I just wanted to throw in my two cents and see what everyone thought. The thunder are peaking blah blah blah and Russel Westbrook looks like a beast out there. I am glad we got that out of the way. Their role players are playing out of their minds right now and making a clip of 47% of their shots and lets be honest their role players are not as good as they are playing right now. Will they be able to keep this rate going for the next two games? Maybe but I wouldnt bet on it especially with none of them having experience in these big playoff pressure moments. Also I think keeping Bogut in the game really helps against the bigs for the Thunder grabbing those rebounds and also clogs up the lane so Westbrook is less likely to just put his head down and run to the basket and that will equate to less fouls and free throw shots. Lets not fool ourselfs the Thunder are looking good right now because they are making hard shots and getting bailed out over and over from fouls and GS making uncharacteristic plays. Granted no one can cover Durant or Westbrook when they are on fire but to be honest they are combined shooting 42% so GS isnt doing that bad on those two. If the refs let them play do not be surprised at all when GS wins game 6 and we are right back in oracle for game 7 but if they start calling every little foul and the role players keep playing out of their minds then its Thunder/Cavs. My prediction is GS wins the next two and take that to the bank.
