    Question Bigger pressure game: Game 4 WCF or Game 5 ECF?

    Hard question,

    OKC are up 2-1 which has some breathing room, but if they slip they'll go back to Oracle risking 3-2... Golden State are that good you'd like their chances at home

    2-2 at Cleveland. This might be bigger because the winner goes up 3-2... But you feel like Cleveland could win at Toronto if they start hitting shots and bring the intensity.

    The question is; Who's more ****ed... A 1-3 GSW, or a 2-3 Cleveland... A 2-2 OKC game 5 in Oakland, or a 2-3 Toronto on the ropes at home?

    I would say the pressure is on the Cavs. They've dropped 2 in a row.

    Golden state is a 73 win team, I see them taking the next one, and taking it back to oracle. I still have them in 6 or 7.

    One team has to win 3 out of 4 to advance. 2 have to win 2 out of 3 and another one 2 out of 4.

    Obviously it's harder to win 3 out of 4, if they lose they have to win 3 straight. The Cavs/Raps lose it's 2 straight.

    1-3 GSW would be much more ****ed than 2-3 Cavs.

    WCF for sure. GS will win the series if they tie it 2-2. Raptors have no chance to win even if they go up 3-2

    Cavs were expected to dominate with 98/100 people expecting a sweep. 2 expecting a game 5.

    50/100 expected the Thunder to take the Warriors to at least game 6. The other 50 expected the Warriors to win in 5 or win in 7.

    Invincible to invisible. Cavs

    I think Cavs and game 5. To me Warriors might be cooked already.

    Game 4, easy

    GSW aint lost twice in a row all season. If they break that trend tonight they go down 3-1, would take a lot to come back from that in the WCF. Seems like a lot of squads get shook playing the Dubs, OKC don't give a shit, they would play the monstars and act like they should wreck them fools

    Game 4. Ask yourself, is it easier to win 2 in a row against the Raps, or 3 in a row against a gelling OKC?

    Biggest pressure on Warriors for game 4. Game 5 is important, but the pressure is equally dispersed between Cavs and Raptors. I expect Lowry to crumble under it.

    Warriors are one loss away from being on the brink of elimination with them having to win 3 straight against a team that beat them at home. Warriors are coming off their worst blowout loss in the Playoffs with their current roster.

    Cavs would be on the brink of elimination as well but they are facing a worse team that has lost every game @ Cleveland by 70+ points in a span of 3 games.
