@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Thunder vs Warriors

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Thunder vs Warriors game 7.5 out of 10 in NBA on May 31, 2016. Final score: Thunder 88 – Warriors 96. Conf. Finals. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“Despite the stakes and the long term impact of this game, it was not as close as the final score will tell you. The first half was kinda close, but when that 3rd quarter happened, the game was basically over. The Thunder never made it closer than 5 points and the Oracle crowd knew they had it in the bag. I wouldn’t be surprised if they felt like that going in. I distinctly remember my feelings going into this game. “OKC is screwed.” The Thunder had just been slapped in the face by Game 6 Klay and putting OKC’s morale 6 feet underground. Even if the Thunder could find the strength to compete, any large build-up of momentum for the Warriors could end their season and that is exactly how this game played out. Obviously, this game’s historical impact is near the top, but if you’re anything like me, you don’t like some of the impact this game had on the NBA. The actual game itself was more of a low 7 to me, but I can’t ignore the greater impact. So this gets a mid-7 out of respect. ”
