Thanks. Wondered if he might just be a bench player who gets on for a few minutes but they make him sound like the star.

Edit: Heh, 10 minute segment on his nuts on the news tonight. Kick definitely looked deliberate. You don't jump like that.

Adams is a unit.

Huge, athletic, strong defender. Great timing on rebounds and soft hands off the glass. Much, much improved since he arrived to replace Kendrick Perkins. Also, he's unflappable. Nothing fazes him. Relishes the physical battles.

May not be an out and out star, but definitely one of the better big men in the league.

@Gaz: it's a wonderful series. OkC matches up very well against the warriors. Their confidence will be up after this win, and I don't see them dropping game 4 - especially with the strong likelihood of Draymond Green being suspended for that dirty play. Puts pressure back on gsw for game 5.

Was a great display by OKC, while the Warriors for the second time in this series completely lost their composure. Warriors had way too many quick shots when the game was in the balance, and OKC punished them for it. I'd say game 4 is a must win game for the Warriors, and if Draymond Green gets suspended that is going to be even more of an uphill battle. Hope he doesn't get suspended though!

Seems as if Draymond Green will NOT be suspended after all. Been upgraded to a flagrant 2 foul though from what I can tell. Green has 6 technical fouls now though, which means that if he gets a 7th it is an automatic one game suspension.

OKC vs the NBA game 4 tonight. Disgraceful decision to let Draymond play, but I don't mind.

We'll tonk em still

😆 vs the NBA...
I suppose there are quite a few people who want the Warriors to win, but so far in the series it would be quite difficult I imagine for anyone to say that OKC doesn't deserve to be up 2-1.
Personally, I think Green should have been suspended, but I'm glad that he isn't. If would have had a major impact on the series, and I think the NBA certainly took that into consideration. I'd be amazed if he manages to go through the rest of the playoffs without another technical though... Splash brothers need to step up, because I don't see the Warriors coming back if they lose game 4.

Live by the jumpshot, die by the jump shot. A shooting team suffers once the key snipers are off rhythm. See Kevin Love & the Cavs last night.

re Golden state, If you are able to run their shooters off the 3 point line, they are forced to cut in and try to get points in the paint. With the height, blocking ability, athleticism and defensive rebounding that OKC's line up possesses, getting points that way will be more troublesome for the warriors and would require more effort. Key is OkC staying locked in defensively as they have been for the games we have won.

okc has gone ultra small and gsw wasnt able to adjust. when okc goes small and uses ibaka at C, gsw needs to exploit that with bogut and draymond

--

Going "ultra small" whatever that means wasn't the reason why okc won the last game...

Plus you're not going to play Draymond Green for 48 minutes straight are you ?

Though I'm not interested in this sport, that really bugs me if that's the NBA's reasoning. I assume it's the deliberate kick in the nuts in this case? Surely a foul is a foul and the rules are the rules regardless of what game or stage of a competition they occur in. If it would have a major impact to his team then diddums. Perhaps he should have thought about that before committing the deliberate violent act.

westbrook is so damn selfish. this has been a good back and forth game. the ticky tack foul calls are really annoying though

--

Lol. Westbrook is the heartbeat of the team

I'd argue he's the best player even.

--

Fouling is tactical. Great move by Billy D

oh i get it, and hes obviously awesome, but sometimes he just seems to have tunnel vision.

curry has been terrible and klay is in foul trouble, this isnt looking good for gsw

--

Like I said before, excellent matchup for Thunder. We are perfectly equipped to take care of golden state.

mdgoonah41

i wouldnt get carried away yet, long way to go. you are an arsenal fan, you should know better

--

Heh, I do know how to pick em.

--

Seriously though, I've felt confident about the series since game 2. Notice how hard EVERY SINGLE shot is for Golden State? It's just a bad match up for them. Too big, too athletic, and strong defensively.

klay is on fire
