suspend a guy just from the play itself. I would honestly be surprised if he gets suspended and yes, part of that is because its GSW. If it was 3rd best player on the Mavs, he may as well start sleeping in.

These foul calls against the Raptors are so sketch.

Biyombo has a player option this summer right? If so, he's earning himself a nice paycheck right now

The NBA is hilarious. Upgrade but no suspension? What are you upgrading for? It was either intentional or not (it was). You can bet Turner or Disney had something to do with this.

Zero chance NBA doesn't insist on Lebron making the Finals.

Man, if Thinder can go up 3-1, they take the series. This is huge. Thunder seem like they've figured the Warriors out

It feels like with these calls that are going against the Warriors, the NBA is trying to make up for not suspending Green. I'm all for the Thunder winning, but it feels like a lot of these foul calls are so soft. GSW is still in the game too, a couple of quick miracle 3's from Curry and they have the lead.

Curry would've gotten that call at home, no doubt.

Could the dynasty be over before it started? Regardless if the Warriors somehow escape this game, the Thunder have figured out the Warriors. I keep saying but the difference this season for the Thunder is Adams/Kanter down low preventing that high PNR, which results in no kick out when the defense would normally collapse.

Possibly. The series is going back to GSW regardless and I feel like it's going to be a VERY different set of rules when you play there. I doubt the Thunder will get anything in their favor at all. It's going to be intense as hell, I can't wait.

The Spurs never won back-to-back -- lots of time for GSW to cement their dynasty, even if they don't win this season.

True but its fun to dream. Ive said this record breaking season will wear on them, but I thought it would show in the finals. Its showing big time right now. Their shots that are crazy but go in now just look crazy and impatient.

Hopefully that's enough for the Warriors to want to trade him...especially to us!

Yup, he played like ass tonight.
However, this series is far from over. A 73-9 team is the only team that can make a comeback. I'd be shocked if OKC manages to win game 5 in Golden State.

At this point, I wouldn't be shocked by anything OKC does. They've totally dismantled 2 of the 3 championship contending teams. Lebron will be (possibly) waiting for them in the finals.
I was actually thinking this really reminds me of the 2011 Mavs. OKC lost a game to us when they shouldn't have which woke them up (like Mavs/Blazers). Now they are plowing through the best teams in the West (Lakers then the Thunder). And might be facing another Lebron led team (Heat) in the finals. Sure seems like a another "destiny team".

If they get killed on the boards again, then GS will lose that game.

OKC should hire Cuban to inspire Westbrook.
He's 27-7-11 since Cuban's comments

It's a shame that Cuban will never change with such stupid comments. I do think it has a serious impact on FA negotiations as well.
Doesn't even matter whether he was right either (which he obviously isn't). It does 100% of no good telling the world that Westbrook isn't a superstar.
