I just watched "Believeland" a 30 for 30 doco about the Cleveland curse. No pro sports championship since 1964, multiple times they looked on the verge of breaking the curse only to suffer terrible luck, or they made poor decisions that ended in tears. If OKC can't win it, as much as I don't really like LBJ, I'm happy for the Cavs to win it to put the sports fans of Cleveland out of their misery. They certainly will appreciate it more than anyone else

Just finished watching the game after avoiding the score all day. What a game aye. 
Some of Klay's 3s were off the wall. Quick release, guy in his grill and from 2-3 feet beyond. 
OKC (Westbrook) went into rush mode in the 4th. The Dubs upped the defensive pressure no doubt, but I thought OKC lacked composure and then it slipped away, very quickly. 
Tough shooting night for the OKC duo. Combined 20-58 for KD and Russ. They forced some pretty tough ones down the stretch when they were still in control. 
Massive game Tuesday, can't wait.

OKC have what it takes to win, hopefully they turn up for the full 48 minutes today

Stevie comes out really aggressive, looking for his shots

Hooroo

I can't watch right now so watching viw ESPN website. Are OKC all over them but missing a truckload of shots?

ACT Crusader

Warriors have gone small early after they started Iggy for Barnes.
 
KD starting to get going now after not taking a shot in the first 6 minutes (very unusual).
 
Hooroo, not really all over them. Fairly even start. Both sides missed a few shots. Rebounding about even so far.

Good quarter by OKC but missed a few close ones at the end. Durant has to shelve the mid range jumpers and take it to the rack strong

Q2 thunder moving the ball and looking good. Waiters feeding the role players, especially Kanter cashing in. They need to keep spreading the ball and making the extra pass to win

Draymond Green tries to rip Steven Adam's arm out of the socket and drags him on top, slamming his head into the court. Jeez he's a dirty bastard

..having an extended lunch break and really enjoying the game. Never really watched BBall before outside of Oz v NZ, its a great watch, nice having a NZ link in there

What a game. Intense as ever. OKC lead 48-42 at the half. Klay started to hit something in that 2nd quarter. He's the key man for the Warriors.
 
KD pretty quiet so far in terms of looking for his shot. He will no doubt come out in the 2nd half looking to be really aggressive. Russ playing a fair bit of iso and looked rushed on a number of his shots.

OKC trying their hardest to let GSW steal the game. As good as they shared the ball, selfish decisions by Westbrook are letting the pressure off

Baron Silas Greenback

Well this game is pretty much done. GSW just live by the 3 pointer.
 
Gutted for OKC

Not out of it yet BSG.

Baron Silas Greenback

Nah, they are done.
Every time OKC get close, GSW throw up a bad shot that turns into a made 3.

You're not wrong. Huge 3 by Klay

ACT Crusader

Now Green.

Steph to the bucket and scores.
