I actually think the games with OKC were wake up calls for the GSW. They were exposed on the offensive boards.
Agreed, and defensive boards too. And this is why, along with the fact that GSW will always out-outside shoot you, trying to play small against them is nuts. Kanter/Adams hurt GSW, but were notably absent in second half of Game 7.
You right, I should have said "on the board". OKC hurt them on both sides. They can't afford that with the Cavs (any Finals-worthy NBA team as a matter of fact) and know it. Furthermore, Draymond Green needs to keep his temper in check, play to his level and the bigs (Gortat, Ezeli) must play a lot better, get the rebounds and score a few points. As for the bench, Barnes et all must get out of their funk/slump... else it could be a long series .. I still believe they (GSW) will win in 6.
An impressive win! They did not miss a beat with the bench on the floor.Warriors win easily by 15 with the win from the bench. Steph had only 11
Tremendous team win
