Oladipo is having a terrible shooting game. I think Bogdonavic is going to have to hit a big shot or 2
Still really impressive the leap this kid has taken in Indiana. He got in great shape and is relentless. Great on the ball defender, explosive, great finishing around the rim. Still needs to improve his shot

It's been a long time since someone had such a strong heel turn in the NBA. Durant is the polar opposite of who he was in OKC. Complete jackass. I think on the court he's still a good teammate but man oh man is he petty to the nth degree off of it.

He's an insecure child. If he wasn't a Warrior I'd hate the dude.

Lue is a f**king moron for playing Lebron the whole f**king 2nd half in games 3 and 4. You've to find couple of minutes to rest him. Just dumb.
Lue is desperate as his job is on the line. He is thinking super short term, like a politician
I hope the public gets the sixers/cavs series we deserve
Lebron probably told him he wasnt coming out. No one can actually believe that if Lebron said he needed a break that he would play the entire half.

Yeah, he really changed a lot. Went from a very likable, humble guy in OKC (image wise), to some wanna be tough guy. He couldn't handle the criticism. The funniest on court moment from new KD was when he tried to trash talk and fight Cousins. Then after the game he said that he was really scared and said he would never fight and he knows that everyone will get in the middle... then why go out of your way to talk trash like that for no reason?

Yup. Lue isn't the coach. He's just a mouthpiece for lebron.

Harden can't beat Butler off the dribble. Butler is big enough he just plants, spreads out and all of Harden's fakes do nothing. They need to stop going iso so much. When Paul gets the ball set a pick and he gets a ton of space after. They need to set picks for Harden. Minny can't switch and keep a good matchup.

I've also never seen such a good offensive team go so cold all at the same time. Minny is doing well but they can only do so much. Houston is missing open 3's, layups and dunks.

I'm not prone to meltdowns as a fan. It only happens when simple crap is messed up consistently.
I'm fixing to have one with all these missed wide open 3's. 4 of 17. 1 for last 13.

50 pts in the 3rd quarter is the most ever in the 3rd quarter in the playoffs. It is the 2nd most in any quarter in the playoffs, 1 point short of the record of 51.

He was in the shadow of Westbrook in OKC, and I don't mean talent wise. If Curry and Thompson are hitting their shots he is all-world #1. The change in personalty may be his reaction to playing with Westbrook and not being able to handle it. This bad dude persona is funny.

I think the entire Warriors team did the same transition and Durant simply just got sucked into it. I liked the Warriors their first championship run because they were extremely humble. After they just turned into cocky little douchebags that celebrated and acted like they hit game winners after every uncontested layup or wide open shot.
