3 Big Things
- Strength for strength: depth and runs. OKC and the Warriors are currently the two deepest teams in the league. And Oklahoma City has won most games by force, reminiscent of Steph's death lineup and LeBron's Heatles, combining smothering defense with offensive starpower to form those back-breaking runs that put overmatched foes to bed.
- Young vs. Old. Can the Thunder perimeter prevent a Curry flurry, or could their young legs find some give against the Warriors deep, veteran rotation? Or will Golden State's experience make the difference in a close battle?
- For #1. If Phoenix loses, the Thunder would be alone at the top of the standings. If the Warriors or Suns win, they'll be tied at best.
Prediction
I get to post a snarky victory tweet referencing Draymond. OKC 109 GSW 97
