Ant makes some strange decisions at the end of games. Takes a contested pull-up 3 with 10 seconds left on the clock.

Lou Amundson comes to mind.

Sheesh, I looked it up, and he played for 10 teams. That's almost the scrabble equivalent of those bogus two-letter words.

Its the main reservation i have about them being true contenders. Late game decision making. Mostly Ant. KAT too.

Giannis had something like 28/18 at the end of the 3rd. Barely played in the 4th.

Ant is getting a lot better, Kat showed massive growth in the nuggets series, but yeah. Still rather Ant get off the ball and give to Conley to get it back so he can get a better look

They need to do everything in their power to have a Steven Adams reunion this offseason, Chet isn't going to get much bigger. Most 5 foot something dudes have a wider frame

But yes OKC is not ready yet because age and roster construction. Would be shocked if they made it past the 2nd round

OKC passed on Adams and allowed him to get traded to the Rockets and took a pick swap instead of Gafford so apparently they are intent on driving me nuts with this obvious Achilles heel

OKC is probably better off as the 2 seed, if they draw the Lakers in a 1 v 8 first round battle I'd probably take LA. One or two more years of development and trading for/signing a good center and they'll be contending annually though.

I love my midget schtick, but it's really age/experience that's the reason I don't see them as a major threat. I can definitely see them doing well. But winning four straight series? Slim to none.

Hahaha he works in a lot of scenarios for sure.

Just saw the end of game highlights for Warriors against Wolves...............its absolutely wild how moving illegal screens are not called anymore. Sometimes a ref will call it against the 9th man to make a dumb point but its not enforced

Rudy and Draymond were straight up holding and pushing defenders as screeners in refs face as their shooters got open. Show this to coaches or league a decade ago and theyd be speechless

thanks Warriors for this

Yep, thats part of the reason Bucks are such a terrible matchup for OKC, the experience gap is disgusting. If MKE is trying they don't seem to have much of a shot because experience. Then you compound that with Bucks being huge and OKC being little and it's curtains. Denver would eat them alive.

A scenario almost no one thought was possible 3 weeks ago. That Houston game looks like it might be the one that decides it.

MiltownMadness · Post #98 » by **MiltownMadness** » Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:53 am

Also don't think Chet getting 35 MPG in the playoffs is going to be pretty, this is not their year obviously.

The Silver comment.

Yup, tuff stretch of the season for GSW. They pretty much are a lock for the 10 seed.
But, you are right/ The Rockets may have something to say about that! Houston is surgin right behind them and they also meet up in a few weeks at Houston.

Who wins?
