Who is that horrible teammate since fat Zion is the only guy I can think of but you already put his name as him having horrible teammates?!?

Run on sentence

OKC played horrible and looked every bit like the 2nd youngest team in the league, but a win is a win. I'm happy that the "jitters" didn't cost them a game.

So what. There is not one player on the Pelicans that is a bad let alone horrible teammates that poster claims. They all play together as a team better than some teams with selfish play from some players. Mavs and Cavs comes to mind. Also Knicks with Randle in the starting lineup.

They are having fun and will be the face of the NBA for a long time and everyone is jealous.

Really don’t see that coming. But hopefully it goes than the last time when OKC had 3 MVPs.

They’re learning from playoff experience, so it's a plus for growth.

But the reality is that they're the no.1 seed because they had unbelievable health luck. They should be the 3 seed. But Murray missing 23 games and KAT missing 20 games was the difference maker.

Murray and Kat aren't the most durable players. It's par for the course

This forum has always been weird about OKC. I used to think it was Westbrook but even after he left, they get criticized ruthlessly at whatever stage they're at. I wonder if it's related to the Sonics still.

Totally agree. You learn more from winning ugly games than winning blowouts.

the lakers are the only team that won the season series against the thunder this year lol

Nuggets 1-3
Suns 1-3(no SGA in their win)
Mavs 1-3
Wolves 2-2
Clippers 1-2

No chance anyone but maaaaybe denver sweeps them.

The Pelicans vet is Mccolum. This is a big problem…and missing Zion of course.

Crazy thing is, they easily have the currency to get something like that done in the offseason.

Don’t for the life of me understand how Murphy was drafted so low. Tall, lengthy, dead-eye shooter with enough athleticism to be in the dunk contest that started on an ACC regular season champ. How the heck does that guy last to 17 in the 2020s?

Mavericks that lost to 8th seed golden state was the weakest 1st seed. Most people felt that there would be an upset.

Willie Green lost them the game not calling timeout in that crucial possession that ended in a Chet block and then Sga scored

For some reason Nba coaches think theyre coaching the 2014 Spurs and trust their team to execute in high stakes situations instead of drawing up a play. I swear its ALWAYS a brick or turnover. Just call a **** timeout dumbass

It wasnt even a transition possession they were inbounding the ball and defense was set, no timeout horrible offense that nearly turned over then a desperate Nance floated that got swatted by Chet. Game basically over

So glad two teams decided to show up and give us a decent game this weekend! NO fans don’t hang ur heads, that was an excellent battle and they played their asses off. This will be one of the best series of this round. Look forward to watching these young titans battle it out!

There was an offensive foul called on BI that looked pretty sus with only a few mins left, but I was watching on TNT OT, so no replay. Was it actually legit?

Looked like a flop but I was kinda rooting for the Pels.

Who wins?
