*** 11.5 Months Ago was the Last Time GS lost Two in a Row. That Changes Tonight ***

Nothing is ever a guarantee in sports but 7 months ago I said if the Thunder make the playoffs healthy they will be an absolute force to be reckon with. This team has so much talent but they haven’t been healthy come playoff time for 3 straight seasons, after appearing and losing in the NBA finals with an inexperienced team in 2012. 

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are the best players in the NBA without a ring, making them in my opinion the hungriest team in the NBA. Everyone knows they have size, but most people don’t know they are one of the best rebounding teams in NBA history this season. Size matters in the playoffs and it’s showing big time. 

When the Warriors (or even Cavs for that matter now) are hitting their 3s, they can win despite any matchup on any given day. But when shots start to miss – OKC has a big advantage with extra possessions. 

They have the momentum coming off Sunday's victory and a size/length disparity that Steve Kerr hasn't answered yet. Golden State's only chance to win in Okc is game 6, if they put together an impressive game 5 win. I am not worried about game 4, I am more worried about game 6 if golden state goes in with momentum and OKC having the pressure to close it out at home.

Golden State will be ready tonight and will try and slow the game down, it's the only thing Kerr can respond with here. Okc will be ready as well and will win in a slower paced game.

• Thunder +7 (last leg of yesterday's tease)
• Thunder +110 (2x)
• Okc/Gs under 222 (1x)

Playing both of these smaller, up a ton right now in the playoffs with a lot on the line in futures. Scaling it back a little here.

This series has quickly become eerily similar to Warriors/Mavs 2007 (in reverse for Golden State obviously) where the Mavs simply had no answers for everything and anything Golden State presented.

Not only that, but the Warriors have the 73 win burden and as LC pointed out, it's the hungriest team in the NBA with 2 of the top 5 players in the league.

The funny thing is, I think the Cavs would prefer the Warriors in a revenge match-up than a Lebron/OKC match-up where OKC has all the revenge (and is obviously white hot).
