I think it's fair to say OKC has some good talent on offense...

who said that ?

Sixers fans mostly. People are getting so heated about a stupid award like ROY that they will bash the other to make their guy look good. They are both great players, period.

C'mon man, as an outsider fan Sixers fans weren't saying that. Maybe a few of them were, but whenever I saw Sixers fans bring up Mitchell's efficiency it was always in comparison to Simmons' efficiency.

Jinglin' Joe is being guarded by Paul George? Is that a sign of respect?

Same can be said for BOS though. BOS was the #2 seed and Hayward only played like 6 minutes. You add a healthy Hayward and Kyrie to this Boston team right now and they would probably be the favorites to make it to the finals.

Oh, absolutely. In the end, it was more of his personal decision and there was no good indication that Mitchell would be who he is right now. Celtics could definitely use him going forward and for the long-term. He fits well for either team.

Ya I think looking back at it, Hayward was in a no lose situation choosing between those 2 teams.

And this was the one team I didn't want to face in the 2nd round.

Who says you're getting to round 2?

Damn...

There's gonna be a team that scores under 80 points in this series.

True. But i do think there's gonna be some diminishing returns with Hayward in Boston where there would be less so in Utah

Please don't let PG shoot 3s, anyone but him!

Get Abrines in the game. OKC can't shoot right now.

Been comparing him to Wade for months. He's a monsta.

I think you need to trademark the Spyda King nickname, it’s legit.

It was funny AF, George bumped himself into Adams and was looking at the refs

We barely started he's keen to take some. Now is the time to maximize his facilitating skills with Gobert in the paint. To take jumpers would be murdering his team.

Never understood this comparison...

Similar size and athleticism, legit 2 way guard that can score and can facilitate as well. Obviously their games arent identical because Mitchell is a 3pt shooter while Wade never was.
