Free Game Or Out Of Playoffs 

Post#2 » by Wammy Giveaway » Thu Mar 23, 2023 11:21 pm

At this point, I've lost all hope. Thunder are automatically in the playoffs because they defeated Clippers three games in a row. They got Terance Mann ejected from a game. They clearly won the Paul George trade. And worse, they could be responsible for the end of the George-Leonard era. Rumor has it Tyronn Lue might be gone. Look below:

Read on Twitter


Since Thunder have officially won the season series, they could allow Clippers to win the fourth and final game. It will be a free game, just so they can get one but it will be a meaningless one. Having said that, Mann will want revenge for his first ever ejection of his career.

Expect Mann to have his first ever triple-double.

Nothing Jake Fischer says ever has any truth to it.

I expected a split in this series, and even moreso after the first game. Mann dropping 35

Meh let's see how this goes. I don't know what to expect at this point. A different team comes out every quarter.

So first Lue defends the lack of ball movement or offensive system before the game, now he's starting Morris yet again. Can he just leave now instead of waiting for the summer? :noway:

If we go 0-4 against Thunder, I wanna see some heads on a platter.

I know they’ve been doubling him but not even one shot attempt for Leonard in the 2nd quarter is inexcusable.

Not excusing him but when you have a lineup where Eric Gorden is their only other shooter, Thunder are going to attack him hard.

You haven't heard? We can't have a functioning offense that gets our best players plenty of good shots because... the players are old. Our genius coach, who's totally not packing his bags to leave this summer, said so in the pregame.

I know we are without PG but I am not a fan of this lineup. Yikes

Gave up too many 2nd chances. Russ had some good moments but outside of those, he was just a nightmare to watch.
