All this tells me is healthy curry would probably torch OKC and Denver.

He’s the literal difference between a great team and a championship team.


Well he’s making 20 million for the next four years, so he’s getting compensated for it.

But yeah he’s probably been OKC best player so far, pending the ending.

Wtf no it’s not. How the hell did you even come to this conclusion?


Okc needs experience and some more star power


They just had a 68 win season with their second best player missing 1/3rd of the season.

In other words... no they don't.

OKC really struggles on offense late in games but they don’t turn it over which always lets them stay in games as opposed to the Celtics :lol:

OKC coach just makes bad decisions. My understanding is you can only challenge the actual call not seconds before

So Jokic is allowed to push Caruso first with his left hand like that? What are the refs watching?

Jokic has to flail around like a clown an extra two seconds to get a call. Terrible.
