Most people who watched Games 3 and 4 between the Warriors and Thunder would have stuck a fork in the Warriors in Game 5 (yours truly included).
Never mind that it was an elimination game, that it was at Oracle Arena, where a Warriors’ loss is once in a blue moon. It just seemed like no adjustments whatsoever could solve the Golden State’s Thunder problem, like no amount of switching or strategy or small ball lineup would amount to much.
After all, these were the Thunder that had the Warriors by the throat. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were leaps and bounds outplaying Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
