It's been 3 games. They got embarrased by the Hawks (down Trae and JJ), had a horribly unexpected competitive game against Hornets (massively injured and down their top guys too) and now are being embarrassed by the Thunder.

Lakers are fine in the sense that theyre a comfortable playoff team in a West that no longer looks incredibly deep with Dallas/Memphis falling off and Clips/Dubs looking old. Theyre not fine if you were expecting more

Sometimes I forget that Denver is actually a proud father of twins, both the Lakers and Clippers.

OKC curb stomps everyone else too but they do it the Lakers and the haters come out and celebrate. Par for the course.

Tbh OKC is scarier in the regular season than they are in a playoff series.

Jokic is on one tonight. He's even getting whistles.

Joker with 25 points in the first quarter. This unconscious!

I for one am ready for a 45 point Jokic on 70% shooting (Loss) game. We're due for one :lol:

If joker got whistles he’d average over 32 ppg.

That's an obvious and pathetic flop by SGA... Just ridiculous that the NBA continues to reward that type of blatant foul-baiting nonsense.

Damn It I was going to say Det, because others say they're injured so I go Bulls LMAO.

Is this season going to be the center equivalent of 2016 Curry? Much too early to say, but if anyone could do it, it would be Joker.

Maybe if Cam is ok, he miraculously steps up offensively.

OKC vs Denver is the real finals.

I don’t think anybody really needed tonight’s game to know this is true. And further, Denver has a much smaller margin for error in that series.

Until (unless? Mitchell pick and all that) the cap rules start to impact this OKC roster, it’s probably going to take untimely injuries to stop them.

There hasn’t been a roster this much deeper than the rest of the league since when? The dawn of free agency? The 50’s-60’s Celtics?

People still don't give OKC enough credit for their amazing, suffocating defense either, everyone seems to think they are so good because of SGA, J-Dub and their other talented wings, but they just crush the souls of their opponents defensively

They are really tough and the bench doesn’t let up.

Damn Denver loses two starters in a span of 5 minutes. There goes all the depth.

Who wins?
