So now, that my friends, was a great game last night. OKC controlled the whole way and GS jumped up and stole it. Klay Thompson was phenomenal and Steph took over late. Game seven should be fun.

Very fun game. I am not the biggest NBA fan. But I enjoy watching both of these teams and am torn between who to root for. I want to see Golden State win so they back up their record season, but at the same time I don't want to root against OKC. Game 7 should be a great game.

I think the Warriors won the series last night. All the momentum was with the Thunder yesterday and looked like they may be on the verge of blowing them out at various points. Golden State showed their championship level resiliency and I think they finish the comeback tomorrow.

I think GS will win too....but I think it'll be a pretty good game. OKC has proven to be a very tough matchup for the Warriors....they won't go quietly, IMO. I don't really have a dog in the fight either way. If it's half as good a game as last night I'll be thrilled.

Very similar to how Duke mentally dominated Maryland in '01. Maryland controlled all four of those games and Duke just quietly and steadily came back and won 3 of the 4. OKC has really played Golden State better than anyone this season, controlling most of their match ups, but GS just continues to win. Very mentally demoralizing.

Good answer from the Warriors after falling behind by 13 and quickly cutting it to four. This is going to be a fun game.

And just like that OKC scores seven unanswered to go back up 11.

Draymond Green kind of bugs me.

These teams are going at it right now. Any other team would have been getting blown out right now, but the Warrior's 3 ball is keeping them in it.

That was a great series. The Warriors were pushed all the way to the brink and responded with three straight wins. One of the better playoff series I've ever watched.

And the crazy thing is, other than the last two games, none of the others were really even close. They had seven outstanding games without one defining classic.

I never thought I could say this being from Cincinnati, but go Cleveland! I think that loss maybe one that pushes durant to reevaluate his situation and head back east. That being said, will anyone here root for golden state? They have the dreaded Harrison Barnes while Irving is balling for the cavs

I like green but stop crying for a call dude.

What a come back from gsw, the MVP did his thing.

Pulling for warriors, frankly, I don't have much attachment to Kyrie at all. Love watching klay and Steph though.

Have to agree on the Green assessments. Very hard not to root against a dirty player that complains a lot. Can't imagine if he had been at Carolina for 4 years.

Also, I've noticed Iguodala has a penchant for whining for extended periods - even several seconds into live ball action. He's done that several times this series. I like the splash brothers, I love their offense, but some of their players I don't really care for. But yes, I'll be rooting for the Cavs and Kyrie to take home the Larry O'Brien trophy.

I don't really cares who wins. Obviously I hope Kyrie does well, but I'm not a fan of either Lebron or KLove, so the Cavs are kind of blah to me. I like the Warriors but also don't really have any attachment to them, either.

I'll just hope for some good basketball and an entertaining series.

I really don't have any one to pull for. I like how GS plays so I like watching them, but id also like to see Kyrie get himself a title. All I want is for 7 games of pure awesomeness

I never really noticed before this year, but you are absolutely right. He has his palms turned up and the "Who me?" look on his face after EVERY SINGLE CALL.

Yes he does. So does, Lebron, KD, Green, Waiters, and a bunch of other guys, it's very very annoying.

As for the series I hope it goes 7 games (or a month and a half in real time) because after this and the US Open it is dog days of summer for live sports. I'll pull for the Cavs b/c of Kyrie, but really just want seven awesom games.

I like Curry but barnes* and mcAdoo* knock G.S. out for me. Cleveland has 2 Duke players so that's who I'm pulling for. Wish they would some team would have nothing but former unccheat* players on the team. That would be idea. OFC

I have figured it out. Now it would take some sharp trading and deals but mj* could do it.

NBA teams have player rosters.

unccheat* had players last year in the NBA. With Johnson who is for sure to be a 1st rounder Charlotte can make sure they get him as their first draft choice through some multiple trades which can get them several other former tarheel* players. Now that will make 16 or if they go . ahead and draft paige* in he second round that will make 17. Got to get rid of 2. Possibilities here are carter* retiring and if not a couple of players will have to go to Charlotte's D league team in Greensboro until they are need. Here are the 17 that Charlotte could turn that franchise into the Charlotte Hornheels. It will be depth at every position and hof coach roy williams will not turn be able to turn mj* down this time. With this there would be only one team with any tarheel* players on it. Each year at draft time they could just pick tarheel* players and move them back and forth among the D league as they please. Winning will not play into it even if they go 0-82 simply because of the seats that tarheel* fans fannies will fill. They could charge anything they wanted to for tickets a other things because those heel* fans will pay it. In time they could pay for a new arena that could hold 40 or 50 thousand heel* fans and even then the arena will be filled.
