The one big advantage that the Oklahoma City Thunder have on the Warriors is the fact that they have better bigs! 22-year old center Steven Adams has been frustrating to Draymond Green of the Warriors, as Green kicked him in the nuts last night. It should result in a suspension for Green. Adams has started all 3 games for the Thunder in this series and he is averaging 30.0 minutes, 11.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game. 26-year old power forward Serge Ibaka is back to “playing big” in this series. He has started all three games so far in this series for the Thunder and he is averaging 32.6 minutes, 9.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocked shot per game. 23-year old Enes Kanter has been excellent too, as he has been bringing it off the bench so far in this series. He has played in all 3 games against the Warriors and he is averaging 8.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists in only 17.0 minutes per game. The Thunder need to keep frustrating the Warriors with their size advantage near the basket on both ends of the court!
