The Golden State Warriors continue to dominate with another statement win, this time against the Oklahoma City Thunder who have Kevin Durant who is trading blows in the scoring race with Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook who is battling with Draymond Green for most triple doubles.
The problem for the Oklahoma City Thunder is that’s all they got. The Golden State Warriors also have Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and many others ready to pounce and it whenever the Thunder will face the Warriors, that’ll be the overriding factor everytime. But the Thunder of course made the game compelling.
It’s a shame that ‘compelling’ isn’t what the Thunder want. They want W’s.
“That’s what we’re supposed to do,” Durant said of the comeback. “When we get down, we’re supposed to tie the game up. No moral victories in here.”
“I wanted to win. That’s every game. We want to win every game. It sucks losing,” Durant said. “Around here, we’re accustomed to winning games, so to lose, we hate it.”
“Man, we’re not scared of neither one of those teams,” Durant said, including the Spurs. “We’re going to play our game. Nobody in this locker room is scared. We gotta play ’em. If we want to get to where we want to get to, we gotta play ’em. We’re not ducking nobody.”
The always-confident Westbrook said, “I mean they’re a pretty good team. But it’s not nothing we’re seen before. We’ll be ready to play them next time.“
‘Pretty good’. Russell Westbrook makes me laugh, he’s just so intentionally dismissive I love it. And rightly so, he’s such a tank individually that we know he will leave it all out on the hardwood. He wouldn’t be able to to talk like that if he wasn’t at 100 by tip-off. I would love it if the Thunder could somehow make it to the WCF but my hate for the Spurs won’t blind me from the fact that they and Golden State are the top 2 and there’s no conversation to be had.
