No this was a meaningless game. Series has already been won by GS so we have advantage in any seeding. Maybe the Thunder got hyped from that win, but the dubs looked pretty lazy on D. As you said everyone's record is reset once playoffs start. And btw...that game this season where Durant scored 30 at the half and went down with injury? W's were up at halftime despite his hot shooting. Not only that, but they fought back from a 20 point deficit early on.
Thunder may get hot by June and put it together but based on what they've put out thus far...GS with homecourt would take OKC in 5, 6 max..
The entire team played well. Thunder are unbeatable when everyone is on, but you're very rarely going to get a game where the big 3 wreck things and the bench steps up like tonight.
Maybe not a good team, but filled with as much or more talent than most teams in the league.

Who's questioning that?
Meaningless loss maybe, OKC needs every win they can get.
The bold is just laughable.

Damn we already got playoff series predictions? lol
Same could be said about the Warriors.
They are the best team by record, so they get the benefit of the doubt.

Chances are that 1 game won't matter (the losses I'd say the dubs would regret are against the Lakers and Suns) ....If they were meant to face them they were meant to face them. Dubs match up just fine against OKC (played them close last year with Jackson iso ball..)..It's not as favorable as other lower tier teams like the Suns, Dallas or the Clippers.. But certainly not a Dallas-Dubs 2007 matchup ( Dubs had Dallas' number during the regular season- you could see that matchup being an issue by the way Dirk was countered- you don't see that kind of issue in this case).

Based on how OKC has played thus far...it's valid. However, the season's long and OKC certainly can get hot...
Whatever...I'm cool if the W's shut it down until after the all star break...They just need to start peaking in April and May. All I care right now is that the team stays rested and healthy...

Just wanna point out that All-Star Kevin Love hasn't entered the game against the Clippers (back spasms) and Cleveland's shooting 60%.

All Star Kevin Love finally found a way to make his team better.

So unselfish..
Agreed. I liked Bogut resting tonight. Wonder if anyone will rest tomorrow.
Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't want to see OKC in rd 1. No matter what my record was...
As a Rockets fan, they'll never get my respect. Would love them in the 1st round.

Knew Nick Young was gonna have a good game of all times. Good thing it wasn't enough this time.
Sixers win. Pistons win. Lakers lose.
Great day for team tank!

McHale is the man. Big 3 in Boston, several good bits in Cheers, and then that whole Navy thing.
If not for Josh Smith, the Rockets would win it all.
Can you at least give me a decent argument to why you disagree except we don't see eye to eye?

Why do they let Marion shoot the three. Or shoot.

Ehh, he gets a bad rep for no reason even though we did choke to Portland last season.
Not like Steve Kerr is Popovich Jr. and a massive improvement over Jackson.

He was a fan favorite when he was on the Kings. It's nice to see him having this type of success.
?? The Warriors have the best record in the NBA coming up on the halfway mark. The best scoring offense, the most efficient defense, the highest point differential...I'm not sure what else they have to do to be considered a good team :lol
The Rockets are great and could beat Golden State. Really every Western conference playoff team is legit and could beat basically anyone. Just think the Warriors deserve some credit for what they've done so far. That's all.
Ehh, as long as you know the team's place, everything is good.
Tomorrow's game should be good if all players play for both teams.
