I'll say this about Golden State. They look fucking shook right now. They don't even remotely resemble the team that won 73 games.
Steph looks slow, weak, uncomfortable, and like he lacks confidence.
Klay forever appears high as fuck, but he showed some mettle. That was mostly a joke. Klay actually has done his damnedest to carry the offensive load when Curry isn't doing work, and he had a great scoring outburst last night.
Bogut looks dumbfounded despite committing the same stupid fouls over and over. Granted they aren't always called (and sometimes shouldn't be called at all), but he still makes them and is surprised when they get called.
Iggy needs to shut the fuck up and stop complaining. Some of his complaints ARE warranted, but this is the playoffs. Stop complaining on every. single. goddamn. play. (and I'm a HUGE Iguodala fan)
No idea what the fuck is up with Draymond Green. He's outmatched right now. He's getting sloppy. He isn't finding his spots within the offense.
Whether Steph is "injured" or not (I don't see how it would matter after his god-like Game 2), this Warriors team is VISIBLY lax and apathetic. At a time when OKC has turned it up to Ludicrous (Space Balls) speed.
I said in the other thread, Russell Westbrook is not human. He never has been. Sometimes that's to the detriment of his team because he forces shit. But right now, in this series, HE is the MVP. And he's imposing his will on the entire GSW team and there is nothing they can do to stop him.
Durant has been meh for the most part, but Westbrook is taking OKC to another level by inspiring his teammates to elevate their levels of play.
No excuses for either team, GSW is just getting beat by an OKC team that appears to be hungrier. When Steph cannot get shots in rhythm (something we've rarely seen this season), GSW struggle as a whole.
