That man needs to get a whole lot tougher.

Some players (and people) just have a hard time putting on weight.

Thomas Bryant shouldn’t see the floor again this series

Jalen has been an elite 2nd option these playoffs aside from the disaster Denver series. Basically 23,6,5 on high % and All Defense level defense. Pippen lite impact. Not as good a defender as Scottie was but a more skilled offensive player

This is probably the first game I can remember Daigneault coaching a tight 8 man rotation in the playoffs. Or at least it feels that way.

He wasn't that bad in the 1st half. He's just raw on offense, so it looks bad when it's bad.

He reminds me of a young Pippen and he's further along on offense than Pippen at a similar stage.

Mathurin is one of those Irrational Confident Players. Underdog teams need players like him against overwhelming favorite teams.

He did fine guarding Brunson. Here I don't know if he isn't interested or didn't do his homework or his ankle's bothering him he's lost guarding Williams. He's just not visible on the court.

Mike Breen might break his own record on laughs per 100 possessions.

Alright, no idea what that call was. That was clearly not deflected and the Thunder shouldn't have to use their challenge to get this overturned. Sounds like one ref was really, really sure and overruled the others, even though he shouldn't be that sure since he was wrong.

Chuck Everett · Post #600 » by **Chuck Everett** » Thu Jun 12, 2025 2:40 am

So now OKC has to waste a challenge? How do three refs miss that?

Omg you guys who wins Game 3??
