You can't play Alvarado in this series if he can't stretch the floor. He's too small.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I'm angry!
The series doesn't start until someone loses at home. Nothing changes when the higher seed wins their two home games.
That has literally no effect on my anger.
Sorry.

CJ sucks, he's a 6th man at best.

McCollum looking more like the dude that should backup Wes Matthews than the veteran star meant to lead New Orleans young roster.
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.
Where’s Joel Embiid?

Trey Murphy won't reach his potential until he tightens his handles. Teams can press up on him and take him out of the game.

thunder offense has figured out everything this year and i thought they would play much better, and they are. but they really cleaned up the three point contests and rotations also. pelicans not getting as many open threes.

These are the Zionless Pels i expected, that first game was a fluke!
If everything is going well, expect an WojBomb

OkcSinceSGA wrote:The Pelicans are uniquely equipped with a bunch of good defenders that can guard multiple positions. They definitely aren’t an easy team to deal with on that end. But OKC had typical young player nerves who haven’t been there. They had to work way too hard and forced a lot of shots. I expect a more dominant win next game. OKC by 15.
Thunder fans I told you I would not forsake you. Remember to trust my predictions about this team. Not just SGA’s rise… but many of you were low on my predictions of them being a title contender this year and thought I was crazy for saying they could be a top 3 seed THIS year and not years down the line. 15+ point win easily. Take my predictions to the bank.

OKC offense looked a lot better tonight. Game 1 they seemed to have jitters. Pelicans scored 92 both games.
I expect New Orleans to take game 3
